 |
William Scott “Scotty” Bowman (born September 18, 1933 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a former National Hockey League head coach. He is the winningest coach in league history, with 1244 wins in the regular season and 223 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He has coached the St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Detroit Red Wings. As head coach, Bowman has won a record nine Stanley Cups with the Canadiens (1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979), Penguins (1992) and Red Wings (1997, 1998, and 2002). He was also part of the 1991 Penguins Stanley Cup winning team as director of player development. He won the Jack Adams Award in 1977 and 1996. In the 1976-77 season he won a record 60 games and broke his own record with 62 wins in 1995-96. No other head coach in the history of the NHL, Major League Baseball, the National Football League, or the National Basketball Association has won championships with three different teams.
Mario is a fucking hassar
no screw scotty bowman… he had no sense of off ice respect for other teams/players… who cusses out a player off ice while the player is walking with his wife and holds his baby… and the player didnt even retaliate other then say “why dont you save it for the ice” it’s the unwritten rule of hocky… you treat players with respect off ice
smartest and the best coach ever. no argument ever.
i mean duh.
In fight I think Pat Burns would beat Scotty Bowman
What does Bowman say when he’s asked if he will come back?
Isn’t he also like an uncle for every Red Wings fan all over the world?
The greatest coach ever. Scotty Bowman knows hockey better than any other coach in history. Cheers!
He is my Uncle
most amazing coach ever.
Scotty Bowman was, is, and always will be a genuis.
Bowman never played the precentages, he always played his intuition…the signature of genuis when successful.
My uncle in Buffalo is good friends with him, so he took me to meet him at his house.
How did u meet him? I meet him at Hockeytown Cafe in the D.
And now we need him back. Badly.
thank God montreal snubbed scotty, he brought us 3 cups, detroit needed him ,
a truly magnificient coach and person, thank you scotty!!
I met Scotty Bowman last week. A real gentleman.
I feel ya on that JoeAsch,the Blues as well should have kept this guy.
The biggest mistake that the Canadiens ever made was to let Bowman leave. He wanted to be GM, but the Habs chose…. Irving Grundman. Montreal has never been the same since then.
best coach of all time, in any sport
