(4 stars) - Where's the extended dvd?
This is a great highlight reel, but I agree with other reviews in that the audio is really uneven (music too loud in places). Plus the stories from the playoffs feel like they were barely touched on (no mention of Carcillo getting suspended; no mention of Ovechkin injuring Gonchar, etc). Where's the extended dvd? Game 7 was probably one of the most exciting games I've ever seen. If there isn't an extended dvd, they're going to have to have a volume two for the 10 greatest Penguin games!

(3 stars) - I have been waiting 16 years for the Pens to carry the Stanley Cup again!
I have been waiting 16 years for the Pens to carry the Stanley Cup again. I remember when Mario Lemieux held the cup back in 92'... what a feeling. I didn't think I would have to wait this long to see someone in the Penguins jersey do it again. Too bad couldn't see Jaromir Jagr as captain winning the Stanley Cup.

Anyway, as for the DVD. I had to buy it because of all the years of waiting. I can't say that it's a DVD that I will keep on watching... the only missing factor to making this an excellent DVD - ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF THE GAME! That's the only thing that was missing. They should of at least added the 3rd period of the actual game on in the extras section. What a pity.

(5 stars) - Awesome!
My family and I have watched this DVD over and over. It is a must for any Pens fan!

(5 stars) - LET'S GO PENS!!!
This championship season for the Pittsburgh Penguins began on June 4, 2008 when a younger Penguins team lost in the finals to the Detroit Red Wings. So the 2008-2009 season was considered by most fans a season of unfinished business.

Losing Hossa and Malone was difficult, but the Penguins got through and signed Miroslav Satan and Ruslan Fedotenko. At one point during the season, Michel Therrien was fired and replaced by Dan Bylsma. No rookie coach since 1971 had ever won the Stanley Cup before Bylsma did it.

Along the way, we landed Chris Kunitz and Bill Guerin in trades. Gonchar returned from an injury that kept him out for most of the season.

I remember watching game 7 of the finals and muting the TV to listen to Mike Lange. What an amazing Cup-saving stop by Fleury! What an unbelievable feeling to bring the Cup back to Pittsburgh!

As Mike Lange would say, Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, get me the brandy!

(2 stars) - PATIENCE PLEASE PENGUIN PARTISANS
It's just like with the Steelers - ya gotta wait for the 2nd release. The first DVD is NEVER the one to buy after a sports championship season.
The first one is for the SUCKERS who want to quickly savor/revisit the season. One must realize that it takes time to put together a quality
release. It'll be out before Christmas. And it will be more than one disc. It has to be - the Pens season was so packed full of interesting stories and dramatic victories.
