i never thought Scotty was a dirty player. in his early years, that guy could fight and check like no one else. i don't believe that fighting alone makes u a dirty player though. dirty to me are the cheap shot artists that punch people in the back of the head or whack them in the head w/ their sticks (Dino Cicarelli, Marty McSorley). scotty would just line someone up and crush them w/ hipchecks or any other legal checks. then again, i could be such a Stevens fan that i never noticed his abilitly to be a dirty player.
