Jeremy Roenick isn't one to mince words, and he was pretty open about how "terrible" he found it that John Scott planned to attend the NHL All-Star Game after the fan voting gone awry earned the bruiser an invite.
But the player-turned-analyst appears to at least be giving Scott a bit of "incentive," as SportsNet called it, ahead of the big event.
The All-Star fete includes the Skills Competition Accuracy Challenge, in which only four players in history — including Roenick in 2004 — have achieved a perfect score. So one hockey fan, @zackgoody16, took to Twitter to ask JR the following question:
"@Jeremy_Roenick if John Scott can beat your record for accuracy in All Star skills challenge will you donate 10K to a charity of his choice?"
To which Roenick replied just a minute later:
"Absolutely."
Now, judging by Roenick's open disapproval of Scott's attendance, the tweet could potentially mean: "Sure, because I don't think he'll notch a 4-out-of-4 in the skills test anyways." But it could also be a good motivator for Scott, who is known for more accuracy during fisticuffs than he is with handling the puck.
The 2016 NHL All-Star Game festivities take place Jan. 30-31 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
