Kampf isn’t just a guy that works really hard. That was Highmore. He’s a solid defensive fourth liner. Arbitration eligible lol wut. He’s not getting anything. If he’s looking for too much absolutely, good luck bud go get yours if somebody’s soft in the brain. He’s lost in the offensive zone except for like five plays a year that make you go where the hell did that come from?
And Bowman is a noted Dick. He found Nik Lidstrom irritating because he was so perfect in his play and practice that he never got to yell at him.
Ken Dryden said this: “Scotty Bowman is not someone who is easy to like…. Abrupt, straightforward, without flair or charm, he seems cold and abrasive, sometimes obnoxious, controversial but never colorful. He is not Vince Lombardi, tough and gruff with a heart of gold. His players don't sit and tell hateful-affectionate stories about him…. He is complex, confusing, misunderstood, unclear in every way but one. He is a brilliant coach, the best of his time."
Steve Shutt: "You hated him 364 days of the year and on the 365th day you got your Stanley Cup ring.”
The man is the anti-Gretzky.
