The Pittsburgh Penguins have captured the Stanley Cup five times
since 1991-more than any NHL team during the same period. Joining
the NHL in 1967 as an expansion team, they waddled their way
through years of heavy losses both on and off the ice-bad trades,
horrible draft picks, a revolving door of owners, general managers
and coaches, and even a bankruptcy. Somehow, they hung on long
enough to draft superstar Mario Lemieux in 1984 and eventually
claim their first championship, attracting a large fanbase along
the way. Packed with colorful recollections from former players,
reporters and team officials, this book tells the complete story of
the Penguins' first 25 years, chronicling their often hilarious,
sometimes tragic transformation from bumbling upstarts to one of
hockey's most accomplished franchises.
