He actually wrote a pretty decent book, just one that's not as much to my taste as it could have been. So now we have two candidates.Dryden doesn't explicitly tell us the final score, but he tells us Montreal won. So I'm not saying that when you find a Don Cherry, you should immediately become a mindless follower. Ken Dryden and The Game Key Dryden was the goalie of the Montreal Canadiens for most of the 1970s. I was disappointed. Dryden produces this huge fog of articulateness that overwhelms you with feeling and the sense that something important has just been said, but ... there's not much there when you actually look.I can't resist one more example. So it could be either of Montreal's two games on Long Island: February 27, by a 7-3 score, or October 17, by 3-1. Traffic is light today, and the few cars on the road move easily, unconcerned by the conditions. Those two teams didn't play each other on April 4. Detroit beat Montreal 1-0 in the last game, and the playoffs match Dryden's recollection.So, six out of seven cases don't check out. Perhaps instead of using an actual ten days out of the season, Dryden pieced together a composite. After the awkward caution of a winter's first snowfall, for Montreal drivers, like riding a bike, it all comes back, and slippery streets are driven as if bare and dry. How he interacted with the other players.
He may be wrong about some of the things he believes, like Joe Morgan or Harold Reynolds, or any other commentator in any other sport. The book has lots to say about Toronto, where Dryden grew up. The book says it was 1-0 after the first period, 2-1 after the second, and, with five minutes left in the game, Guy Lapointe scored on a shot off Mario Tremblay's right knee to make it 3-1. For some readers, it lets them signal to the world that *this* is the hockey they like, that they watch every Saturday night and talk about at the water cooler, the hockey that's deep and sociological and high-class. That's as close as I could find.As for Minnesota, the Habs played them four times that year, winning three. The home-and-home timeline pins it down to the game of April 4 (the return game in Detroit would have been April 8). "I love it when I see one guy who's have trouble getting the strap loose on his helmet, and the other guy gives him time while he gets it off.
... That's honour!
Shortlisted for the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction A Globe and Mail Best Book From the bestselling author and Hall of Famer Ken Dryden, this is the story of NHLer Steve Montador—who was diagnosed with CTE after his death in 2015—the remarkable evolution of hockey itself, and a passionate prescriptive to counter its greatest risk in the future: head injuries.
That doesn't work out. There *is* a game that fits in the *following* season, February 10, 1980. Why? That might actually make sense. The former hockey star and scholar focuses on ten days near the It wasn't changed until 1982 -- after Dryden's retirement, but before his book was published. And, for all the analysis and introspection, you won't even feel like you know much abour Dryden, which is weird, because he writes a lot about himself: how he feels, and when he's more confident in net, and how he reacts to winning and losing, and his thoughts on retirement. It was a game in Buffalo, where the Habs won and Dryden played well. But the tone is a bit dramatic. Perhaps he saw the new clock in 1982, before the book was published, and thought he also saw it back in 1979.Reading the book made me think of how different Dryden is from Don Cherry.Cherry, in one five-minute episode of Coach's Corner, will say more of substance than Dryden says in ten pages. According to the game log, Montreal won the April 4 game by a score of 4-1.But that can't be it. What would mitigate the tone, a bit, is if Dryden would talk more concretely about hockey.
A Canadiens winger partially deflected it, which led to the Canadiens defender thinking he could intercept it and leaving his man in front of the net. After tying the game, Dryden writes, the Leafs get confident that they can keep up with the powerhouse Canadiens, and the Leafs begin to take over the play. It detaches the reader from the world of uneducated jocks, allowing them to identify and affiliate with someone they look up to. It becomes a little weird because Dryden writes like he's not even there, like he's a psychiatrist floating above the dressing room taking notes.I guess that's his thing. It's not just occasionally that the book is off, but almost all the way through.
