Episode 59 of the Pro Hockey Alumni Podcast looks back at the great NY Rangers goalies of the 1960s and 70s and an overtime session featuring classic hockey news and notes.

Today’s guest is author and NY Rangers historian George Grimm, whose outstanding new book — “Guardians of the Goal” - is a comprehensive guide to everyone who has ever played goal for the New York Rangers.

This book is a must-read for hockey fans.  Although the book is painstakingly researched, it is also entertaining and fast-paced.  I learned a lot reading this Guardians of the Goal and you will, too.  I highly recommend it!

In our discussion we focus on Rangers goalies of the 60s and 70s like Gilles Villemure, Ed Gaicomin, John Davidson and more.  We also sneak in a great Vaclav Nedomansky story,  as well.

Guardians of the Goal is available on amazon.com.  

As many of you know in addition to to the PHA social media sites, we also have other popular classic hockey Facebook sites: Hartford Whaler Nation, The Boston Bruins Alumni and the WHA Hockey.  Now and then, I’ll take a look back at the past week on all these sites and pick out the highlites to discuss on the show.

On this episode we’ll remember two wild WHA Thanksgiving stories from Birmingham Alabama, featuring Whalers Coach Harry Neale in 1976 and the Cincinnati Stingers in 1977 as they found the Birmingham Bulls and their fans to be inhospitable Turkey Day hosts.  We’ll also discuss some interesting details of Bobby Orr’s final game as a Boston Bruin this week in 1975.

Finally, we’ll take a look back at the hockey life of NHL alum Bill McCreary, who passed a way this week at the age of 84.
