Here's another book review!! Today,
we're looking at Tales from the New Jersey Devils Locker Room,
by Glenn “Chico” Resch, with Mike Kerwick.
New
Jersey was actually the 3rd
stop for this franchise, Kansas City and Colorado (Denver) being the
first two. However, Jersey was easily the most successful, with three
Stanley Cups and multiple playoff success stories.
Open these pages, and find out about Martin Brodeur, from his humble
beginnings to his Hall of Fame career. See deep into Ken Daneyko's
career, played entirely with the Devils, and ending with an emotional
curtain call in Game 7 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals. Find out more
about players like Scott Niedermayer, Scott Stevens, and Brendan
Shanahan.
Glenn Resch is one of two goalies to lead a team to victory in a
Stanley Cup playoff series after being down 3-0. He played four of
his fourteen seasons in the NHL with New Jersey, and is
well-qualified to tell the tales of the Devils. He tells tales of Lou
Lamoriello, the General Manager of the team, and his antics; the
trades as well as his occasional coaching stints.
From the bizarre to the hilarious, the profound, and everything in
between, this book covers the Devils in full.
On a personal note, I found it to be an easy, enjoyable read. I've
already recommended it to a couple of Devils fans that I know. Every
Devils fan out there should take the time to leaf through these
pages, just to get to know their team better.
