A report saying Scotty Bowman, the legendary coach and now consultant to the Detroit Red Wings, is close to taking a job in the Blackhawks organization as the head of hockey operations was making the rounds Tuesday but appears to be unfounded. "As long as I'm healthy and there's no change in ownership in Detroit, there will be no change," Bowman told the Detroit Free Press. A Bowman-to-Chicago rumor isn't entirely off-base as the 74-year-old Hockey Hall of Famer has been seen at the United Center as a visitor and his son, Stan, is a Hawks assistant general manager.

So if he takes a grandchild to Disneyland, does it mean he's looking for a job with the Ducks?

PopKing, you are way off base...

The Tiger's are looking to develop him as a 5th starter. This is obvious, since he showed up at Comerica Park the other day...

I saw him at a Giants Game, so Coughlin better watch his back!

I can't see Scotty working under Bob Pulford.

No...but if he takes a Grand Child to a Ducks game it means he is looking for a job in Disneyland...

Bowman's not leaving Detroit. Why would he?

D Crusier---Bob Pulford was relocated within the Wirtz empire the day Rocky Wirtz took the keys to the candy store.That was right after Bill Wirtz passed away.

June 25, 2008  10:37 AM ET

Yeah, Hockey Bill, they gave him some position in the Wirtz Corporation where he's not involved in the day to day operations of the team. I remenber that. I just can't see Scotty and Pulford in the same town. No love loss between those two.

Bowman's not leaving Detroit. Why would he?

Because Bobby Hull said he'd come back and play left wing for him.

I smell what you're cooking D Crusier.........
