NHL - Pittsburgh Penguins - 10 Greatest Games [DVD]

My son told me this was a great gift for my 15 year old grandson. He has really been wanting it. Can’t wait for him to open it.

Awesome trip down memory lane! Only complaint is that it should a 20 DVD set cause the PENGUINS RULE!!!

The Pittsburgh Penguins history began in 1967 when they first joined the NHL. The first game in this 10-dvd series begins in 1989. The Penguins have a great history in Steeltown, and the first 22 years of this eventful franchise should not be wiped-out. Players such as Les Binkley, Syl Apps Jnr., Dave Burrows, Battleship Kelly, Randy Carlyle, Rick Kehoe, Paul Gardner, and many more. They even had a live 'Penguin Mascot' in their first NHL season for home games. They later played against the USSR as part of the NHL Super Series, and many more great events, and playoff games.Don't be fooled by this collection. The marketing manager is probably under 30 years of age. Perhaps Volume 2 will deal with the first 22 seasons of the Pittsburgh Penguins from 1967 through 1989, and offer fans the rich history of this storied NHL Hockey franchise.

Great to hear Mike Lange calling these games, and great performances by the Penguins of the early '90's, and then in the Sidney Crosby era. Haven't watched all ten games yet, but very well done, especially the two Stanley Cup winning games against Minnesota, and Chicago.

Great games to watch!

I was finally able to get a listing of the 10 games. They are:1. May 25, 1991: Penguins vs. North Stars: Penguins claim their first Stanley Cup.2. June 1, 1992: Penguins vs. Blackhawks: Penguins clinch back-to-back Cups sweeping the series in four games.3. April 25, 1989: Penguins vs. Flyers: Mario Lemieux explodes for five goals and eight points in an epic playoff battle - Pittsburgh's first playoff berth since Lemieux's arrival.4. Dec. 27, 2000: Penguins vs. Maple Leafs: Mario Lemieux emerges from retirement in dramatic fashion with a goal and two assists.5. April 24, 1996: Penguins vs. Capitals: The Penguins and Capitals take four overtimes to decide Game Four of the '96 Eastern Conference quarterfinals as the Pens come out on top, 3-2.6. April 9, 1993: Penguins vs. Rangers: Penguins set NHL record with 16th consecutive win - Lemieux erupts for five goals.7. Oct. 24, 2006: Penguins vs. Devils: The 18-, 19- and 20-year-old trio of Jordan Staal, Sidney Crosby, and Evgeni Malkin all score a goal; Malkin's being a highlight for the ages, in a 4-2 win over Martin Brodeur and the Devils.8. May 10, 2001: Penguins vs. Sabres: Darius Kasparaitis joins the rush and scores the OT winner in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference semifinals.9. Dec. 13, 2006: Penguins vs. Flyers: Sidney Crosby has a six-point night to take over the NHL scoring lead in only his sophomore season.10. April 13, 1991: Penguins vs. Devils: Frank Pietrangelo makes what is simply known as `The Save' in a 4-3 win in Game Six of the Patrick Division semifinals.As I do not know the quality of the film since I haven't seen them yet (releases in November), my rating is based off the games included. I docked the set 1 star, as I am very, very disappointed that no pre-Lemieux games were included in the fans voting.

I really like this collection of hockey games. I love my Pittsburgh Penguins and with this I can watch games anytime.

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?
