His former players laid bare just how strange it could be to have Scotty Bowman as their coach, for a good cause.
Bowman, who won three of his 14 Stanley Cups as coach of the Detroit Red Wings from 1993-2002, was the target of the second annual Jamie Daniels Foundation celebrity roast. Wednesday's show, held virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic, benefited the foundation, which focuses on substance-use prevention and education, and on combating the stigma that can be attached to addiction disorders. The fundraiser includes an auction, which is open for bids until noon Thursday.
