We had the pleasure of getting to talk to Phil Bourque on the PensBurgh podcast last week, and now have a formal review of his book. If These Walls Could Talk: Pittsburgh Penguins: Stories from the Pittsburgh Penguins Ice, Locker Room, and Press Box is a fun read, and a definite recommend. The Old 2-9’er talks about his life from the very beginning, going from growing up outside Boston to escape to Canada to play junior hockey and get away from an abusive father, going undrafted but persevering to make it to the NHL. It’s a whirlwind journey and he doesn’t sugarcoat anything.
