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.. And summed up by saying Essential for Bruin fans. Currently Boston Bruins: Greatest Moments and Players (paperback) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
