I’ve read this book about 4-5 times and living in central NJ, I learned that Barry Meisel Actually lived within 15 miles of me. So I did what a kid in the 90s would do. I found him in the phone book and called him up to tell him I loved the book.
Personal anecdotes aside; this is a must read for any ranger fan. So much great behind the scenes stuff, too many to name but the image of zubov chain smoking in his apartment, terrified of Keenan lives in my head forever. The book does a masterful job of building up from 1991 to 1994 and then expanding into the 95 season. I can’t reccomend it enough.

I stole it from my 7th grade language arts teacher. I still have it and read it last year. It’s a fantastic book and I’m grateful that 13 year old me was a shit head.
Anyway, if you were a middle school language arts teacher in Morris county and your copy got stolen, I’m sorry and I’ll buy you a new copy. I forget the teacher’s name though.
