Bowman is quite the stark contrast from Blake though, the latter was known as a player's coach, very much loved and respected by all his players, almost considered "one of the guys." I imagine it's because he happened to have Richard and Beliveau, around whom the rest of the team coalesced, making it easier to coach. Bowman never had such a leader of that stature on the ice, plus his game plan always changes, making him a bit of a feared character.
Good post, but gotta disagree with your contention about player leadership. 2 reasons would be Cournoyer and especially Yzerman. This is assuming that I understood your post correctly. Cheers.
@@csmith1298 Cournoyer and Yzerman were leaders, but not on the same caliber as Beliveau. A good evidence of this is how their teams actually had multiple factions, which, left to themselves without a strong coach like Bowman, would have led to locker room division and not playing as a team. Bowman, like Herb Brooks, deliberately provoked and antagonized them into uniting against him.
Beliveau, much like Gretzky, was another level. They were the kind of guys whom even opponents can't help respecting, never mind locker room factions. They make any coach's job easy.
He had one of the greatest leaders and captains of all time for any sport in the form of Steve Yzerman!
@@broadstreet21 Factions?
@@v4v819 Like I said earlier, Yzerman is a great leader, but not on the same level as Beliveau or Richard. Besides, by the 90s, Bowman mellowed his style considerably - probably in part because he had Yzerman, whom he did clash with early on, pressuring him to be more of a two-way player.
Factions, you heard that right. Notwithstanding Yzerman's leadership, the Red Wings had a few natural factions, given the players' ethnic origins, a chunk from Russia, another chunk from Sweden, another from Canada. Bowman had to prevent these natural divisions from actually dividing the locker room. His 70s Habs had more personal factions, as there was no single locker room leader who could command the respect of the WHOLE team. Sure, they had Cournoyer, but they also had LaFleur and Robinson. It was too easy for all three of these guys (and others) to pull in their own respective direction, and rift the team. Yes, they were leaders, but not like Beliveau and Richard, and put all three on one team, rift. Even if they want to work together, they couldn't, not without a Bowman.
