Product Description

Despite the youthful and talented trio of Sidney Crosby ,Evgeni Malkin, and Marc-Andre Fleury, a second consecutive Stanley Cup run looked out of the question for the 2008-09 Pittsburgh Penguins. Offseason free-agency defections left the reshaped team struggling and outside a playoff spot at midseason. Then a well-timed coaching change shook the squad out of its doldrums and pushed the young stars to peak performance. The result was a masterful run into and through the post-season culminating in a dramatic seven-game series win over the Red Wings. Comeback Kids is a must-have for every Penguins fan. It traces the ups and downs of this riveting season and celebrated a hard-earned championship that just a short time ago seemed beyond Pittsburgh's grasp.

Awesome commemorative book
Definitely get this if you're a Penguins fan. It has articles on different parts of the regular season and playoffs, and is loaded with tons of high quality photographs. Well worth the price.

City of Champions . . . again !!
This is a nice compilation of the Penguins Stanley Cup season for Pittsburgh sport fans, especially for those of us that have moved away and don't get the Post-Gazette any more. The order of chapters is confusing to follow, but I enjoyed reading all the articles with nice full-page photo spreads. If we could only get the Pirates to recapture their old glory for the ultimate trifecta! Looking forward to another great season . . . Go Steelers !! Go Penguins !!
