The ultimate hockey insider shares the lowdown on the personalities, the dressing room banter, the chalktalk, and the sweat-stained passion behind eight of the most famous goals that changed ice hockey forever. Among them are Guy Lafleur's notorious "too many men on the ice" goal in 1979, Wayne Gretzky's overtime goal in Game Two of the Smythe Division finals in 1988, Paul Coffey's dramatic counterattack in the 1984 Canada Cup against the USSR and Brett Hull's disputed 1999 Stanley Cup winner. Al Strachan passes on, in the trenchant style of his famous columns, insights into the goals that reveal not only the way the game has changed but also about the gritty soul of hockey that will remains constant.

~ Excerpts of the letter from Liz to Josh ~ Hopefully, I can explain myself well enough to earn your forgiveness. My life got flipped upside down the week before I met you. I told you Daddy got mauled by a bear and that my cousin Damon and I became lost trying to save him, but that’s not exactly the truth. Perhaps one day I will explain, but now isn’t the right time. [...] My cousin Damon has disappeared. I have a good idea where he went, and he told everyone he’d be fine, but something in my heart tells me he’s in trouble. Not just Damon. I have a dreadful feeling that something bad is about to happen to me, as well. After praying my guts out, I finally received some guidance about what I need to do. I’m going after him. I don’t know why or how, but because of that still small voice, I’m sure it’s the right thing to do. I’m leaving early this morning, and I’m truly sorry I won’t see you before you go home. Thank you for serving the Lord. You’ve blessed my life in more ways than you know. You might be wondering why I’ve given you a rock ... well, I’m hoping you’ll find out soon why I felt you should have it. God placed us on the same dock at the same time, and I truly hope our paths cross again someday! Sincerely, Elizabeth Bracken
