Radiolab
The Punchline

For guys like Greg Wyshynski and Jeff Merrick, voting John Scott into the All-Star Game was not just a hilarious joke about a big guy who couldn't skate, but it was also a big fat middle finger to the hockey establishment.

Radiolab
The Punchline

So I'll just do the whole, the big points.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Do it, do it.

Radiolab
The Punchline

I was, we were on the road and we were on the bus heading to a game or a pregame skate.

Radiolab
The Punchline

It was December 2015.

Radiolab
The Punchline

John was playing for the Arizona Coyotes.

The Punchline

And a guy on my team, Anders Lindbeck, our goalie, he was sitting beside me and he's like, hey, you're in, it was like 56th place or something, you know, of the fan voting.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And I was like, oh, you know, that's great.

Radiolab
The Punchline

People think it's a joke.

Radiolab
The Punchline

They're going to vote for me a little bit.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And it was nothing serious.

Radiolab
The Punchline

So that's how I first heard of it on the bus.

Radiolab
The Punchline

So we go to the rink, we do our skate.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Literally after the skate, he checks his phone again and he's like, holy cow, man, you're like top 25.

Radiolab
The Punchline

It happened that fast.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And then the next day I was top five.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And then like the day after that, I was number one.

Radiolab
The Punchline

It was unbelievable how quickly it grew.

Radiolab
The Punchline

John Scott, number one.

Radiolab
The Punchline

The number one vote getter among all players in the NHL.
