Typos understandable....

...since the book was originally written in French and translated to English. The rest of the book is pretty dead-on accurate, if a bit homer-ish on the part of the writer (the chapters on Richard, Beliveau, and Lafleur give us an inside look at three of the greatest players not only in Canadiens history, but the NHL's). I re-read part of it yesterday after hearing of Rocket Richard's death, and it really is a nice tribute to the history of Les Habitants, if you can find a copy. Only complaint: the author's ending, a dream of the old Forum ghosts talking to him? Just a wee bit hokey...
