Summary:

This definitive resource on the Pittsburgh Penguins, one of the NHL's most popular and successful franchises, features exhaustive research and hundreds of exclusive photographs courtesy of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The book traces the franchise's history from its birth as an expansion team in 1967 and its flirtation with bankruptcy in the 1970s to the arrival of Mario Lemieux in the 1980s and Sidney Crosby's coming in the 2000s, two acquisitions that have led to a golden age of Pittsburgh hockey.
