knowledge of Rangers hockey. Rather than merely posing questions and
providing answers, you'll get details behind each--stories that bring to

Vic Hadfield, "Gump" Worsley, Ron Greschner, Andy Bathgate, Jean
Ratelle, Eddie Giacomin, Adam Graves, Brad Park, Jaromir Jagr, Mike
Richter, Brian Leetch, Henrik Lundqvist, and so many more. Some of the
many questions that this book answers include:

the opening faceoff to the end of the game?
