From the moment Dr. John McMullen brought professional hockey to New Jersey to the moment Scott Stevens lifted the Stanley Cup over his head for the third time, the Garden State has been in live with its New Jersey Devils. In Chico Resch's Tales from the Devils Ice, former New Jersey goalic Chico Resch and co-author Mike Kerwick bring readers along for a wild ride form the lean early seasons to the three Stanley Cup championships. The book has it all, including details about John MacLean's game winner against Chicago, the goal that propelled the Devils into the playoffs for the first time; Ken Daneyko's emotional curtain call in Game 7 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals; and Martin Brodeur's yearly playoff dominance, Resch and Kerwick spent the 2003-04 season talking to players past and present, searching for the stories behind the stories. They provide answers to questions like: Why did teammates shove a shaving-cream pie in defenseman Colin White's face during a practice in Columbus? Why did Garry Howatt serve as an official linesman while he was still on the Devils roster? And why did Kirk Muller receive a phony subpoena when he was a little late paying for auto body work on his car? Fans will not have to wonder about questions like those any longer. Chico Resch's Tales from the Devils Ice is an easy skate through Devils history, revealing insights behind the stories fans have heard and many others they have not heard until now.
If you think Marty failed to deliver the truth in his book, well, then this one should do the trick because I'm sure half the stories will be on Marty.
Not out just yet, however.
