RALEIGH, N.C. — Scotty Bowman is not easily impressed.
With a Hall of Fame career that has him at the top of the NHL’s list in wins with 1,244 and 14 Stanley Cup rings, nine as a coach and five as an executive, Bowman has earned the right to be discerning in evaluating what he sees on the ice.
But as Bowman has watched the Golden Knights’ amazing story unfold in their inaugural season, he has become a fan.
“I love the way they play,” Bowman said Thursday in Tampa, Florida, where he watched the Knights defeat the Lightning.
