It's been almost six years since two of hockey's legends in Phil Kessel and John Scott came together for one of the most comical interactions in the history of the game.

It was September of 2013 wherein a pre-season game between the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs, two worlds collided on the ice.

On one side you had 6'9' behemoth John Scott, one of the most feared enforcers in the league.

Looking up at the giant was Phil "The Thrill" Kessel, who, like Scott, makes a living with his hands, except for that fact that he's a sniper with buttery-soft dangles and never actually engages in any shenanigans.

A cool eight inches and 60 pounds stood between them at the then Air Canada Centre back in September 2013. Following a mix up at centre between Scott's teammate Corey Tropp and Leafs tough guy Jamie Devane in which Tropp took a beating, Scott was furious and wanted revenge.

Scott explains that he went up to then Leafs coach Randy Carlyle and warned him that he'd beat up whomever he sent out on the ice next. Carlyle tried to defuse the situation by sending out his top line to which Scott had a little fun with.

“Before the puck drops, Phil (Kessel) lines up beside me and I respect Phil,” said Scott, who last suited up for an NHL game in 2016. “He’s a great player. Like, I know that he’s not a fighter. So, I said, ‘Phil, I’m gonna jump ya. Heads up.’

And he goes, ‘what?’ And then, the puck drops and I throw my mitts and I try to grab him and he takes a step back and just starts hacking me...”

Shortly after the famous stick-swinging antics of Kessel, as massive line brawl broke out, which resulted in David Clarkson jumping off the bench to join and being suspended ten games. Ryan Miller and Jonathan Bernier got into a goalie fight, the QEW Rivalry had another chapter added to it, while being ignited once again. A total of 239 penalty minutes were handed out, as the Leafs went on to win 5-3. Kessel, who notched two goals in the actual hockey game portion of it all, was slapped with a suspension of the remainder of the pre-season. 

This was before Scott's softer side came out when he was named MVP of the 2016 NHL All-Star Game.

John Scott, you're a true legend for sharing this piece of history and taking us all backdown memory lane.
