Stanleytown: The Inside Story of How the Stanley Cup Returned to the Motor City After 41 Frustrating Seasons
Twenty-five years ago, after 41 seasons of futility, the Stanley Cup finally returned to the Motor City. Red Wings fans never will forget Steve Yzerman, with his gap-toothed smile, hoisting the Cup to cap the 1996-97 season. Or the Russian Five. Or the Grind Line. Or Fight Night at The Joe against Claude Lemieux, Patrick Roy and the hated Avalanche. Or the flying octopi. Or the million fans who lined Woodward for the parade. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of one of Michigan's most-beloved teams, the Free Press has crafted a 208-page, full-color, hardcover collector's book with fresh insights and dynamic storytelling about the 1996-97 Wings. Relive all the drama, the personalities and the glory as Hockeytown once again became Stanleytown.

A great read for a great time for Detroit and Detroit Red Wing fans. Being only a child when this happened a lot of the behind the scene stories and moments that I didn't know about or wouldn't have understood were fascinating to read. I would recommend this for every fan of the Detroit Red Wings and even for those who just hockey fans.
