Scotty Bowman was getting his car repaired Friday morning, second-guessing his decision to return home to Buffalo, N.Y., after spending the winter in Florida.
“It’s been raining like hell here,” he said. “I probably should have stayed another week.”
Rain or not, it’s never a bad day to dial up the greatest coach in NHL history, winner of nine Stanley Cup titles (14 including his work in front offices), because you get little gems like his opinion on the current version of Sidney Crosby.
“He’s always been a great offensive player, but, right now, you analyze his faceoffs, his defensive work, he makes so many plays,” Bowman said.
