Synopsis
Every year an NHL team is crowned champion and awarded the Stanley Cup. Sometimes that honor punctuates an extraordinary year and is an isolated event in the club's history. But sometimes it means much more; the transformation of a team into a dynasty. It is the tribute given to a team that has managed to rise to the top again and again. Featured dynasties include: Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins, New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators, and the Toronto Maple Leafs."

From the Back Cover
Over the years, which teams have earned the right to be called great hockey dynasties? Few would argue that for four decades the Montreal Canadiens were such a club. So too were the Toronto Maple Leafs of the forties and sixties. The New York Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers could both lay claim to the title in the eighties, while the ever-controversial Philadelphia Flyers would fight for that right in the seventies. What made these teams great and what kept them champions for so long?
