VIDEO: Sabres enforcer John Scott scores rare goal vs. Maple Leafs
Sabres goon John Scott is proving to be a massive thorn in the Toronto Maple Leafs' side this season.
First, Scott tried to fight Phil Kessel in a preseason game, prompting David Clarkson to leave the bench and incur a 10-game suspension to start his Maple Leafs tenure. On Friday, Scott scored against Toronto for his first goal in 164 games.
The goal - a one-timed snap shot from the slot - prompted plenty of ribbing on Twitter, including this gem from the Buffalo Sabres official account:

After the game (which ended in a 4-3 shootout victory for the Maple Leafs), Scott acknowledged interesting things happen when he plays in Toronto.
