Heaven - New Jersey Devils 1995 Stanley Cup Champions Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In perhaps what is the finest example of hockey ever captured on film, this documentary follows the New Jersey Devils through their drive to the Stanley Cup in 1995. Film has many highlights of the Devils' playoff series against Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and then the Detroit Red Wings for hockey's most coveted prize the Stanley Cup. There are also many off ice interviews with players, coaches, fans and others that will give the viewer a few interesting side notes. This movie is a true classic in its depiction of the underdog Devils coming through the playoff series and sweeping the heavily favored Red Wings in the Finals. This film is a great piece of hockey history. Well done movie, as with most good movies, look for many more sequels to be released in the coming years.

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!

NHL: Montreal Canadiens - 100th Anniversary Collector's Set (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Received this DVD for Christmas from my son.
Great gift, especially for someone who grew up in Montreal cheering for Les Habitants.
There is some interesting history on this Centennial Edition, however the quality of the the production is significantly lacking. There are 4 individual discs yet each contains significant repetition of items. It seems that the editing was done by someone preparing a web site with hypertext links - this would make sense.
I recommend this item for nostalgia but if you really want to learn about this team and its importance to Quebec and Canada, the book that accompanies the DVD is a much better source.

Starting at the beginning of the game(or national anthem) and going until the end of the telecast. All the Stanley cup postgame celebrations are shown. This is a great set, I highly recommend it to all hockey fans. I do wish they had included games done my Hockey night in Canada announcers. Hopefully they will do more box sets including other "cup clinchers"

Canada Cup 1987 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)IT IS PACKAGED TERRIBLY! Almost all the disks were ruined when I got them. I have never seen a dvd set packaged so bad! All the disks are packed so tight and two of them didn`t even have a place to put them like a typical case would have, they were just loose in the package!

Nhl Pittsburgh Penguins Greatest Games 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having to wait almost 2 years to get the 2009 cup win on DVD totally blew. I was watching it on Hulu and watching the highlights over and over again on Youtube as well as the celebration. Luckily game 7 is on this DVD and the celebration on the ice afterward is also included! We get an interview with Mario after the Game 1 SCF Blackhawks win (coming from behind, incredibly exciting) and another come from behind victory is included, game 6 vs. Philadelphia, with Max shushing the crowd (two interviews after that one, Fleury and Crosby). The picture quality of the games is even better than Volume One, and seeing Crosby raising the Cup is priceless. I love this set! LETS GO PENS!
