Narration was horrendous, book was great

First, let me say that this is an excellent book. Any Canadiens fan would love it! Great details about the history of the team that go way beyond other books on the team. It’s a good thing I was such a fan of the subject matter. I was able to get past the terrible narration. The narrator sounds like he was more concerned with sounding good than conveying the words on the page. It was more about him than the book. His tone and delivery just said “Hey, look at me, I have a great voice.” Worst of all was his butchering of French Canadian last names. As a French Canadian myself, I found this insulting. He could mispronounce the same name three different ways sometimes, at times he would over pronounce them to the point of sounding ridiculous and sometimes even try to make names sound French when they weren’t (ie: Svaboda). He even mispronounced non-French names (ie: pronouncing Skrudland as Skruhd-land instead of Screwd-land as its supposed to be and Chelios as Chee-lee-ohs instead of the proper Chel-lee-ohs). I mean, these all seem like things that could have been cleared up by simply doing a little research or even just contacting the author (whose name was also mispronounced. Lefebvre is pronounced as Le-fayve.) Another simple solution: hire a French-Canadian.

wrong title on this book

mostly a history lesson on what went on in the management offices, not in the locker room. I was hoping for some good player stories but it's mostly about team managers

A Tale of Canadiens Management

More about team management than players. The only player stories were told from the management point of view. Still enjoyed it. But have to mention the atrocious pronunciation of the players names. It seemed like speaker went out of his way to mispronounce as many names as possible, even pronouncing a some multiple ways.

Terrible

This is a history of the team spending way too much time on trades and games plated. No "takes from the locker room ".

Narrator was horrendous, monotone and has obviously never seen a Habs game as even the easiest names were mangled! I will remember his name only to ensure I never buy another audio book he has anything to do with!
