In perhaps what is the finest example of hockey ever captured on film, this documentary follows the New Jersey Devils through their drive to the Stanley Cup in 1995. Film has many highlights of the Devils' playoff series against Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and then the Detroit Red Wings for hockey's most coveted prize the Stanley Cup. There are also many off ice interviews with players, coaches, fans and others that will give the viewer a few interesting side notes. This movie is a true classic in its depiction of the underdog Devils coming through the playoff series and sweeping the heavily favored Red Wings in the Finals. This film is a great piece of hockey history. Well done movie, as with most good movies, look for many more sequels to be released in the coming years.

This video explains the Devils first run to the Stanley Cup championship over Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and finally Detroit to take hockey's ulimate prize. It talks how there run against the Rangers in 1994 was derailed and how they had a average season going into the playoff winning only 2 of 8 games or close to that. But upsetting Boston, Pittsburgh and Philly which were all favored to win those series and then faced Detroit. Detroit was in the finals for the first time since Gordie Howe graced the Detroit Olympia ice and they totally swept the Red Wing machine and Claude Lemieux was voted as the playoffs MVP. Now, all I need to get the "Second Heaven" about this years run to the Cup. Lets Go Devils. He Ho Two-in-a-row. (...)

This VHS was a gift for a friend, who said they enjoyed it a lot!

I must say that Claude Lemieux is the worlds luckiest man
when it comes to playing hockey and winning Stanley Cups.
He is the main reason that the Devils won in 1995. The history of Claude Lemieux is this-he won in 1986, 1995, 1996, and 2000.So, most likely while he is Dallas He could win another Cup to add to his Resume. It is rare for a hockey player to win the Stanley cup five times, six times, or even 7 times. But at the rate he is going he is sure to get them if he does not retire.
This is interesting. When the devils won in 1995, the year after they had lost because Claude was not there, and in 1996 he won it with Colorado.And it took 4 years to get the cup back for the Devils, but again Claude Lemieux was there again in New Jersey and won it for Larry Robinson. Dallas is a lucky team.
This video is good. You will like it.
