review 1: At times hysterical, the thing I like most about this compendium of Sean McIndoe's hockey humour blogs is that you really, REALLY need to be hockey fan to fully enjoy the numerous small jokes that prop up the main thrusts of the articles. Being also of a similar vintage as the author, many of the touchstones that clearly stand out in his hockey-fan consciousness are the same as mine and he reaps those events relentlessly and mercilessly. Only drawbacks are sometimes the jokes get a little too cutesy and since he is a Leafs fan we can launch the accusation of some east-coast bias here but overall almost every page merits a chuckle. Or, as a Canucks fan, a wince.
review 2: If I told you there was a book combining hockey and comedy, you'd think of Gary Bettema... moren's autobiography. However, instead of a tome about the NHL commissioner, we get this delightful romp from the creator of the "Down Goes Brown" blog, Sean McIndoe.Each chapter is a slap shot to the funny bone as every page is a laugh riot for everyone who enjoys the fastest game on ice. If you're a novice to the game or an aging veteran, this book entertains the reader from cover-to-cover. I highly recommend it. less
