There are certain advantages to having a 6-foot-8 hockey player on your team. He can stand in front of an opposing goaltender, carry an illegal stick, cause problems, etc.

Though, what John Scott did Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden proved all of his worth to the team.

After losing their ball while playing keep up in warmups, Scott used all of his reach to retrieve it.

Put down the broom, Joe Thornton, Scott is the real MVP (of keep up issues.)
