Wait, so I'm to understand that the way Bowman got his foot in the door was by introducing a kindergarten style 1-5 grading system, and it was later that he discovered that this was stupid?
Was 2001 such a far off and distant time that I could have walked into an NHL head office and said, 'What if the coach rates the player subjectively on a scale that is so vague that it couldn't possibly mean anything at all? I'll tell you what, a spreadsheet. That's right, it's this knew thing developed by a fringe software company called makerosoft or something. Anyway, this is going to be neat!' This gets your foot in the door?
The more Bowman talks, the more I suspect that he had nothing to do with his stanley cup winning team. If it weren't for a goofed fax, that I'm now convinced was his doing, we would only hear his name in reference to his pops.
