Should the Kings answer the John Scott (SJ) signing?

[ADifferentTim]

The headline of the SI article about this signing is hilarious:

"Sharks descend into madness, sign enforcer John Scott"

It's officially safe to say the Sharks are desperate to move on from that 2014 Round 1 choke job, to the point the they're embracing the distorted notion "goonery equates to defense" when the truth is otherwise.

Newsflash, San José: Los Angeles hasn't forgotten Joe Thornton's 2011 celebration at STAPLES Center.

Wilson is going to get Brown's apology if it's the last thing he does

Scott, his hands around Browns neck..."say it, say you're sorry to Hertyl you dirty punk!"

Was this thread intended as a joke? I sure hope so...

The first line of the story is even better:

So that's what the Sharks were missing during their heartbreaking seven-game loss to the Los Angeles Kings last season: an empty sweater.

John Scott signs with the San Jose Sharks, presumably to punch the other 17 skaters in the face if they blow another 3-0 lead.

What's all this revenge talk on Brown on the SJ boards? Should have gotten him during the playoffs. Just because their team doesn't stand up for each other, they had to wait for the season to be over so they can sign big foot. We have some guys on our team that are not really fighters; Greene, Richards, RR, VV, and even Williams, but if they have to send out a message they will. I have no clue what SJ is doing and I don't think Wilson does either. Sit back and watch them unravel.

With the way Shark fans talk about Brown, you'd think they were talking about the Führer.

Hertl should learn to take a hit like a man and not avoid it by sidestepping.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

What are Ivanans and Westgarth up to these days?

 

[tsanuri]

I think we can safely say we have a consensus on this one.

Thank you; even Kopi has cojones to take and deliver hits.

Geez, just because Hertl is Czech, Sharks fans have to resort to using the Hitler Card.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Because Brown ended Hertl's career.

Yes. Bring back Ivanans, Westgarth, and Zeiler. Best 4th line in the league!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Yes. Bring back Ivanans, Westgarth, and Zeiler. Best 4th line in the league!

I just threw up a little bit. Having 'Nam flashbacks, despite being a child of the 80s.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Yes. Bring back Ivanans, Westgarth, and Zeiler. Best 4th line in the league!

Bring back Dennis Gauthier to play the 3rd pairing!

How the hell are you not throwing all your money at Penner if your the Sharks?

Don't give them ideas.

at 64 to 2, totally agree,

i guess as a child of the bench clearing brawls ('70s), it's hard to not revert back to the neanderthal period, especially when you are tempted by such a signing by SJ,

Note avatar.

And their fascination with Dustin Brown (first American born captain to hoist two Stanley Cups) is laughable. They're fanatical about the guy.

Best poll we've had on here!

John Scott might end up turning into another Brett Burns.

Burns is a good player and Scott is completely useless and a cone on the ice. Great signing Gold Fish err Sharks.

I personally don't know Scott's playing style but when I read he plays both Wing and D, that Iimmediately reminded me of Brett; the latter knows how to play both, just reading at Brett's scouting report.
