Samenvatting:

No symbol in sports is as widely recognized or as synonymous with success as the NHL's Stanley Cup. The Cup has become something of legend. Men have bravely battled for over a century to hoist it high above their heads in victory; it has been lost, stolen, used as a flower vase, and found at the bottom of a canal. Sixteen teams have qualified for the 2009 NHL playoffs, but just one will walk away with the glory. This book chronicles that team's championship year, from the first day of training camp to a recap of each game and playoff match-up. "The 2009 Stanley Cup Champions" is the definitive tribute to the winning team and includes all the stats, facts, and figures a hockey fan could ever want. Told with stunning photography and the best hockey writing available, fans will delight in this collectible publication and enjoy reliving the season that brought home Lord Stanley's Cup.
