Honestly, in terms of content, this book probably should've been a 3-star. Most of the articles are copied directly from the website with no further editing aside from a few fixed typos (though the new ones added for this book are quite good). The articles in the book have the same strengths (attention to detail, incredible memory for hilarious moments in hockey) and weaknesses (a bit too reliant on bait-and-switch jokes).

If you like hockey, and have a sense of humor, you HAVE to read this book. So good you'll be laughing at jokes about your own team, even if you don't wanna be. Literally a laugh out loud book. Can't wait to read more Down Goes Brown.
For the really knowledgable fan, "the Best of Down Goes Brown" is a treat. McIndoe is sharp and on the money without resorting to the a lot of the smartass comments one endures when watching many sportscasts. I liked it and will start to follow his blog on an ongoing basis.
Great humorous read about the NHL, something to get you through the lockout. Definitely check out the author's blog its worth the time
New articles are as hilarious as the previously published ones. Definitely a recommended read to any NHL fans - great humor from best in the business.
New material + old favorites = Stanley Cup!
Love DGB, love his blog, love this book.

Hockey humor at its best, and it's something I can read over and over again.
This is the best of the best.
If you love hockey and love to laugh, and you don't have this book then something is wrong with you. This is a must have for any hockey fan. DGB has such witty and smart humor, loved reading every page.
Had to pick the time of the day/night to read this, as my uncontrollable laughter would wake The Husband up from a sound sleep. Sean McIndoe is incredibly hilarious! Any NHL fan would find much to laugh at in this book.
There were many laugh out loud moments, almost once every chapter. But there were also a lot of repetition of the same tired jokes too. Having warned of that, I'll take one genuine original laugh over the gimmies in this case. Worth a read, but do it soon. Some of the humour won't last after a few years when the players have gone away.
It was great. I love hockey and humour, and this book perfectly combined the two.
A+, would lol again.
