Readers of the "Tales From Locker Room/Bench/Ice" books know what to expect from the series. Short anecdotes taken from team history particular the part of the history best known to the author including personal glimpses of the players / management personnel, practical jokes, and behind-the-scenes looks.
Chico Resch and Mike Kerwick contribute a book that fits in well with the others. Enjoyable, a quick read, with a number of tales that I was unfamiliar with prior to reading the book. One I found most telling was that (now former) general manager kept a series of photos in his office of people with the Stanley Cup not players, but lower-level front office personnel who got the opportunity to join with the players in celebrating their accomplishment.
If you like the series, you'll be sure to want to read this one. If you're not a fan, either because you're unfamiliar with it or haven't enjoyed prior books give it a try. It's one of the better ones in the series.
RATING: 4 stars..
