The best part of that Milbury story was Milbury trying to play the role of such a bigshot.
"After what I would guess to be 15 - 20 minutes, I the room went silent and I heard footsteps coming in form the adjoining room. Closer….closer..closer….and there he was. It was the GM of the New York Islanders himself, Mike Milbury. He had a presence about him..."
Like it was Vito Corleone coming into the meeting something. Oooh, it's Mike Milbury, Boss Of The 90's Islanders. It's a wonder he didn't trip and fall while they were listening to his dramatic approach.
Another good hockey bio is the Derek Sanderson book. He was a debauched lunatic even by 70's NHL standards. Unfortunately, the boozing, cocaine, philandering and Rolls Royce-buying stories are tempered with all the "Jesus Saved Me In The End" talk, but still, a good book.
