The Hockey Database (www.hockeydb.com) is great, but there aren't blurbs about any of the players. I'm interested in seeing this book sometime. The only thing that concerns me is that I don't know whether they'd do a new edition every year. How much does the book cost?

What? About Zalapski? When I played NHL 98 on my PC, I loved playing against the Flames just to hear Jim Hughson say "Zalapski."

(Wow, I think that was my first ping...)

Looks like a cool book. I'll have to add it to my list.

Does it delve into the mystery of why, until a few years ago, there were no goalies with last names that started with the letter "N"? It's true. My most useless piece of hockey trivia is that Evgeny Nabakov was the first N-goalie in the NHL's 80+ year history to win a playoff game.
