0522----1969 Terry Sawchuk final game photo - NY Rangers at Pittsburgh

0522----1969 TERRY SAWCHUK FINAL GAME PHOTO - NY RANGERS AT PITTSBURGH Original, rare Penguins/Rangers BW in game action photo from the 1969-70 season. Terry Sawchuk is in goal for the Rangers during his final season.   He only played 8 games this season, so this could be his last action photo. Played on Oct 29, 1969 at Pittsburgh, with the Rangers winning 3-1. Review some game research below. Materials and images used in research are for review only, and NOT included with the item for sale in this listing. Others in the photo:  Penguins #10 McCreary, #19 Pronovost, Rangers #6 Hamilton, Referee Ashley. The scene shows Sawchuk making a save, and you can see the puck resting on his left pad. Looks like Pronovost may have flipped a shot toward Sawchuk, or could have been a shot from the point by "Bugsy" Watson. We used to take photos at the Pittsburgh Penguin games, and then occasionally have them autographed during the pre-game warmups. As you can see, this photo was autographed by Keith McCreary several years ago.    I always appreciate input, but THIS IS NOT Ranger goalie Gilles Villemure.   Sawchuk and Villemure both wore #30, I know. Villemure was not on the Rangers team this season, but Al Hamilton (#6) was. Sawchuk is even pictured in the news clipping, and mentioned in the sub-headline. Additionally, Penguins rookie Michel Briere is also in the photo clipping, and we all know he only played one season, 69-70. (Interesting to note that Sawchuk stopped Briere on a breakaway in this game). This photo has a couple of minor wrinkles and a scuff mark on the right border. I also see a couple of pinholes. The photo is NOT a reprint, photo copy, or other digital image. This is an original photo and measures 5-1/2 x 3-7/8 It was originally glued to a poster board way back when, so there is paper on the reverse side. Also has some game notes back there too. * * * * * * * * * * *
