Colorado Avalanche Titles

In the run-up to the NHL Entry Draft in 1992, the Buffalo Sabres interviewed Matthew Barnaby. John Muckler, Buffalo&#39;s coach, asked him, &quot;What happens at 8:05 on Saturday night in Detroit when Bob Probert asks you to fight?” When the teenager responded, “That’s easy. At 8:03, I’d have already asked Probert to fight,” they knew they had to draft him. <br /><br />Through 14 NHL seasons after that exchange, Barnaby never stopped fighting. <br /><br />In <em>Unfiltered</em>, the former right wing reflects on the adventures of a high-profile life and the determination that got him there, from getting drafted last in juniors to carving out a role for himself on each new NHL team, to discovering new joys and passions in retirement. <br /><br />Barnaby also opens up about the memorable hijinks, the larger-than-life hockey characters, and the very real challenges and risks that come with the sport&#39;s physicality. <br /><br /><strong>Both hilarious and heartrending, this is an unvarnished story of battles fought and lessons learned.</strong>
