Scotty, ahem, wouldn’t sign

I guess it should come as no surprise, but the esteemed Scotty Bowman yet again did not honor requests for autographs.

I guess we’ll have to keep on holding these Scotty Bowman Autograph nights until he relents or the season ends, whatever comes first. The next one is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 9, 2007. Remember, he's in the press box, right behind Section 314 of the St. Pete Times Forum.

I'm also wondering why he's at the Lightning's home games. Is he acting as a consultant to the team or is he compiling mental notes should be become Tampa Bay's next general manager and/or coach.
