I wonder if Bollig is dumb enough to try.

[No Fun Shogun]

Expecting for the Rangers to come out hot tonight to make up for getting shown up by us the last time we played them.

They got stomped last night in Ottowa.

I wouldn't be surprised if his job depends on him trying. It should be virtually inevitable that he does.

I don't think his job should be on the line but I do think he will try to fight him, and promptly get his butt handed to him.

If we have to lose, I only ask to see a legendary Marian vs. Marian showdown. 3-3 with a hatty for each. John Scott with the OT winner

[Teemu]

I think that, squared up, Bollig would prove a hard opponent for Scott. Bollig's like a taller Cam Janssen--a man that Scott has always had trouble with--because he can take a bunch of hits and still not lose his stride. Bollig may be able to out-endure him.

Lundqvist will be a tough nut to crack, but I think the boys can do it.

[Steve Larmer]

Scott is also very bad at keeping his balance. He'll throw a big right and then have to stammer around after it misses, trying to sturdy himself.

If Bollig can keep his distance and wait for Scott to swing and miss, I think winning a fight is not out of the question for him.

5-0
another shutout for Lundqvist

Wow isn't that kind of old for a figure skater? Most of the ones I see on TV are between 18-22.

Bollig v. Scott. Gonna happen. Gonna be ugly.

Not too confident going up against lundqvist.

[Judrix]

this will be a drubbing.

[Timinater]

A couple weeks ago, Scott was impossible to beat. Now that he's not a Hawk anymore, he's beatable. You guys are funny.

[madgoat33]

lol @bollig beating scott. Nobody in the NHL is beating scott barring a total fluke miracle.

[BobbyJet]

Why the **** should any player in the NHL go after John Scott. You win hockey games by intimidating the good players. We saw it first hand over and over again when Scott was here. Opps would go after the Kanes and the Toews, and ignore Scott. Yes, you'll see the odd staged fight in today's NHL, but that is quickly going extinct. This team, including Bollig can forget a slug named John Scott. If Bollig or any Hawk fights anyone it should be as a direct result of him taking on a skilled player or .. ahem... the result from him running Lunquist. A staged fight with Scott serves no purpose whatsoever .. and if does happen, Bollig is likely to be carried off on a stretcher afterwards.

[Illinihockey]

Would rather Bollig not fight Scott and let Scott try to play. If Bollig is going to go then take on Rupp
