A dynamic and candid memoir by an unlikely NHL brawler In the run-up to the NHL Entry Draft in 1992, the Buffalo Sabres interviewed Matthew Barnaby. John Muckler, Buffalo's coach, asked him, "e;What happens at 8:05 on Saturday night in Detroit when Bob Probert asks you to fight?"e; When the teenager responded, "e;That's easy. At 8:03, I'd have already asked Probert to fight,"e; they knew they had to draft him. Through 14 NHL seasons after that exchange, Barnaby never stopped fighting. In Unfiltered, 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. 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's physicality.Both hilarious and heartrending, this is an unvarnished story of battles fought and lessons learned.
