Girgensons loves going to the net. He's not looking to pass the puck, he's looking to jam it down your throat.

Honestly, why is Scott on the powerplay? I get he's big and can screen, but surely someone else can do the same thing while not being totally useless in every other aspect.

Maybe this was discussed already at some point but why exactly is he playing on the PP? The guy just doesn't seem to have any offensive skill at all.

Nolan is daring the league to fine him for player selection.

even the sabres' twitter feed is in on it:
#Sabres sniper John Scott on the ice for that power play, but puck just didn't get to him.

Not the first time... He was pretty effective in the game where we had like 9 forwards

And after that putrid 1st PP, I love that Nolan out him out there

He was on the first one too lol. I love the idea but wouldn't you want to put him out there with some forwards that can create, not Ott and D'Agostini?

He's got a decent shot. The power play is abysmal anyways so it's really not a big deal.

I don't mind him out the with 2 diggers... The object is to get Scott in front and get the point shot to the net.

They are using what they have
