Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 Scary stuff. Glad he is OK. He is a good guy by all accounts. Quote
Weave Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 John Scott is a fisherman. Another reason I like the guy. Fear of going through the ice is why I don’t fish the hard water. 1 Quote

I'm still about halfway through. I'm right at when he got traded to Montreal and dropped to the AHL because they didn't want him in the game, which I had basically forgot about.

Expand Heard the same about him too. Used to work with a guy who lived next to John's parents. Never heard anything bad about him, seems to have a good sense of humor about himself and knew he serves a dying role in the NHL. Quote

Andrew Amerk Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Reading this reminded me of The Dead Zone. Quote
Ogre Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 You’re a 6’8 giant, John. WTF were you thinking? I’ve heard that you’re smarter than than that. Quote
Pimlach Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Glad he is ok. I will always admire him for doing a dirty job and taking care of his teammates. Quote
Kr632 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Glad he's ok. It is no fun falling thru ice. Quote
Jacque Richard Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 A Buddy of mine fell thru as kids too in a pond. We were going to shovel the ice to skate. Lucky all of us were there to help. We always remembered that day over a beer now that we’re old. Quote
BMWR100RT Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks for sharing that RadioLabs. I don't know why, maybe because I was just an average athlete that had to work twice as hard, but I got just as teared up as when I watched it actually happen. Maybe because of his and his wife's narration. Fantastic stuff. 1 Quote
