In Larry Robinson's book, he had a funny story about Pete Mahovlich. The Habs were in Detroit for a game and Scotty Bowman set a curfew of 11 pm. Scotty is in the hotel lobby as Pete comes strolling in at a little past 1 am and Scotty says, "Okay Mahovlich, you're two hours late, that'll cost you $200". Pete reaches into his wallet, grabs two one hundred bills, hands them to Scotty, then goes back into his wallet and grabs another $400 and says to Scotty, "Here Scotty, this way you can get some sleep tomorrow night"
