Eddie Giacomin
Encyclopedia
Edward "Ed" Giacomin is a retired professional
ice hockey
goaltender
who played for the New York Rangers
and Detroit Red Wings
in the National Hockey League
, as well as for the Providence Reds
of the American Hockey League
.
days of the 1960s, with only six starting goaltending jobs in the NHL, positions were hard to obtain in the big leagues, and Giacomin starred for the Reds for five full seasons. Giacomin also served brief stints with the Eastern Hockey League
's legendary Clinton Comets
during the 1958/59 and the 1959/60 seasons.
NHL teams became interested in Giacomin, with Detroit and the New York Rangers expressing the most interest. New York ultimately traded three players and starting goaltender Marcel Paille
to the Red Wings for Giacomin in 1965. Giacomin was impressive in his first month as Rangers goaltender, but faltered thereafter, and lost his starting job in New York. The following season he improved markedly, leading the NHL in shutouts and backstopping the Rangers to only their second playoff berth in nine seasons.
A classic stand-up goaltender and a skilled stickhandler known for leaving the crease to play the puck, Giacomin would be the Rangers' starting goaltender for the next nine seasons, leading the league in games played four straight years from 1967, in shutouts in 1967, 1968 and 1971, and sharing the Vezina Trophy
with partner Gilles Villemure
in 1971. Typical of his bravery was in a game in the 1971 playoffs against Chicago when Bobby Hull
skated over the back of his hand. Eddie did not leave the game, and when the Rangers won the game, even the Black Hawks used the word "guts" to describe his courage. During this stretch the Rangers had a string of success second only to the powerful Boston Bruins
, the pinnacle of which was making it to the Stanley Cup
finals in 1972, losing to the Bruins in a hard-fought six game series.
Giacomin's effectiveness was reduced in 1975 by injuries. The following season, the Rangers got off to their worst start in ten years (and indeed missed the playoffs that year for the first time in a decade) and the Rangers started getting rid of their high-salaried veterans, an aging Giacomin among them. Many fans were angered when he was waived to the Detroit Red Wings
on October 29, 1975 as the result of a youth movement that resulted in John Davidson taking over in goal. In a twist of fate, the next Red Wings game after Giacomin was claimed off waivers would be in New York on October 31, and as Giacomin made his debut for the Red Wings, fans responded memorably for their old hero, giving Giacomin a prolonged standing ovation and cheering for him throughout the match. Rangers fans booed their own team chanting "Ed-die! Ed-die!"; Giacomin would win that game for the Red Wings. The evening was recently voted one of the 50 Greatest Moments in MSG

He played three respectable seasons in all for Detroit before a youth movement in goal for the club took over. He retired on January 17, 1978, with a career record of 289-208-97 and a 2.82 GAA.
, who incidentally were beaten in the playoffs by the rival Rangers that spring. Giacomin later served with the Islanders and the Red Wings as an assistant coach and two stints with the Rangers as a goaltending coach.
He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame
in 1987. His #1 was the second jersey number retired by the Rangers, on March 15, 1989, joining Rod Gilbert
