The Big 50: Boston The Men and Moments that Made the Boston Bruins is an amazing, full-color look at the 50 men and moments that made the Bruins the Bruins. Experienced sportswriter Fluto Shinzawa recounts the living history of the B's, counting down from No. 50 to No. 1. Big 50: Bruins brilliantly brings to life the team's remarkable story, from Ray Bourque and Bobby Orr to ferocious defenseman Zdeno Chara and the team’s 2011 Stanley Cup win.
It's a feel-good history of the Bruins that glosses over some of the messier details of their hostory and that of their players. While I understand the necessity of reminding the reader of a particular point in time to ground the chapter, it us highly repetitive. Seriously, I'm not sure I can bear hearing the history of the Esposito trade ever again.
