Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Not The Best Choice of Games, But Still Great
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: 10 Greatest games... you decide.

First of all I would like to say as a Penguins fan it's always nice to have games with super stars like Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr on hand to watch when you feel like it. It's great to be able to have old great matches on DVD (my VHS recordings of vintage games have been ruin by fungus).
10 Greatest Penguins games? Well, I don't know about that because I can recall matches in the past that I would of like to see on this DVD set... for example, the 1992 playoffs against the Bruins where Mario had 2 awesome goals, and Jagr did this back-handed goal by extending both arms to the opposite side of the net (if I remembered correctly).
Well anyway, it's still a good DVD set to have. One set of DVDs where you can watch legends like Lemieux and Jagr... and upcoming greats like Crosby and Malkin.
Maybe I'm just asking for too much...
