"Engaging" according to larry. Whether you're a Wild fan in particular or a hockey fan in general you'll find this book entertaining, educational, and possibly inspiring. Not just a dry, managerial accounting of the office aspect of the the greatest sport on earth but a truly engaging tale of the ins-and-outs, ups-and-downs of building and running a successful hockey franchise. It reads not as an instruction manual but as a truly entertaining narrative filled with anecdotes about the staff and players you know and love( or don't). Any hockey fa. Anthony said Five Stars. Great read. Good background on Wild history Bought the book after Russo wrote about it on his blog rant. Good background on Wild history. Helps to fill in some holes in the Gaborik negotiations, decision-making process with Dougie R., agent personalities, Lemaire's quirks, but could have used WAY MORE player gossip. Compared to other hockey books written by players, it contains virtually nothing on player behavior. Since he was office and the fans see the players, it needed more of player stories. Overall, worth buying it. Thanks for writing it Tom !
