GOOD HOCKEY BOOK

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK CONCERNING A VERY NICE LOOK AT SOME OF THE PLAYERS AND HISTORY OF THE NY RANGERS. BRIAN MCFARLANE DOES IT AGAIN AS HE HAS IN ALL OF HIS ORIGINAL SIX BOOKS. THIS TIME HE TAKES US THRU A BRIEF BUT DETAILED LOOK AT MANY OF THE RANGER PLAYERS AND COACHES. FROM THE COOK BROTHERS, EMILE FRANCIS, GILBERT, RATELLE TO MESSIER AND GRETZKY. BUT TO ME THE REAL HIGHLIGHT WAS FINALLY WINNING THE CUP IN 1994. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS EASY READING AND ENTERTAINING BOOK. RECOMMENDED FOR ALL HOCKEY FANS.

Must read for hockey fans!!

If you're a fan of hockey, from the original six to the 1990s, this is a book to read. Anecdotes abound courtesy of Mr. Mcfarlane, from the night 44 year old coach Lester Patrick stepped in as goaltender during a playoff series in 1928, to the night Eddie Giacomin returned to the Garden in a Red Wing uniform, to Phil Esposito's haphazzard management, to the Cup in 1994...Mr. Mcfarlane's Original Six series is exactly what hockey is about. Only an Islander fan would hate this book, and that's exactly how it should be...For real hockey fans, it's sure to to be enjoyed, and reread several times...
