5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest words ever written on paper!, 19 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This book is amazing. I would have given it more stars but i'm only limited to 5. The things that are in here i never knew were known. The history of the NHL and the years before it and all the things going on in the backround really interested my. Great book. GO LEAFS GO!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review Phil. Flyers, Bob Kelly, 12 Jun 1999

By A Customer

While reviewing total hockey book, there was noticed that the stats on Bob (Battleship) Kelly and Bob (Houndog) Kelly should be reversed. Houndog never played with the Flyers, and Battleship never played for the Penguins.
