Bowman named Senior Advisor to Blackhawks

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

Well... at least this should open up some salary cap funds.... err....

That looks just... weird. Then again he might look odd in a Wings jersey too, it's as if he's just been drafted.

As a 13-year old. That jersey must be like a 56 or something.

It's just... Scotty... in a Blackhawks jersey. It's kind of like seeing your grandma in a bikini. Or at least my grandma. Yours may look just fine, but for me it's just wrong. Or your grandpa. It just doesn't ring true.

And, yes, I'm a Robert Lang fan. As long as he's not in a bikini.

I haven't eaten breakfast yet but you just made me lose my appetite. Thanks.

Best draft selection they ever made, just a little too late.

Good luck to scotty over there. I am just glad he isn't the head coach!

Thanks Scotty, but did you have to throw on a Hawks jersey to just completely piss me off? Crap this guy knows our system in and out and with the team the Hawks have now, the Central is gonna be ruff this year.

Scotty has too much loyalty and respect to the Red Wings organization to go to the Hawks and give away all of the Red Wings secrets, that's not how it works. That's not to say he won't give advice based on some of his knowledge as it pertains to the situation but being giving info like he was a spy won't happen. The fact of the matter is if the Red Wings and Mr. I thought it would be a huge detriment or would put the Wings behind the 8-ball, they wouldn't have let Scotty go, sort've like how the Wings won't let Jimmy D or Jimmy Nill go. Bowman will help the Hawks for sure, but thinking that he'll hand over a How to beat the Red Wings file while considering he'll probably be there for only 3 years is overreacting a bit.

I wonder if he will be able to help put people in the stands that are not Red Wing fans in the so called great balanced economy of Chicago.

Either way the majority of Blackhawk fans are bandwagon fans. They would have sold out or come close in the past years.

It looks like you say bandwagon like it is a bad thing. Sorry if I am misinterpreting. You can probably find plenty of Red Wings fans who are bandwagoners as well jumping on the train while the team is good but didn't watch when they were the Dead Wings.

I really didn't start watching hockey in a serious manner until the mid-90s a season before Detroit won it's first Stanley Cup in 42 years. The Red Wings eventually grew on me. Does tha make me a bandwagoner? Is that a bad thing?

Never can have too many people on the bandwagon.

The Redwings were a great team when he got here in 1993, thanks to Jimmy D and Jimmy Nill, and will remain a good team following his departure. I have no hard feelings toward the guy and appreciate all the good he did for this organization. I hope the Blackhawks continue to get better as it may not only be better for the NHL but also for the our Wings!!
