George Plimpton can take to the glaciers with the Boston Bruins in this memorable portrait of the rough-and-tumble world of professional hockey, registered and now featuring a foreword by Denis Leary. In Open up Net, George Plimpton can take to the glaciers as goalie for his beloved Boston Bruins. After signing a release having the Bruins blameless if he should meet with injury or death, he survives a harrowing, relatively eternal five minutes within an exhibition game resistant to the always-tough Philadelphia Flyers. With reflections on such hockey greats as Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, and Eddie Shore, Open up Net is at once a celebration of the thrills and grace of the best sport on glaciers and a probing deep breathing into the expectations and fears of every man.
