Download or read book My Last Fight written by Darren McCarty and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back on a memorable career, Darren McCarty recounts his time as one of the most visible and beloved members of the Detroit Red Wings as well as his personal struggles with addiction, finances, and women and his daily battles to overcome them. As a member of four Red Wings' Stanley Cup&–winning teams, McCarty played the role of enforcer from 1993 to 2004 and returning again in 2008 and 2009. His “Grind Line” with teammates Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby physically overmatched some of the best offensive lines in the NHL, but he was more than just a brawler: his 127 career goals included several of the highlight variety, including an inside-out move against Philadelphia in the clinching game of the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals. As colorful a character as any NHL player, he has arms adorned with tattoos, and he was the lead singer in the hard rock band Grinder during the offseason. Yet this autobiography details what may have endeared him most to his fans: the honest, open way he has dealt with his struggles in life off the ice. Whether dealing with substance abuse, bankruptcy, divorce, or the death of his father, Darren McCarty has always seemed to persevere.

No fewer than twenty players have or will eventually make it to the Hall of Fame; the best scorers were matched up against the best goalies; brilliant coaches could be found on both benches; and two of the league's smartest general managers ruthlessly tried to one-up each other at every NHL trade deadline. Blood Feud is a rollicking story of a fierce, and often violent, rivalry.

Download or read book Yzerman written by Douglas Hunter and published by Seal Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve Yzerman is one of the most admired hockey players in one of the sport’s most exciting eras. This is the story of his metamorphosis from Ontario Hockey League sniper to the ultimate NHLer. Stevie Y went fourth overall in the very strong 1983 draft, and has more than double the points of almost anyone else from that year, which includes luminaries like Cam Neely, Sylvain Turgeon, and Pat LaFontaine. He’s one of only three players in NHL history to reach 155 points in a season; Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux are pretty elite company. Only eight players have reached 1000 points in fewer games. And yet for years Yzerman was seen as something of an underachiever. Amazingly, he was overlooked for the ’87 and ’91 Canada Cup squads. Although he was handed the Wings’ captaincy in 1986 when he was only 21, Detroit fans wondered when he would reverse the team’s fortunes. When the Red Wings were bumped from the early rounds of the playoffs in the early ’90s, and were swept in the ’95 final, many fingers pointed at the captain. But a Stanley Cup victory in ’97 elevated Yzerman to greatness. Like Gretzky, Lemieux, and Messier, the centres who had eclipsed him for roster spots on Team Canada, Yzerman proved he was a winner. He proved it again the next season, when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs’ most valuable player, and yet again in 2002 (when many thought he should have won his second Conn Smythe). He was also pivotal in Team Canada’s first Olympic gold medal win since 1956. He is now in his 21st season with the Red Wings, the longest-serving captain in NHL history. He is one of the league’s highest scorers, and has been called the all-time greatest two-way player, as his Selke Trophy attests. He is also a gritty, inspiring example, as his Masterton Trophy suggests. Though the Red Wings were bounced in the first round of the ’02-’03 playoffs, Yzerman’s leadership and resolve shone though. Douglas Hunter’s Yzerman brings the Wings’ captain to life. Skilled, fearless, indomitable, and affable, Steve Yzerman is perhaps the most-loved and most respected player in the NHL today. If you love hockey, you can’t help loving Steve Yzerman. From the Hardcover edition.
