A Boston Bruins Masterpiece
Customer Rating:
If your a longtime Boston Bruins fan (like me from 1966) then you have to get this book. This is a wonderful collection of photographs and stories covering all of the great past Bruins that fans loved not only for their play on the ice but for their actions off the ice. It is a book that features athletes from the Bruins the way we wish all athletes would act. A true classic for the coffee table whether it is hockey season or not.
Solid Gold Treatment for America's Blue Collar Hockey Team
Customer Rating:
This beautifully illustrated book captures the essence of a memorable era of Bruins and hockey history. Among the players featured are the likes of the incomparable Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Gerry Cheevers, Terry O'Reilly, Cam Neely, Ray Bourque, and the swashbuckling Bruins squad led by head coach Don Cherry known as the "Lunchpail AC." Longtime Bruins team photographer Steve Babineau culled through hundreds of thousands of negatives shot over four decades to assemble this definitive portrait of hockey's original blue collar franchise. Babineau's photographs are perfectly complimented by Rob Simpson's informed and entertaining text. Since both authors are hockey professionals and diehard fans their enthusiasm for the Bruins is matched only by their skill as chroniclers of the team's colorful history. This book belongs on the same shelf as past hockey pictorial histories by photographers such as Harold Barkley and Denis Brodeur and is a must purchase for any serious hockey fan...all for the price of a second balcony seat.
