A history of Rangers goalies through the ages! New York Rangers
fans have always loved their goaltenders and, throughout their
history, the Blueshirts have been blessed with some of the very
best in the game. Through the first nine-plus decades of their
existence, eighty-eight men from Canada, the United States, and
Europe have toiled between the pipes at Madison Square Garden. They
all shared the same responsibility, yet each brought their own
style, personality, character, and idiosyncrasies to the position
and provided unique memories for those of us who watched them. In
Guardians of the Goal, each one of these brave men is discussed in
chronological order, while providing an overview of their era and
the general managers and coaches they played for. Such players
highlighted in this book include: - Mike Richter - Ed Giacomin -
John Vanbiesbrouck - Henrik Lundqvist - Davey Kerr - And many more.
Regardless of whether they were a franchise goalie, a flash in the
pan, or an emergency fill-in, each of these "Lone Rangers," or as
Steve Baker once called them, "The few, the proud, and the very
busy," have one thing in common: they all tried their best to keep
that little one-inch by three-inch piece of frozen, vulcanized
rubber out of the gaping twenty-four square foot chasm behind them.
Some were more successful than others, but as you will see,
although they may occasionally "steal" a game, in most cases a
goaltender is only as good as the team in front of him. Guardians
of the Goal is just that: an ode to those Blueshirts who laid it
out night in and night out, leaving it all out on the ice for our
Rangers.
