From the Chicago Daily Herald (possibly fictitious newspaper?): Bowman reveals Yoda-like wisdom on crashing the net
It was Bowman, while coaching in Detroit, who made Red Wings left wing Tomas Holmstrom the best in the game at screening goalies and causing havoc in front of the net. "That's why Holmstrom is so effective - he stands outside the line," Bowman said. "When I was in Detroit we had a lot of goals...
Still Over .500
I'm not going to say the Los Angeles Kings deserved the two points against the New York Rangers nor the Detroit Red Wings.
