4 out of 5 stars "She wants to sell my monkey!" ????    February 17, 2008

The quotation above is just one of Penguins play-by-play man Mike Lange's bizarre declarations after a Penguins goal. Also, Lange gives a brief introduction before the games. Not being a Penguin fan, I'm not going to get into nitpicking about which games should be on here. Instead, I'll just discuss what is on here.

Most of the games on here feature fine video and audio quality. Exceptions being the North Stars game (poor video and audio) and the '91 Devils game which was joined in progress in the first period due to what were called "technical issues". In regards to the North Stars game, I've seen the CBC telecast of that game which looks and sounds fine. Why not just use that one? I'm all for having a local flavor, but not at the expense of the product. That said, it's still a recommended purchase for Penguins and NHL fans.


5 out of 5 stars Relive History Before More is Made    February 14, 2008

Get in the fast lane grandma. The Bingo game is ready to roll!!!!
Before this new breed of Penguins starts making history of their own you need to grab this DVD collection and remember when the Stanley Cup was still just a gleam in our eyes. Some of the most brilliant goals of Mario Lemieux's career are in this collection and they are just as amazing the second time around. If you are like me you had many of these games on VHS and were starting to worry that time was about to erase those memories for good. Now you can keep them fresh for the next generation and beyond. Hurry, before we go dancing with Lord Stanley again!!!


4 out of 5 stars Not The Best Choice of Games, But Still Great    December 16, 2007

Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, and Sidney Crosby are without question three of the greatest superstars of their era. Therefore it was essential that at least one or two of the Crosby games were included here, even though none of Crosby's Penguin teams have yet won a championship. What is sacrificed are some of the games that date back to before the Lemieux era began, and there were quite a few memorable ones. But in the 1970's the Penguins were overshadowed by the Steelers and the Pirates, both Pittsburgh teams that won a half-dozen World Championships between them in the 1970's. That is why it would have been nice to include at least one game that showcased the franchise's rich history that began well before Super Mario arrived on the scene in 1984. Between Lemieux and Jagr alone, they served up so many memorable moments on the ice, this despite Lemieux's career being entirely plagued with injuries and misfortune, Penguin fans look to the future with Crosby and Evgeni Malkin as the next great hockey duo to rock the 'Burgh for the next decade-plus.


3 out of 5 stars Top 10 Pens games is missing a key ingredient.    December 15, 2007

I'm a huge Pens' fan so I had to buy this DVD immediately. It's pretty good and definitely brings back many great memories. The video quality of the games is great, no glitches. The games are shown in their original broadcast which include Penguins play by play announcer Mike Lange with Paul Steigerwald adding color commentary. The four overtime playoff game against the Washington Capitals in 1996 is an ESPN telecast with Steve Levy providing play by play. The 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinal game 7 win against the Buffalo Sabres is also an ESPN telecast with Gary Thorne and Bill Clement on the call. Two of the included games are from the 2006 season which I don't agree with. Both are regular season games versus the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils. There were so many great games during the 1980's and 1990's that the producers could have chosen instead, or at least given the fans a chance to vote on. But the biggest dissapointment is the fact that THE GREATEST Penguins game ever is not included in the DVD set. That would be game 1 of the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals at home against the Chicago Blackhawks. If you ever get a chance to see game highlights on ESPN Classic or the NHL Network, don't miss it. The Penguins trailed in this game 3-0 and 4-1 and for many Pens' fans a funny thing happened on the way to the refrigerator... Rick Tocchet scored to make it 4-2; Mario Lemieux made it 4-3 scoring a goal from an impossible angle behind the goal line. He banked a shot of goaltender Ed Belfour's right leg. With under 5:00 minutes remaining in regulation, Jaromir Jagr scored a goal that Lemieux called in his post-game press conference the greatest he'd ever seen. Game tied 4-4. The Pens lined up for a face off in the Chicago end with 17.2 seconds remaining. Ron Francis won the face off, Larry Murphy took the shot, the rebound came off Belfour right to Lemieux who buried it. Pens won 5-4. No Pens' fan will ever forget this game nor Mike Lange's call of the winning goal. You could say that this comeback win won the Penguins their second Stanley Cup. Chicago never recovered and went on to get swept in the series 4 games to 0. Hopefully there will be a Volume II that includes this game.

If you're a Penguins fan or a hockey fan in general, this DVD is definitely a good purchase. I give it 3 out of 5 stars because the producers should have done a better job picking what games to include. In my opinion, the two games from the 2006 season shouldn't in the list.


2 out of 5 stars poor choice of games    December 13, 2007

I was looking forward to buying this, but must say how disapointed I am in the game selection. There are only 3 games on there worthy of consideration, with several obvious poor choices. The 4 overtime game againts the capitals? who wants to sit through that? Your kidding me, right? Marios comeback from retirement? Surely there are better choices. The Francis goal against the rangers that saved the series and game 1 from the 92 finals are clearly much more exciting games than either of those. Anyway, I wont be buying this now and can only wonder what the producers were thinking?
