Purchase options and add-ons

In the late 1960s the New York Rangers transformed from NHL also-rans to Stanley Cup contenders. Gilles Villemure was part of that transformation. The little goaltender had a long wait to make it to the National Hockey League, which had only six teams until after the middle of the decade. Eventually Villemure joined Eddie Giacomin to give the Rangers a strong 1-2 goaltending tandem. The Vezina Trophy–winning twosome was a fixture for the Rangers, threatening to end the franchise’s long Stanley Cup drought, only to come up short. Now, forty years later, Villemure writes about his days with the Rangers in the newly updated Tales from the Rangers Locker Room. Villemure tells stories about old pals like Rod Gilbert, Vic Hadfield, Brad Park, Jean Ratelle—and his boss, Emile “The Cat” Francis.

The Rangers finally won that Stanley Cup in 1994, ending over fifty years of frustration, but it was those Francis-led teams—the ones with Villemure and Giacomin in the goal—that brought New York’s Blueshirts, Madison Square Garden’s finest, to the top of the NHL. It is their influence that has continued to propel the Rangers forward even today, with a conference championship win in 2014 and the President’s Trophy in 2015. Fans young and old will want to hear Villemure’s stories come to life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars delicato e molto romantico

    Villemure dopo tante stagioni passate nelle leghe minori arriva ai New York Rangers alla soglia dei 30 anni. Nel primo anno con il collega Eddie Giacomin vince il Vezina Trophy che premia il miglior portiere della NHL. Descrive con storie descritte molto bene momenti e giocatori che caratterizzarono i 5 anni trascorsi a New York sotto la guida del mitico Emile (the cat) Francis. Un'epoca diversa da quella dei nostri giorni. Vivevano come una famiglia e descrive tante aneddoti che fanno di questo libro una vera chicca da gustare. Consigliatissimo!
