Craig Morgan is the one who really goes off. He starts by saying there's no context to John's quote about PK. And that's just "John Scott being John Scott". And then he goes bananas and says the entire Coyotes locker room thinks John Scott is a selfish ass and nobody wanted him on their team and NHL fans were sold a false bill of goods when he was the likeable hero at the all star game and now that he's made this comment about PK - Craig feels like he can finally tell the truth about John Scott.
His reasoning for this is mostly - no one congratulated John Scott on twitter. Which is maybe not the best barometer? And then they rag on the fan vote. Then they rag on Dylan Larkin for being the super popular all star rookie that should have been Max Domi because the Red Wings don't need a loveable rookie to be popular but the Coyotes do. And then there's a Shane Doan for all star campaign.
To me they come off as people who have an ax to grind. And they come back to it being about the Coyotes not having a representative in the all star game and how it was selfish of John Scott to go.
They kind of play it off as "we're finally telling you what we've known forever" and "You should believe everything I say, but I'm not telling you who said it but ~lots of people said it."
And then they make it into a race thing and the way they do it it kind of felt (to me) like they're underhandedly saying John Scott is racist.
(And then they rail very passionately on the Mem Cup format)
