From Booklist
This book is a real treat for hockey fans: 100 of the game's greats remember the individual games that will forever stick in their minds. Here's Buffalo's Dave Andreychuk remembering the time he scored five goals in a single game in 1986. Here's Lorne Carr, of the New York Americans--remember them?--reminiscing about game three of the Stanley Cup Finals in 1938. Here are Denis Potvin and Ken Dryden and the Espositos and the Mahovliches and the Hulls and Darryl Sittler and Gump Worsley and Stan Mikita and Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion. Here are lesser-known lights, including Sid "Boot Nose" Abel (he played for Detroit in the 1940s and '50s) and Camille "The Eel" Henry (New York in the '50s and '60s). Complementing the stars' memories are superbly reproduced full-color photos and all the relevant game statistics. Wherever there are hockey fans, this will be a much-read, well-thumbed book.
