Sports reviews of NHL - Pittsburgh Penguins - 10 Greatest Games

Customer Review: Should be called Mario's greatest games
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

As others have mentioned, some of the game selections are rather poor. They seem to have chosen games where the Pens scored a lot of points, not necesarily games that were very intense. I also own the Edmonton Oilers 10 greatest games, and the selection of games were MUCH better - they have some from every era (Wayne, post Wayne, and recent from their last cup run). They had only 1 blowout, and that was a stanely cup winning game, so I can forgive it. Most the games were close, very exciting, and very intense.

A couple of the Pittsburgh games have been that, but mostly it seems to be a collection of high-scoring games, where Mario gets 5-8 points, and the Pens steamroll someone. That kind of thing is fine for 1 or 2 of the games, but when it seems to be half of them or more, it gets old, especially when the Pens have so many great games to choose from.

Customer Review: Crosby games already?
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

I'm guessing, maybe HOPING, that there aren't many pre 80's games available in their entirety. They 5 goal 5 ways, Mario's first game ever, clinching the Rangers series without Mario and Joey, even the series loser against the Isles dynasty should have been included. Perhaps th Primeau game as well? Here's hoping for volume II.

Customer Review: poor choice of games
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

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?

Customer Review: A belated perspective
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

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.
