Los Angeles Kings: 2012 Stanley Cup Champions [Blu-ray]



FANTASTIC!!!
I have been a Kings fan for close to 40 years and this has been a long time coming. This is a really good DVD. It starts with a little History, first the Kings were Part of the 1967 Expansion that doubled the size of the NHL. We are shown our Early Superstars such as Rogie Vachon and the Triple crown Line, which included Marcel Dionne, Charley Simmer and Dave Taylor. Then we move up to the Gretzky Era and center on that 1993 Stanley Cup Run where they Kings played an exciting and excellent semi finals against Toronto winning in seven and unfortunately falling short in the finals against the Montreal Canadians. The we are show this team and a little bit of how it was built from within. How this team had great hopes before the season but with a very tough early session that resulted in the Firing of the Coach Terry Murray and bringing in Darryl Sutter to replace him, it was a big key to the season. We also see how the Kings' brought up two keys players (King and Nolan) both big hard...

Great Package!!!
If you're a Kings fan I'd imagine you're going to buy this item after waiting a long time to see them win the Stanleyy Cup...But the blu-ray package should be your choice, for no other reason than the bonus material...But first the overall presentation is great, with the biggest emphasis being on the Kings playoff run including every game along their run..The picture quality is great and sound is awesome, you get a few tidbits from behind the scenes of what goes on during the Kings season...But like I said the best part is the bonus material, with extra footage of the locker room celebration,the on ice Cup celebration, and the Victory parade, plus the 5 minute PP that practically buried the NJ Devils in the clinching game...In my opinion these extras make this blu-ray worth the price and should be the standard for other Sports Championship Videos...

Too much talk, not enough hockey.
The story was good, but I wanted to see more hockey played than talked about. It was a good team, the fellas were interesting, but what they could do on ice was the reason I bought the disc.
