Amazon.com Review

Lord Stanley's Cup may well be the most venerable trophy in sports, with over 100 years of history engraved on its ever-growing bulk. Total Stanley Cup celebrates that history and the men who made it. Essays on Lord Stanley, the early days of hockey and the founding of the NHL, and the strange things that have happened to "the mug" are accompanied by 16 pages of photos showing the changing shape of the Cup and famous moments in playoff history. This is no mere history book, however. Total Stanley Cup includes all the stats a hockey fan could want: year by year playoff scores, summaries of each final series game, highlights and playoff records arranged team by team, and full rosters of each Cup-winning team. An excellent resource to have on your side when debating the pressing issues--what was the first American team to win the cup, and when? (Seattle Metropolitans, 1917.) Which team scored the most short-handed goals in one series? (New York Rangers, 1933.) Who scored the most career goals in the finals? (Maurice Richard, 34 goals.) --M. Stein

1.0 out of 5 stars Book needs proofreading, May 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Total Stanley Cup: Official Publication of the National Hockey League (Paperback)

This books lists Toronto defeating Montreal in the 1966 Stanley Cup playoffs, 4 games to 2. That must have happened on another planet because Montreal won the series, not Toronto. And it was 4 games to none. I haven't had time to check the rest of the book, but you would think that the author would have double-checked the data and proofread it. This was not a misspelling or transposed digits. I wonder what other errors were overlooked. If you want to be called "The Official Encyclopedia of the Stanley Cup," you have to live up to the name. Let the buyer beware!

On page 43 of this book, it states that Toronto won the Stanley Cup by defeating Montreal to win the best-of-seven series, 4-2. In reality, Montreal defeated Toronto, 4-0. Before you post a review criticizing another reviewer, make sure you get your facts straight.
