Description

Who can forget -- or forgive -- the image that played out in headlines in sports pages and television screens across North America when NHL owners and the players union met in a desperate last-minute vote in their protracted labour negotiations: NHL Owners and Players Association Vote: Screw You! to Fans. "Money Players" is a bare-knuckles brawl of a book about the way the real game is played -- the game that goes on behind doors behind rich execs and greedy agents -- and even greedier players.
