The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: New York Rangers: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping, and Gut-Wrenching Moments from New York Rangers History

by Steve Zipay

Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly shine. This monumental book of the New York Rangers documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Rangers highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the end of the Stanley Cup curse in 1994 as well as the years of futility in the 1940s and 1950s, when the Rangers struggled mightily. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps, or laughs, this portrait of the team is sure to appeal to the fan who has been through it all.

Doesn’t read like a novel, but has a bunch of great notes and stats. Good piece for the shelf.

Some nice anecdotes. Some I've heard before and provided some nice nostalgia. Others were new to me.

HOWEVER ... this book struck me as very hastily and poorly edited. There were often redundant inclusion of facts; sometimes at the start and then again at the end of the same paragraph!! At only 158 pages, I have to wonder how much further it would have shrunk!!

Funny ... I'm usually a "liker", but I finished two books yesterday and found both significantly faulty - new followers, this is NOT my usual style!!
