Just finished reading "The Game" by Ken Dryden.

If you haven't read it, all my hockey friends, definitely run to the nearest book store and do so. It's a fantastic book, and a great insight ;D

Seriously run don't walk.

Can you list some specific things about the book that make it worthwhile to get? I've been toying with getting a hockey book and was going to get Patrick Roy's biography...but yeah...I'm curious as to why this book stuck with you.

First of all, I really enjoyed his style. At first it was sort of confusing, and he jumped around a lot, but once I figured it out, I really appreciated it

Oh one more thing... I think it's really neat to hear the things he remembers and the way he remembers games/goals/teams, because it's not really the way i'd imagine it to be so.

Thank you so much for the detailed note as to why you love this book. It really sounds like it's packed full of details and comparisons...the thinking man's take on the game, so to speak.

I really appreciate that you took the time to write all of this, since now, this will be on my to buy list.

I was also wondering, (since you seem to be quite versed in the hockey subject) if you have other books about hockey to recommend to a neophyte like me? All suggestions would be quite helpful. Thank you.
