[.ca] Nhl (National Hockey League): 2003: Stanley Cup Champions

NJ Devils: True definition of the word TEAM:
I've been a Devils fan for four years now. They are the modern warriors and they are worth the price of admission IN GOLD! Other pro teams(NBA especially)should look at the Devils as role models for teamwork and inspiration. When one man goes down, 19 are there to back him up. Leadership starts with Scott Stevens, perseverence is with Ken Daneyko, commitment is John Madden, stregnth is with Turner Stevenson, talent is with Jeff Freisen, determination is Scott Gomez, power is Patrik Elias, truth is Brian Rafalski, back bone is coach Pat Burns. These men play with lifelong dream, and boyhood memories. Buy this DVD for your young athlete. The New Jersey Devils are all about altheticism, passion, determination, and friendship. To quote Russell Crowe from "Gladiator": On my mark, unleash hell!

Great all-round coverage:
For someone who's living in a tropical climate a zillion miles (or so it seems) from anywhere an NHL game is played, this is an amazing DVD. I bought this for my sister's birthday, and it does not disappoint. ESPN Asia decided to ditch NHL for EPL (football/soccer) matches and we've been deprived of hockey for about 2 years, so we missed the 2002 - 2003 season completely. I've not fully explored the whole DVD but have watched about 70% of it. There's quite a lot of content in it. If you're a Devil's fan, you must get this. I'm not but loved it all the same. Some highlights were the full 3rd period of Devils vs. Senators, walking around with Brodeur after the final game (that was funny and cute) and the interview with the players (interspersed with highlights of each match, in the run up to the finals). Out of the other 2 DVDs I ordered at the same time (NHL All-Access, NHL: Lord Stanley's Cup) this was the most enjoyable to watch, and had the most content. Although I would definitely prefer watching each individual game live, I'll have to settle for this. I'll be getting the 2003 - 2004 season, whenever it comes out.

Disappointing:
Sorry, but I cannot agree with the other reviewers. The video misses to capture the magic and thrilling moments of the series, is full of boring interviews and does not show enough ice-hockey (why not showing a few scenes in slow motion or show some goals from different angles?). This video does not live up to the great expectations you had if you followed the series. Compared to the other nhl-videos (Detroit, Dallas) it is therefore for the objective viewer (maybe not for the die-hard Devils fan) a disappointment.

Good, but not as good as the 2000 one:
I thought this was a great dvd, but nowhere near as good as the 2000 stanley cup video. They should have done a lot more with the regular season and with the Ottawa series. But overall, a great dvd with a lot of good extras.

DEVILS RULE BABY!!!!!:
I love this tape. I became a Devils fan about 2 years ago. I will continue to route for the Stanley Cup Champion Devils!!! This is a great video. If you're a hockey fan like me than this tape is for you! A NEW JERSEY DEVILS fan for Life!!!!!!!!
