Product Description
Rich, insightful, and highly engaging, Bruce Dowbiggin’s much-praised examination of the craft of hockey was hailed by critics as an enduring addition to the literature of sports.

What makes the best in the hockey business the best? By analyzing forward Steve Yzerman’s superb talent for leadership, defenseman Chris Chelio’s two-way brilliance, goaltender Dominik Hasek’s unrivalled ability to stop the puck, and hockey executive Glen Sather’s gift for construction, shaping, and inspiring a team, Dowbiggin not only illuminates hockey greatness, he also documents the subtle evolution in how the NHL game is played. ...

too many errors
The other reader only pointed out one major error in this book.I have only read ten pages in the Yzerman section and have identified four errors. Detroit is not located on the St.Clair River, New Jersey swept the Wings inthe finals the lockout season,obviously not the year they won 62 games,Yzerman did not lose the Calder Trophy to Steve Larmer, and Yzerman'soldest daughter is named Isabella.Perhaps the author should stick tobroadcasting and let people who know how to research or, at least findpeople who can research, do the writing.

Flawed but interesting
A flawed but interesting book. It attempts to be a hockey version of Peter King's "Inside the Helmet," but without King's insight. What will truly annoy fans of the game are the factual errors that any competenteditor would have caught. For example, Dowbiggin writes ofClintMalarchuk's life threatening injury, but has him playing for the WashingtonCapitals. I am being picky sure, but how do you write about a scene no one"will ever forget" and then get the team wrong?! Overall though,the book is a welcome change from the suck up bios and transcribedinterviews passed off as books about hockey. ... Read more

Excerpt: Daniel James Heatley (born January 21, 1981) is a German Canadian professional ice hockey winger currently playing for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Originally drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers second overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, he won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the top NHL rookie in 2002. However, after being involved in a car accident in the fall of 2003 that killed teammate and close friend Dan Snyder, he requested a trade and was subsequently dealt to the Ottawa Senators. One of the Senators' perennial leading scorers during his tenure with Ottawa, Heatley set franchise records for single-season goals (50) and points (105). He typically played left wing with linemates Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson. Alternately nicknamed the "CASH Line" (referring to Captain Alfredsson, Spezza, and Heatley), or "Pizza Line" (referring to a Pizza Pizza 'free sl...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=332657 ...

Chapters: Chris Chelios, Todd Marchant, Tom Barrasso, Jason Blake, Ryan Hollweg, Kevyn Adams, Tom Kurvers, Bates Battaglia, Aaron Broten, Guy Hebert, Jeff Brubaker, Marty Mcinnis, Rich Costello. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 61. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Chris Chelios (pronounced ; born Christos Kostas Tselios on January 25, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently in a two-way contract with the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL and the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. He is currently playing for the Wolves and is the oldest active player in the AHL. Chelios has also played for the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, and Detroit Red Wings. While he was called up from the AHL Wolves to play for the Thrashers during the 2009-2010 NHL season, Chelios was the oldest active player in the NHL, had played the most games of any active player in the NHL, was the last player from the 1981 NHL Entry Draft still active (or any draft from 1986 and earlier), and had the most career penalty minutes of any active player. When he was sent down to the AHL Wolves upon the conclusion of the regular season, Mark Recchi became the oldest active player in the NHL. On November 24, 2006, he played in his 1,496th NHL game, the most of any American-born player, passing the record total of Phil Housley. In the 200809 season, he appeared in the playoffs for an NHL record 24th time, having missed the playoffs only twice (199798 and 200910) in his entire career. Chelios is of Greek heritage. His cousin, Nikos Tselios, has also played professional hockey and is a former first round draft pick of the Carolina Hurricanes. Chelios was raised in Evergreen Park, Illinois and was a standout youth hockey player. He briefly attended Mount Carmel High School, but moved to S...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=664978 ...
