   1983 Ken Dryden's "The Game" 1st Edition Hardcover Book   
      
      
   I have for sale the out-of-print 1st edition hardcover book "The Game" (A   
   reflective and thought-provoking look at a life in hockey) by Montreal   
   Canadiens' goaltender Ken Dryden (1983). This 284 page hardcover edition   
   contains 248 pages of text profiling the playing days of Ken Dryden,   
   with the Montreal Canadiens as well as his "Team Canada" performances.   
   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   "A Philadelphia journalist who interviewed Ken Dryden was surprised by his   
   articulateness and his intelligence, and by how "different" he was. "How do   
   you relate to these guys?" he wispered, reffering to Dryden's Montreal   
   teammates. Answering that question is in this book Ken Dryden writes: "I   
   may seem different, as others may seem different from me. But together we   
   have a common passion. It has taken much of our time, and most of our   
   energy. It has shaped us. All of that we share. The rest are details." The   
   Game is a very different book from the usual hockey book... It does not   
   contain surefire tips for the young player. What it does contain is a   
   waelth of fasinating information about what life inside top-flight hockey   
   is really like, as seen through the eyes of an exceptionally perceptive and   
   thoughful observer."   
   The front jacket features a photo of Ken Dryden wearing his white, with red   
   and blue trim Montreal Canadiens uniform.   
   The Ken Dryden "The Game" 1st edition hardcover book is in MINT condition.   
   Price $25. US plus postage
