The second in a series of books written by hockey's most authoritative author, Stan Fischler, examines the storied history of the Boston Bruins. Formatted like his first book for SPI, The Greatest Players and Moments of the Philadelphia Flyers, Fischler's Bruins book contains all of Boston hockey's most famous names-Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, Eddie Shore, Milt Schmidt, John Bucyk, and many others. Of the Original Six NHL clubs, only the Montreal Canadiens have a better all-time winning percentage than the Boston Bruins. Stories and trivia about all five of the Bruins' Stanley Cup championship teams are also included.

Stan Fischler is a dedicated hockey enthusiasts who's Boston Bruins: Greatest Moments And Players is a wonderfully written survey providing unique insights into one of professional hockey's most legendary franchises. Fischler covers the Boston Bruins' 75-year history through informative profiles and anecdotal stories of success and talent that went into the making of one of hockey's greatest teams. Boston Bruins is "must" reading for all hockey enthusiasts in general, and every Bruins fan in particular!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for Bruin fans,
By Simon MacKaye (Morgantown, WV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boston Bruins: Greatest Moments and Players (paperback) (Paperback)
I'm not the biggest Fischler fan out there (he tends to write in empty platitudes), but this book is definitely worth checking out. Some of his rankings are kooky (Bucyk over Espo, Neely not in the top 20, saying that Tiny Thompson was the best goalie in Bruins history aside from Frankie Brimsek even though he rated both Gerry Cheevers and Ed Johnston ahead of Thompson), but that would be the case with any such list. It's a great generator for discussion, and the bios for each listed person have some neat anecdotes. There are no new revelations about Ray Bourque or Bobby Orr, but there's good information about some of the old timers like Bill Cowley, Cooney Weiland, and Frank Frederickson. If you're a fan of the Bruins, this is essential. If you're a fan of hockey history, it's also worth picking up.
