The Best of Bobby Orr Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)WOW...this is an amazing documentary...just enough "talking heads" to keep the story moving but TONS and TONS of great action footage. I think if most players in the game had ONE play as good as any of the literally couple hundred shown during this hour plus film...they's cherish it. As youngster living in Southern California during his heyday...I read about Orr in sports illustrated but seeing this footage is a revelation and I now understand why fans say he's better than Gretzky and I'd have to agree...he is just much more multi-dimensional. I don't know what is more awe inspiring...his intercepting a pass and taking it the full length to score, his throwing himself head first (without a helmet) to cover an empty net on defense or his flat out speed...this guy was ridiculous.
I purchased on Amazon Canada for under $20 ...and I think Mr Orr sells them on his site so don't pay 89 dollars..

NHL Stanley Cup Champions 2011: Boston Bruins Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being a Bruins fan my WHOLE life I am very pleased (& still in shock) that the Bruins are Stanley Cup champions! With that being said I am quite happy with this DVD release. The disc starts off with a quick rundown of the beginning of the 2010-11 season leading into the playoffs which makes up the majority of the playing time. This is where my only complaint comes from as I was hoping for more coverage of the regular season but hey after all the playoffs is what matters most! You get a good variety of players, staff, announcers, & some big Boston media honchos commenting throughout & it was particularly great to hear what they had to say in the more riveting moments of the playoffs...such as being down to Montreal in the beginning of the run, the Flyers getting annihilated, Bergeron's exit & return, the exciting Tampa series, Horton's injury & that pathetic garbage talking Roberto Luongo which also helped motivate the team to capture the Cup. The extras appear to be great even though I havn't seen them yet but they include: behind the scenes w/ the Stanley cup, extended locker room celebration, extra Boston parade coverage, season/playoff top 10s & 'History Will Be Made' TV commercials. So there you have it, Bruins fans we got our LONG awaited wish...so go & buy & enjoy this piece of NHL history for many years to come!
*UPDATE* I watched the extras & the best part is definitely the Stanley Cup segments including the parade celebration. The 'History..' commercials are good (man I didn't realize how many were made for the Bs alone in this year's playoffs!) And as for the top 10s it's cool but gets old after a little while. Still all in all a good buy!
