Eddie Giacomin Signed Photo of His Return to Madison Square Garden. For nearly 11 seasons, Eddie Giacomin (born 1939) played for the New York Rangers and enjoyed legions of fans. So it was particularly upsetting for Giacomin when, on October 31, 1975, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings. Only 2 days later he returned to New York as the visiting goaltender. This inscribed photograph, capturing the moment Eddie Giacomin returned to Madison Square Garden with Rangers fans chanting "Eddie, Eddie" while he was in his Detroit Red Wings uniform, captures the feelings that were on display that day, and the overwhelming emotion. (Check video on YouTube) The photo is inscribed by Giacomin detailing the difficulty he faced on that return to MSG, and is signed "Eddie Giacomin 'H.O.F. 87'" in gold sharpie. This 16 x 20" B&W photo is handsomely matted and framed to 20 x 23" and comes with a COA from Steiner Sports. Estimated Value $125 - UP
