Wayne Gretzkys Edmonton Oilers were arguably the greatest team in league history, and during the 1980s arguably the most popular team across the United States, even if many had little idea where Edmonton was. They were that good. And so was Fuhr: Gretzky called him the best goaltender in the world. ----- Fuhr broke the colour barrier for NHL goaltenders when he played his first game for the Oilers in 1981, and was an inspiration for later players including future Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla. But in addition to their dynastic run of Stanley Cup championships, the Oilers were also synonymous with the excesses of the decade: Fuhr himself was suspended for substance use, a discredit he had to fight back from -and did, going on to set career records and earning election to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. ----"---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo. /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE /// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---.
