All-Star balloting has begun. While there are six Blackhawks (Duncan Keith, Marian Hossa, Brent Seabrook, Jonathan Toews and Patricks Kane and Sharp) on the ballot, there is one glaring omission.

No, not Corey Crawford.

It's John Scott.

I'll give the NHL the benefit of the doubt, and say they couldn't decide to put him on the ballot as a forward or defenseman. I'm sure those of you who have John Scott on youe fantasy team have the same problem.

But we're asking you to write him in as a defenseman.

Why, you ask?

• John Scott could administer the first All-Star game pummeling ever.
• John Scott could be the first healthy scratch in the history of the All-Star game
• John Scott could participate in the skills competition, so we can finally find out which one he has.
• John Scott could glower at the captains during the team draft, as one captain finally drafts him out of sheer terror, while he goes and does the old "why are you hitting yourself?" thing to the other captain.

So go ahead and vote early, vote often. You get 30 votes per email account, and you can text "Scott" to 81812. Get on that.

As for the Murdersaurus, book your flight to Ottawa, big guy.
