Cup tourney. While thrashing around the ice, swiping at the puck and his  opponents, Bidini got to thinking about how others see the game. Afterward, he set  off to talk to former professional players about their experiences of hockey. The  result is vintage Bidini—an exuberant, evocative, highly personal, and vividly  coloured account of his and his team’s exploits, interwoven with the voices of such  hockey heroes as Frank Mahovlich, Yvan Cournoyer, John Brophy, Steve Larmer, and  Ryan Walter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e All aspects of the game are up for grabs in \u003ci\u003eThe Best Game You Can Name\u003c\/i\u003e—the sweetest goals, the worst fights, the trades, the off-ice perks and the on-ice  rivalries, not to mention the rotten pranks. Bidini and the former players offer  sometimes startling observations about the fans, coaches, owners, other players,  and the huge rush of being on the ice, stick in hand, giving everything you have  to the best game you can name.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44210394497279,"sku":"9780771014604","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780771014604_s600x595.jpg?v=1782151533","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780771014604","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
