His outstanding athletic achievements, his inspirational battles against not one but two career-threatening health traumas and his intense rivalry with Wayne Gretzky are all revealed in this engrossing biography which balances the myth and the man. Mario is the behind-the-scenes story of a player Hockey Poll 1994 voted the greatest in the league, a solitary genius the likes of which are rarely encounter.

Clunky ass writing and only details up until 1991. Still had a good time learning about Le Magnifique.
