À propos de cet audio

Relive the greatest moments of Canadiens hockey with this one-of-a-kind collection!

When most sports fans hear the stat 3,000, they immediately turn to baseball. But for those fans whose breath comes out in frosty puffs, and who bleed ice and snow, 3,000 can only mean one thing - the glory of Montreal Canadiens hockey. The "Original One" of the "Original Six", the Montreal Canadiens hockey team is practically synonymous with superlative: The most Stanley Cup championship victories, with 24? The Montreal Canadiens. The highest number of regular-season wins? The Montreal Canadiens. The oldest active franchise in the NHL? The Montreal Canadiens.

Now the 100-plus years of Canadiens triumphs, tragedies, and times like no other are captured in Robert Lefebvre’s Tales from the Montreal Canadiens Locker Room. In this unique compendium, Lefebvre brings to life both the history and the anecdotes of this incredible franchise. Stories of Maurice "Rocket" Richard’s incredible skills on the ice are paired side by side with locker room yarns and off-the-ice tales of Jean Beliveau, Dickie Moore, Serge Savard, Guy Lapointe, Patrick Roy, and more. With humor, wit, and a lot of adrenaline, Robert Lefebvre has compiled a collection of Montreal Canadiens stories sure to please any hockey fan.

More about team management than players. The only player stories were told from the management point of view. Still enjoyed it. But have to mention the atrocious pronunciation of the players names. It seemed like speaker went out of his way to mispronounce as many names as possible, even pronouncing a some multiple ways.

mostly a history lesson on what went on in the management offices, not in the locker room. I was hoping for some good player stories but it's mostly about team managers

wrong title on this book

This is a history of the team spending way too much time on trades and games plated. No "takes from the locker room ".

Narrator was horrendous, monotone and has obviously never seen a Habs game as even the easiest names were mangled! I will remember his name only to ensure I never buy another audio book he has anything to do with!

Terrible

First, let me say that this is an excellent book. Any Canadiens fan would love it! Great details about the history of the team that go way beyond other books on the team. It’s a good thing I was such a fan of the subject matter. I was able to get past the terrible narration. The narrator sounds like he was more concerned with sounding good than conveying the words on the page. It was more about him than the book. His tone and delivery just said “Hey, look at me, I have a great voice.” Worst of all was his butchering of French Canadian last names. As a French Canadian myself, I found this insulting. He could mispronounce the same name three different ways sometimes, at times he would over pronounce them to the point of sounding ridiculous and sometimes even try to make names sound French when they weren’t (ie: Svaboda). He even mispronounced non-French names (ie: pronouncing Skrudland as Skruhd-land instead of Screwd-land as its supposed to be and Chelios as Chee-lee-ohs instead of the proper Chel-lee-ohs). I mean, these all seem like things that could have been cleared up by simply doing a little research or even just contacting the author (whose name was also mispronounced. Lefebvre is pronounced as Le-fayve.) Another simple solution: hire a French-Canadian.

Narration was horrendous, book was great

The content is not as described, this reads more like a summary of team history from a management perspective. Not much included that even casual fans wouldn't already know. Narration includes several mispronounced player names, Not recommended.

Very misleading title and description
