Nov. 24: Bowman coaches 2,000th NHL game

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: Nov. 24
2000: Scotty Bowman coaches his 2,000th regular-season NHL game. As is the case in most of the first 1,999, he comes out a winner.

Sergei Fedorov
scores his second goal of the game
with 28 seconds remaining in the third period
to give Bowman and the Detroit Red Wings a
3-2 victory
against the Vancouver Canucks at Joe Louis Arena.
Bowman's milestone is announced in the first period and he receives a two-minute standing ovation. But he downplays the achievement, noting that "I knew it was going to happen sometime this year."
He finishes his coaching career with the Red Wings in 2002 and still holds NHL regular-season records for games coached (2,141) and victories (1,244).
