United States Editorial Review
**** "The Game That Saved the NHL: The Broad Street Bullies, the Soviet Red Machine, and Super Series '76" by Ed Gruver offers a compelling glimpse into a pivotal moment in hockey history, capturing the intense rivalry between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Soviet Red Army's CSKA Moscow team during the 1976 Super Series. This well-researched narrative is enriched with vivid interviews and detailed background information, affording readers not only the thrill of the game but also a deeper understanding of the cultural and ideological landscapes that framed it. The author expertly intertwines firsthand accounts and historical context, making this book not just a recounting of a hockey match, but a reflection on an era defined by its contrasting styles of play—physicality embodied by the Broad Street Bullies against the technical prowess of the Soviet team. Readers have praised the book for its excellent writing and engaging storytelling, with many noting how it revives nostalgic memories of a time when hockey was distinctively different, characterized by fewer regulations and the raw passion of the game. While some reviewers appreciated the book's informative nature and engaging narrative, there was a measure of disappointment regarding the page count, as some felt that the value did not correspond to the price, citing inaccuracies in the stated length. Nevertheless, these critiques did not overshadow the overwhelming positivity surrounding the vivid storytelling and nostalgic value presented in this historical account. Overall, "The Game That Saved the NHL" is heralded as an essential read for hockey fans and history buffs alike, encapsulating a crucial moment that bridged two worlds through the universal language of sport. **
