Bowman, a native of Verdun, Quebec, quit junior hockey in the Montreal system having never fully recovered from a fractured skull suffered in 1952. He soon became a coaching prodigy by 24 upon winning the Memorial Cup with the Ottawa Junior Canadiens as a protégé of Montreal’s legendary coach Toe Blake before becoming head coach of the NHL’s newly established St. Louis Blues in 1967 at 34.Montreal Canadiens
“The guy can’t control himself,” Blues center Brayden Schenn said. “In the playoffs, he’s a repeat offender. Bad hits, greasy hits — he had a guy in a vulnerable position and he picked nothing but the head.”

I don't like either side enough to choose a winner in this matchup; both teams know each other too well. Hellebuyck is one of the handful of goalies in the NHL who can take over a game, but the defense in front of him leaves a lot to be desired. Expect the Oilers to come out firing early and often tonight, especially McDavid. And due to the Jets' inspired play away from their home ice, I see value in the total.
Some we know won't likely be going anywhere, such as Ovechkin and Landeskog. But there is a lot of potential shuffling that will take place above and beyond the expansion draft.
