Today, we're looking at Detroit Red Wings: Greatest Moments and Players, by Stan Fischler.

This book starts with a selection of 53 of the best players to ever suit up for the Wings. Luminaries such as Gordie Howe, Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom and so many more are featured in the first section, biographies about these players.

Section 2 is a chronology of 60 moments in Detroit history. First games, special milestones, things of that nature.

Part 3 is a series of slightly longer pieces that include the best, worst and unusual about the team; statistics, and a small feature on why Gordie Howe, not Gretzky is the best player of all time.

There's a section on notable persons from the front office over the years. The Ilitch family, Scotty Bowman, Jack Adams, the list continues with well-known names in the hockey world.

Finally, there's a look at the 2002 and 2008 Stanley Cup chases.

It's a well-laid out book, with plenty of pictures. The facts and information are presented in an easy-to-follow format, and you don't have to know a lot about hockey to keep track of it all. The stories are presented first-hand, as if you're looking over the writer's shoulder watching and listening to it all happen.

Stan Fischler has a reputation as a hockey reporting legend. He's been covering the game for over 50 years, having started with the New York Rangers in 1954. His writing is impeccable, as is his style.

Highly recommended for any Red Wings fan, and any fan of the game.
