There's this famous story about Scotty Bowman when he was coaching the Blues. Team was on the road and back then they had a curfew where players had to be in their rooms by a certain time. Anyhow these 2 Blues players decided screw that, time for a few late night beers. So they sneak out the back door of the hotel, down the stairs and into the pub next door. They're laughing and drinking their beers when in walks Scotty Bowman who glances over at the 2 players but says nothing. Walks over to the bar keep and orders a draft. He proceeds to the jukebox inserts a quarter, picks a song and sits down to drink his beer and read the newspaper. The song that came up was a Wilber Harrison song - "Kansas City Here I Come." The Blues by coincidence also had a farm team in Kansas City. The next morning at practice the 2 said players were sent down to the farm
