The winningest coach in NHL history, Scotty Bowman left a lasting legacy in Montreal that extends beyond the five Stanley Cup banners he helped raise to the rafters during his eight-year career behind the Canadiens bench. His 419 wins with the Habs rank him third all-time in franchise history, and his nine career Cups as an NHL head coach with the Canadiens (1973,1976,1977,1978,1979), Penguins (1992) and Red Wings (1997,1998,2002) stand as a league record unlikely to ever be matched. Now a senior advisor of hockey operations where his son, Stan, is currently the general manager, Bowman hasn’t lost his Midas touch when it comes to building successful teams.
