Scotty Bowman trying to keep low profile

CHICAGO (AP)—Scotty Bowman’s imprint on the Detroit Red Wings stretches back 15 years. It includes three Stanley Cup titles during nine seasons as coach and a stint as a consultant that was capped by another championship a year ago.

Bowman left the franchise he helped shape to join the Chicago Blackhawks as an adviser and be with his son. Stan Bowman, in his eighth season as Chicago’s assistant general manager, is in remission after battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma the last two years.

Scotty Bowman said being close to his son has been a “top-notch” experience.

It’s also put him on the other side of one of the NHL’s oldest rivalries.

Bowman’s vast knowledge of all things hockey—the Hall of Famer has coached nine Stanley Cup winners and been a part of two others—could now help the young Blackhawks in the Western Conference finals against the Red Wings.

Bowman, however, isn’t giving unsolicited advice to coach Joel Quenneville.

“I know all their trends and stuff, but at the same time he’s got to run his own stuff,” Bowman said on Saturday before the Blackhawks left for Detroit, where Game 1 is Sunday.

“You can always get information. You have to process it. That’s basically what you have to do.”

But Quenneville made it clear that Bowman’s presence has been a bonus as Chicago heads into its first conference final since 1995.

“He’s been good to have around the first two rounds, too,” Quenneville said Saturday. “… He’s good and a lot more familiar with these guys than other teams, as well. He’s going to be useful in a lot of ways.”

This season has seen the league’s youngest team emerge as a force again after missing the playoffs for most of the last decade.

“I’m surprised, but at the same time the experience they are acquiring with each and every game and series is huge,” Bowman said. “I don’t see the team changing a lot. You have to add all the time, but this is a pretty young group.”

Bowman’s assessments are highly regarded and so are his observations

Detroit coach Mike Babcock knows that Bowman can be a huge asset in preparations.

“Scotty is a book of knowledge,” Babcock said on Saturday. “No. 1, he’s got to be willing to share with you. No. 2, you got to want it.”

Red Wings veteran Chris Chelios(notes) spent nine years with the Blackhawks and credited his old team for bringing Bowman aboard.

“Scotty knows everything,” he said. “It was just another good move Chicago made, acquiring him.”

Bowman said he’s tried to keep out of the way this season. And when he returns to Detroit, he’s going to stay under the radar if possible, despite all his old acquaintances.

“I’m going to stay low,” he said. “I’m not going to hang out. I’m not on a goodwill tour or anything like that. I’ll see them after and maybe before (games), but not during.”

That was awful for the Pens. I would have like to see them keep Fluery in the game. Now he's going to start game 6 with no confidence. I know the Pens won't roll over so easy because game 6 is going to be a real fight.

Why, so he could give up 5 more goals? They shoulda pulled him sooner.

[Rider]

I think that was more of the Wings getting the shots on goal rather than the goalie fucking up.

Other than games 3 and 4, Fleury has been terrible, IMO.

Do NOT speak ill of MAF! :nono:

[Rider]

Other than games 3 and 4, Fleury has been terrible, IMO.

The Wings have been shelling him. Their average shots on goal/game is one of the highest in the NHL. The more shots you take, the more goal you are going to make. Fluery is good goalie, but the Wings are the best team the Pens have seen all year. So giving up lots of goals is expected. What wasn't expected was the Wings completely shutting down Malkin and Crosby in game 5.

[marko138]

Do NOT speak ill of MAF! :nono:

Oh yeah like the Devils are Flyers are any better. They don't have as many cups combined as the Wings do. Now go pull your head out of your pathetic ass.

And the Wings are not the Yankees of Hockey. You are aware the the NHL has a salary cap? They they don't buy championships like the Skanks do.

Lol...Why is it that every argument goes back to how many championships each team has? You do realize that Its not the amount of Cups a team has that makes me base my opinion on them right? The Wings could win the cup for the rest of my existence that doesnt make them the better team...I simply dont like there style, nor do I like the town of Detroit.

Your a Fucking Idiot.

You should know better than Anyone Since you swing off the cocks of each team member of Detroit that its not always the best team that wins it all.

For hockey, Detroit is. The rest of the Detroit sports teams blow goats. Detroit is known for having the best playing surface in the league. Pittsburgh is known for having one of the worst. Reason being is the Wings have to money to properly maintain the arena floor. Why do they have the money? Fan support. Why do they have that fan support? Because they are a very good team year in year out. Can you remember the last time the Wings didn't make it to the playoffs?


Boston lost didn't they? They clearly were not the best team in the east. If they were they'd be in the finals. The team with the best regular season record is NOT the best team. I think Anaheim showed that when they beat San Jose in the first round.

[Sixxxxer]

You really are Fucking Stupid Arent you??

I'll agree with the Pens comment, One of the Biggest factors Last year when the Flyers played the Pens in the East Finals was ice conditions, That rink looks like Shit after the first five minutes of play and the puck jumps all over the fucking place.

And I never said Boston should have been there solely based on there record, There a better all around team than the Penguins...

And to answer your question.

2005

[CrazyKell]

Why do they have the money? Fan support. Why do they have that fan support? Because they are a very good team year in year out.


Okay seriously. You're nuts if you actually believe this.

Case in point...Toronto Maple Leafs. Terrible team that haven't won the cup since.....um....I think it's 62 (could be wrong but I'll check). They are the richest franchise in the league and have amazing support yet they suck. :idk:

The better team doesn't always win the game or series or championship. That's why there are these things in the sports world we like to call upsets. Winning the long drawn out regular season (assuming you have a decent schedule, not something like a college football fluff schedule, which really doesn't apply in pro sports) is more impressive than pulling to together a short winning streak in the playoffs.

Playoffs just gets the glory though.

I've seen the Flyers play... In Phoenix. Flyers won of course, but that 10 years ago when LeClaire was on the team. I have nothing against the Flyers as a matter of fact they are probably one of my favorite teams in the East.

Oh and Kell, Totorto is a Canadian team, you don't have to be good to get fan support in Canada. Shit look at any Canadian team, you can be dead last and the fans still come to the games. It's Canada, Beer, hockey and fighting, who cares who wins.

Trip, yeah the NHL schedule is not like the NFL schedule, if you have a bad year you don't get an easy schedule the next season. It's more of an East vs East and West vs. schedule with a few scattered inter-conference play games just like baseball does now.So it comes down to if one conference is better as a whole, the other conference has an easier schedule compared to the tougher conference. . I think both conferences were pretty equal this year.


This finals has been a very tough and competitive series with the home team usually getting breaks from the refs. It's equal from that stand point. And I agree with you Sixxer, that Boston should have been in the series. That's the match up I was looking for but they just ran short. It's playoff time, go big or stay home and staying home is what Boston did unfortunately.

Go Wings!

Americans are sheep. They follow the best teams year in year out. That's the Wings. If the Wings were shitty they'd only have a local fan base and the few Canadian stragglers that live close to Detroit.

It's funny, you mention these 2 teams. A friend of mine is Canadian ans so is his wife.Their both come from someplace about an hour north of Toronto. He is a die hard Wings fan, She is a die hard Leafs fan. It's a blast to watch them dig at each other about their teams especially when they are playing each other.

Hey it worked though. Kinda like Hasek going to detroit to get one, but i am not sure if he asked for a trade or just pissed off management so much.

Tom

I think in that case, he "retired" and then came out of retirement to join the Wings. I think that was the plan before he retired though.

He was still on the active roster with the sabres when he was traded. Aside from cash buffalo didnt get much in return and he went on and played a few more years. Granted he had a shitload more talent in front of him including 4 or 5 future hall of famers.

Hmm maybe he was just threatening retirement then. I do remember talks about retirement though.

it was something like that, I think his contract was almost up so they figured they would unload him for something. I see their management has continued the same trend in not being able to keep their players. I cant believe loosing 2 players took them from legit contenders for the cup to a non playoff team. They still have talent but zero leadership on that team now.

So they lost Hasek, Peca, and Satan(different years). That's a huge hit to your veteran roster. I don't follow them anymore, but they were never the same after those 3 left.

Satan was never much of a leader, loosing pecca hurt and 2 years ago loosing brierre and drurry killed them. That was about 80 goals a year they lost and the vetran leadership with both but mostly drurry.

Nice thing is neither of them are the same now. Drurry has done nada in NY and i doubt brierre will ever play a full season without getting hurt. Then they lost/traded jason campbell too.

They have a very good goalie with miller and some emerging talent with vanek, roy and pommenville, but thye need a couple of good vets to keep them in line. last year they kind abecame complacent after miller and vanek were out with injuries and it cost them a playoff spot.

Satan!

Satan!

I was bummed when he got traded because I wanted a jersey with satan on it even though its pronounced shatan.

Get moving.

[KwayZeeyT]

I will be watching for sure... and hoping like hell that the Wings make Crosby cry again this year. Though I'll be bouncing back and forth between this and the Hershey Bears/Manatoba Moose AHL game.

Go Bears!
Go Wings!

[marko138]

Yeah, I forgot they are actually airing that shit here. I might peek over and see what the Bears are doing.

They suck so bad they won the STanley Cup! Teehee! :rockwoot:

[Apoc]

That idiot Rider, who seems to know nothing more about hockey than the average 5 year old canadian kid, is noticeably absent after the wings got thrashed for 50 minutes and lost the cup (i will admit the wings played excellent hockey for 10 minutes at the end of the game)

good to see the pens win, they worked hard and deserved it.

They sucked bad enough to win game 7, didn't they. You = fail.


And Rider is on the road to FLA. And he'll be sporting a Pens avy for the next month.

I was out of town fuckhead. The Wings gave it away. The Pens were a much better team the last half of the series and they deserved the cup.

I applaud the Pens...They beat the wings fair and square. I am just sick of and very unimpressed with Sid and how the NHL crams him down the throat of fans as the next coming of Howe or Grtezky. The fact that he still lives with Mario is queerish and creepy.

[z06boy]

Congrats to the Pens...they swept the Canes so I was glad to see them go all the way although I had my doubts after the first two against the Wings.

The Wings really showed their age and going 7 games with Anaheim really killed them. Hopefully they call up some of the younger talent from the Griffins in the off season.

I think detroit wasnt too happy about the quick start to the finals and the scheduling of the games early on, sure that factored into it as well, couple days rest they may have been able to get some guys back and been more competitive later in the series.
