The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: Detroit Red Wings: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping, and Gut-Wrenching Moments from Detroit Red Wings History

by Ted Kulfan, Larry Murphy (Foreword)

Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly shine. This monumental book of the Detroit Red Wings documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Wings highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the revolutionary style of the Russian Five and the magic run of Franzén, as well as the dark sides of Jack Adams and the Richard Riot of 1955. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps, or laughs, this portrait of the team is sure to appeal to the fan who has been through it all.

It read a bit like an encyclopedia--there were some things that repeated, so you don't have to read the whole book in order to understand things. The downside of this was its focus was more recent. I would have liked to see more about the Wings pre-1996.
