Canucks, Red Wings, Habs, Etc.
Hockey Hall of Famer Scotty Bowman, winner of nine Stanley Cups as a head coach in the NHL and five more as an executive, sat down and chatted with Rob Simpson about the upcoming 4 Nations Faceoff Final.
He also talked about teammate rivalries. Was his time with Hockey Hall of Fame centres Steve Yzerman and Sergei Fedorov in Detroit anything like Rick Tocchet’s time with Canucks J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson? The answer might surprise you.
What did Wayne Gretzky have to say about Fedorov?
Scotty, who’s crossed paths with ‘Simmer’ at a number of events and penned one of the forewords for Simpson’s first book, also shares a number of cool coaching stories about how he handled players and how he handled practice.
And, the one simple bad habit and lack of effort that absolutely drove him crazy.
The coach also has quite a bit to say about Abbotsford native and current Colorado Avalanche and Team Canada defenceman Devon Toews.
Bowman is hockey history personified. The video below … Enjoy!!
