The Penguins have a Stanley Cup DVD? Ya don't say

If you live in Pittsburgh, you can get the dvd for $11.99 at Giant Eagle stores! Totally worth it! The dvd is amazing!

Just finished watching it, considering how fast they put it together—Talbot’s voice is still about as raspy as it was by the parade so it definitely wasn’t very long after, they did a fine job tying it allI together. I really liked the way they tied it all together, and made you relive the emotions you felt at various moments during the playoffs.
Also you’ve gotta love the mic’d up practice w/Billy Guerin—p.s. is it Doofy or Goofy? Do you think it will catch on?

Although I enjoyed the DVD very much, the critic in me felt some things could’ve been a little bit better:
SPOILER ALERT
- I thought that they could have emphasized the strong start a little more—as it was the 3rd best in franchise history
- I thought it would have been a nice touch to mention how Staal, Sid, Geno, Sykora (finally), and Dupuis all got hat tricks from Nov-Jan
- I thought it would have been poignant to mention that one of the turning points of the season was the 4-3 OT vs. Tampa Bay where Geno refused to lose
- In Game 6 SCF, they didn’t mention how Sykora got hurt blocking a shot
- I sometimes thought the flow of the playoffs was a little weird, wasn’t always sure which game they were up to.

However all-in-all I don’t want to take away from the fact that that was 100% non-fiction and a better script could not have been written. Especially hearing it straight from the players, broadcasters and writers what they were feeling and experiencing was priceless. I’m glad I will own it for a long time to come!

I bought the NHL 2009 playoffs highlights DVD and frankly I was disappointed. The interviews and commentary were fine (though I would’ve liked more DVD-only interviews rather than postgame press conference or on-ice clips we saw before), but the goal highlights were not as good as they could have been, just not good video choices, such as one Guerin goal which showed him shooting the puck and then celebrating, but not the puck going into the net. There were no fewer than SIX replays of Fleury’s Game 7 save on Ovechkin’s breakway, which was completely excessive and unnecessary. Rather than showing that more than once or twice, they should’ve shown more of the Penguins’ six goals that game, as well as the ENTIRE play of Sid stealing the puck from Ovechkin and scoring on the breakaway. The parade video was, in a word, boring. Cameras and mikes should’ve been positioned alongside the vehicles carrying the team, filming and recording players’ and fans’ reactions as they went down the streets of Pittsburgh. Instead, much of the video was shot from quite a distance away, as if by some random guy with a camcorder in amongst the crowd rather than an official videographer. I know they put the DVD together in an awful hurry, but you’d think they’d have done a better job of it. The Pens deserve better!
