Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Renowned sportswriter Stephen Brunt reveals how âthe Great One,â who was bought and sold more than once, decided that the comfortable Canadian city where hockey ruled couldnât compete with the slushy ice of a California franchise.
Bobby Orrâs career ended prematurely, with tears. Wayne Gretzkyâs tears, unlike Orrâs, announced not an ending but another beginning. Gretzkyâs Edmonton Oilers had four Stanley Cup victories, but Gretzky may then have had other goals in mind.
Beginning with his dad, Walter, and continuing with Nelson Skalbania, Peter Pocklington, Bruce McNall, Jerry Buss â and with the CBCâs Peter Gzowski as chronicler for the eager masses â the enormity of Gretzkyâs talent attracted all sorts of people who were after a variety of vicarious thrills.
