The title "Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Champions Special Edition" led me to believe that this DVD set included the season recap and championship video in addition to the finals games. I mostly wanted the recap, but I was willing to pay a few more bucks to have the recap and all the games from the finals. However as other reviewers have already pointed out, this is simply a bare bones DVD of the finals games with no special features, no regular season recap, no highlights from the other series, no intermission coverage, and no locker-room celebration after the win. Nothing but the actual games. Which is OK, but not what I wanted.
Now to see the recap they want me to fork out another $20? Ridiculous. |

By biggest grip with this package is that they didn't bother to put anything extra. Why not include the open and close of each game? This is more of a coach's copy, periods only, they do offer the celebration at the end of game six, but don't bother to hang around for the team picture, and of course there is no time for the game highlight montage.
The celebration, really every game just cuts off quickly, did they run out of time? I don't understand that kind of half done producing. As mentioned by another reviewer, this package does not come with the other Stanley Cup video, again, I would say why not? If you can put the entire game 5 on one disc, why not put the series show at the end...oh, I know, just go out and buy that one too (classic consumerism tactic).
I'm a long time Red Wing fan, but I would only recommend this if you were not able to watch the games and really wanted to see how it played out. Or you could buy the other video. That one is mixed bag too, they used many different cameras, not mixing in much from the actual telecast, and they edit it together so fast that you don't really get to enjoy the actual highlights as much, the creative editing was more important.
Overall, the games package is barely produced & the series highlights video is overdone. |

I was duped. I thought that, by buying this DVD set, that I would also get the NHL season recap video for the Wings. But, nooooo. I ended up having to go out and buy that DVD as well.
I watched each of these games. I video-taped each of these games. Someday, this set will probably be nice to have. But buyer beware, if you are buying this to get the Red Wings 2008-09 season recap video, it's not in there.
That should have been made more clear. |
