My favorite player growing up and watching the Rangers on channel 9, with the former referee Bill "Big Whistle" Chadwick commentating. I would put my little transistor radio under my pillow when I was supposed to be sleeping, and listen to Marv Albert do the play by play. The Rangers fell to the Bruins, with Bobby Orr, in 1972 in six games. I was devastated. But Eddie shut them out one game, and even went after Derek Sanderson near the end. He was always feisty and competitive. A great skater, and puck handler, he wanted to be the first goalie to score a goal, and came close against Montreal in the playoffs. They had pulled their goalie, (Dryden?), and Eddie shot it all the way down the ice but missed by a foot wide. It was like slow motion. I can still remember it vividly. Before they had authentic game jerseys, I made a GIACOMIN Jersey with a sweatshirt and magic markers. I thought I was the shit. His agility and exciting style were fun to watch. One day I hope to get his autograph. Eddie..Eddie..Eddie..
Kick save and a beauty...Giacomin!
- Marv Albert.
Always #1.
