A guide for sports fans on how to watch and appreciate the game of
hockey More and more fans are watching the NHL each week, but many
of them don’t know exactly what they should be watching. How does
an offense create shooting lanes for its best sniper? When a center
breaks through and splits between two defensemen, which defender is
to blame? Why does a goalie look like a Hall of Famer one week and
a candidate for the minor leagues the next? This guide for sports
fans on how to watch and appreciate the game of hockey takes you
inside a coach’s mind as he builds a roster or constructs a game
plan, to the chaos of the goalie’s crease, and deep into the
perpetual chess match between offense and defense. Discussing
topics such as what to look for when a team goes on the power play
and why playing center might be the most grueling job in sports,
Take Your Eye Off the Puck shows fans how to get the most out of
watching their favorite sport.
