Ed Giacomin - Goalie for the New York Rangers

Ed was the “Gutsy” goaltender, minding the nets for the New York Rangers for nine seasons. He led the league in games played for four straight seasons and shutouts in 1967, 1968, and 1971. Known for his classic stand-up goaltending and skilled stick handling, he was constantly leaving the crease to play the puck. Typical of his bravery, during the 1971 playoffs against the Chicago Black Hawks, Bobby Hull skated over the back of his hand. Injured, Ed would not leave the game, and when the Rangers won the game, even the Black Hawks used the word "guts" to describe his courage.
