So I'm heading to the beach in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to get my lineup of books set up... looking for some hockey-related material.
Just picked up "Net Worth" on Amazon for like 3 bucks, and "Tough Guy: My Life on the Edge" (about Bob Probert)
Anyone have some good suggestions? I'm not looking for Pens-specific at all, but just hockey in general.

I completely read the title of this thread wrong...
and here I thought this thread was going to be about Paulina Gretzky, Elisha Cuthbert, and Dustin Byfuglien...

How to become an NHL GM would be more useful.

The Game by Ken Dryden is very good, too.

I know this is a somewhat lazy response, but you certainly can't go wrong with most of this list (especially Sanderson's)

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the book about life in the locker room over the course of a full season. Road something something...
Very good too: The Hockey News' Century of Hockey and Top 100 NHL Players of all Time.

Guess the book I was thinking of is called On the Road, huh.
Not to be confused with Kerouac's even better book of the same name.

I thought you were thinking of Willam S. Burroughs' The Last Words of Dave Schultz.

Never even heard of that particular Burroughs novel, I must admit.
