A couple of weeks ago John Scott scored a goal for the Buffalo Sabres. That was kind of a big deal because John Scott doesn't really score goals -- ever -- and it was just the second time in his NHL career a puck went into the net off of his stick.
John Scott penalized for throwing puck into the net
John Scott doesn’t put the puck in the net very often, so maybe he’s just not sure how to do it.

Well, in the first period on Thursday night following a pile up in front of the net, Scott put the puck in the net a different way - by throwing it in after the whistle.
Nice try, good sir, but that’s not going to work. And for his post-whistle efforts he earned himself a two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct because, well, you just can’t do that.
Of the 373 penalty minutes Scott has tallied in the NHL those are probably two of the lamest.
