From the Inside Flap:

What started on a warm September day in Traverse City and crisscrossed the country during the cold months of winter, ended on a hot June night in the Steel City. Stanley was headed back to Hockeytown. The 11th Stanley Cup championship for the Detroit Red Wings was one of the most heart-stopping, ending in dramatic fashion against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Led by Nicklas Lidstrom, the first European player to captain a Stanley Cup winner, and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Henrik Zetterberg, the Wings won for the fourth time in 11 seasons. Whether it was Chris Osgood taking over in the first round of the playoffs on the way to his third Cup, Dallas Drake finally winning with the team that drafted him, or Brian Rafalski wining with his hometown team, the amazing stories were plenty.
