Exactly. I wish this 'not a hockey guy' self effacing crap would go in the rubbish bin where it belongs. What did Scotty Bowman accomplish on the ice that made him arguably the greatest coach ever and successful advisor to his son?
I have shared the ice with players who have on ice accomplishments to rival Scotty, and many an NHLer, even Rocky Thompson, has accomplished more on the ice than Scotty. Just saying
