On the Wings

Scotty Bowman will do what 1.5+ million people could not get him to do last summer: coach another hockey game. He will return to the bench to coach the Habs’ alumni team in the exhibition game against the Oilers’ Old-Timers on Novemeber 22 before the real Habs and Oilers play in their regular season game at Commonwealth Stadium. Also returning for that game will be Wayne Gretzky, who will obviously play for the Oilers alumni. Bowman won 5 Cups with the Canadians in the ’70s before he went to the Sabres, the Pens and finally to Detroit.
