John Scott relishes chance to play what could be his last game

MONTREAL - If it ends up as his final NHL game, John Scott says there is no better place for it than the Bell Centre.

The six-foot-eight, low-scoring tough guy, who was the talk of the NHL all-star game after being playfully voted in by fans, was set to play his first -- and probably only -- game for the Montreal Canadiens against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.

The affable 33-year-old is to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and is not sure to be signed in a league that has been leaning away from fighting and enforcers.
