In Thunder and Lightning, Phil Esposito, the center from the Soo who became one of the game's greatest players, reveals colorfully and hilariously what his life in hockey was really like.Espo has never been reluctant to speak his mind. At a party marking the end of his third season with the Chicago Blackhawks, Phil Esposito told coach Billy Reay and GM Tommy Ivan that they had a great team, maybe even a dynasty but that the two of them would screw it up. It was a classic Espo moment (and may have had something to do with his being traded to the Boston Bruins). In this rollicking hockey memoir, he reveals what it was like to play with other Hall of Famers like Howe and Hull and Orr. He recalls his acrimonious encounters with Allan Eagleson, the incredible intensity of the 1972 Canada-Russia series, the fabulous ride with the great Bruins teams of the early seventies, and the tough years that followed with the New York Rangers. From being a player, Esposito went on to be a commentator, a coach, a general manager, and then founder and part owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He saw it all: the booze, the drugs, the women, the wheeling and dealing, the good times and the camaraderie, the bad times and the backstabbing. In telling what it was really like, Esposito takes readers into the boardrooms, back rooms - and even the bedrooms - of the men who make their lives in the NHL.
