Includes the tickets, media passes, programmes and Jim's hand-written game notes so readers can re-live 55 great hockey games stretching from the 1970s to today. For each game, the host city comes alive with a broadcast-booth view of the play-by-play by one of the best announcers in NHL history. Take these historic games as the league grew: 1970 -- Toronto at Vancouver (east-west rivalry begins); 1980 -- Stanley Cup Finals (Isles win Cup on Nystrom's OT goal); 1988 -- Edmonton at Calgary ('Battle of Alberta' playoff won in OT); 1989 -- Canucks at Quebec (Lafleur tied 'The Rocket' at 544 goals); 1994 -- Canucks at L.A. (Gretzky scored his #802 to pass Howe); 2000 -- Canucks at Florida (Jovo was the OT hero). The discovery of Jim Robson's superb hand-written game notes spurred the creation of this book.
