Black And Gold by Steve Babineau and Rob Simpson

Remember this book from 2008?


Well, now that the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011, the book is being re-released. Surprise, Surprise! Now the book will look like this:


Obviously Bruins photographer Steve Babineau has added 32 pages of content, mostly new photos to the book, mostly of the 2011 championship and the 2010 Winter Classic from Fenway Park. Don Cherry jumps on board and writes an all new forward.

Black and Gold: Four Decades of the Boston Bruins in Photographs is a stunning collection of photographs of Steve Babineau, the Boston Bruins official team photographer since 1973. "Babs," as he affectionately is known, has seen a lot of hockey history through his lens in that time. Now, with writer Rob Simpson, Babineau shares his memories of one of hockey's most storied teams.
