NY Ranger Sunday Matinees at The Garden

On beautiful autumn afternoons like today I am reminded of the many occasions we went to Madison Square Garden for a New York Ranger hockey game with a 12:00 PM start time. If the game was on TV the players would slick back their hair back and shave so they would look good on camera. There were no masks or helmuts, except maybe for our goalie Eddie Giacomin.


The Garden Faithful, as we were charitably referred to in the newspapers and on TV, would chant our goalie's name whenever the mood struck or the action demanded it. We would call out, "Ed-die Ed-die!" till our ears started to ring.
