Customer Reviews

Islanders fans: Here is proof Neil Smith is a phony turd.

All the reactionary whining when Neil Smith was fired after 40 days by the Islanders means that no "experts" in the media bothered to read or remember this book. Neil Smith is a whiny dork who watched as Mike Keenan underminded him at every opportunity. Read this book and be happy.

A great way to relive the 1993-1994 Stanley Cup Season

A worthy summary of the Rangers cup winning season and subsequent failure. Not quite a behind the scenes look at the team but lots of interesting antecdotes the average fan (like me) would otherwise miss. Great insight into Mike Keenan and why his tactics worked for the Rangers (until game 4 vs the Devils). Also gives insight into why they don't work now. I read it in two days and would recommend it.
