Customer Review: Quit complaining you baby!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This review is in response to the NJ Devil crybaby. If this set was related to your favorite NHL team, you'd be ecstatic. Go review something else or just wait until your favorite team's set is released (if it's the Devils, it'll probably be soon enough anyway).
This set is aimed at NY Ranger fans & also hockey fans in general.
I think it's a great idea to put post seasons on DVDs (in their entirety) b/c of the fact that the people that buy this are probably the same ones that have VHS tapes of them in their closet... obsolete VHS tapes that can't be used unless you still have a VHS player. It's very hard to find VHS players around where I live so I'm desperately (like a housewive) hoping that my teams will be lucky enough to be next in line for one of these sets.
Please release more of these sets, I don't really care who the team is or what the sport is (basketball, baseball & hockey preferred since their post-seasons are longer). I'm a huge sports fan in general (there's a lot of people like me) and I love these 'complete postseason/complete game'd in entirety' sets that are related to older seasons... I own the recently released White Sox & NY Mets sets & I'll probably be buying this set in the near future as well. The sets I have are great & I totally expect this set to be the same since it's put together the same way.
Just one request though: stay with the pre-early '90s years (expansion messed up every sport, everything is watered down, please stick with the season's that had better caliber teams & players... ask any older fan & they'll tell you, expansion has made most sports BORING. See the recent Olympics/world participation events for proof...)
Keep up the good work!!! Keep 'em coming!!!
Customer Review: beyond great
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
First of all, just because this info is missing in the listing, here are the details on the broadcast crews:
NJ-NYR series
Game 1--ESPN 2 w/ Sean McDonough and Brian Engblom.
Game 5--CBC w/ Chris Cuthbert and John Garrett
The rest are ESPN with the annoying Gary "he did it! he did it!" Thorne and Bill Clement.
Van-NYR series
The Final is thankfully all MSG Network feed with Sam "it's a powerplay goal" Rosen and John Davidson. Being a Canuck fan this was heaven not having to listen to the dreadful Bob "where are the Make Belief players?" Cole and Harry "is the bar open?" Neale.
All games axe the commercials and intermissions. the pic quality varies from amazing to the odd times, esp. the ESPN ones, where it's a tad off.
The jackets to each DVD have the scores and stats on them so if you do want to watch this fresh and don't remember the scores of each game, be forewarned. You will learn the score if you glance at the jackets.
Other than that, you know the hockey is great although much of the NJ-NYR series is, to be honest, frankly dull when NJ do the trap especially the overtimes where not much happens. Plus as you watch games 1 thru 5 and even two periods into game 6, you wonder how the NYR ever won this series. The Final is far more entertaining hockey by a country mile.
The bonus DVD on the Cup run has plenty of clips of both the NYR and Van runs to the Final as well as a ton of great I've never seen before behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. They also toss on the Messier Retirement Night (sponsored by Kleenex, as Mike Richter says).
Customer Review: Now I can die in peace!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was just 18 when my New York Rangers finally overcame the odds and won the coveted Stanley Cup. I've seen some reviews from obvious (in the immortal Steve Somers' words) Ice-lander and Devils fans refering to "buying" a Cup (which is mostly untrue, as we traded young talent for more proven talent, which would bite us later as the traded players became stars elsewhere), but what they fail to realize was the amazing hockey that took place...the semi-finals against the Devils will go down as one of the greatest hockey series of all time! As a Rangers fan, I can personally attest to many heart-stopping moments where it appeared the Rangers were destined to miss out yet again, but thanks to Messier, Leetch, Richter, Graves, Tikkanen and, of course, MATTEAU! MATTEAU! MATTEAU!, the Rangers overcame the past and claimed one of the most dramatic Cup victories of all-time.
It shouldn't matter what team you root for, the story of the 1994 Playoffs was GREAT HOCKEY! If you are a true hockey fan, you should enjoy these discs as much as I will. And if you're a Rangers fan, it'll be worth it just to see Ron Hextall getting yanked in Game One of the opening round and not taking off his mask on the bench in embarrassment as the Rangers blew out (and later swept) the Ice-landers.
By the way, the Devils are doing great now that you can't grab and pull down every player that comes near you, aren't they?
Customer Review: One of the best Stanley Cup moments in NHL history
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Mark Messier swore he would give everything he had to bring the Stanley Cup back to New York. In 1994, Messier captained the historic Stanley Cup winning New York Rangers team after guaranteeing the team's Game 7 victory of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Devils, and facing off against the Vancouver Canucks in the Cup Finals that went all seven games. The team led by Messier and coached by Mike Keenan, included future hall of famers and role players including Brian Leetch, Adam Graves, Mike Richter, Alexi Kovalev, Sergei Zubov, Kevin Lowe, Alexander Karpovtsev, and Jeff Beukeboom; all of whom played extremely important roles in the team's victory. This DVD collection features all the games from the Eastern Conference Finals and the Cup Finals; and every magic moment in between: Stephane Matteau's game winning goal against the Devils, Richter stoning Canucks sniper Pavel Bure in a penalty shot, and Messier hoisting up the Cup with a fan holding a sign saying "Now I Can Die in Peace". It's indeed one of the greatest moments in NHL history, and for Rangers fans, well, you already know that this is a must own.Customer Review: Why are you even here, Devils fans?
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It's pretty funny that these Devils fans are writing reviews. Why are they even here in the first place? Oh, maybe they want to learn why the "World's Most Overrated Arena", as one reviewer called it, attracts thousands of people with sell-out crowds and fans that are crazy and will kick your ---. Yeah that's right, the Devils don't even have enough of their own fans to fill up the Meadowlands. That's why you see more Blue shirts and hear "Let's go Rangers" at every Devils game in NJ.
Let's not forget that the Devils need to retire more than one number in a year to just try and match the level of excitement that comes from retiring a number at MSG....and still, it doesn't even come close.
By the way, last time I checked Rangers were still up a cup on the Devils. A cup is still a cup no matter when it was won. Better luck at Newark, fans...
PS - Let's go rangers! MVP for Jagr! HENRIK is awesome!
