Today’s episode features part of a conversation with former NHL goaltender Bill Ranford, who recalls his heroic 1990 Stanley Cup playoff run with the Edmonton Oilers. It’s part of a longer chat with the winner of the 1990 Conn Smythe Trophy (as playoff MVP), which was recorded in February 2021 and will be featured in a new book that I’m writing.
Currently the goaltending coach of the Los Angeles Kings, Ranford (who was traded 33 years ago this week on March 8, 1988, from the Bruins to the Oilers) played 15 seasons in the NHL with Boston, Edmonton, Washington, Tampa Bay, and Detroit. His playing career also included a 1991 Canada Cup and a gold medal at the 1994 World Championships.
