4.0 out of 5 stars
Not completely unedited and uncut....,
By
This review is from: NHL Original Six Series - The New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup Champions (DVD)
Clearly 5 stars for the overall quality and packaging of this set (even includes Mark Messier Night as a bonus.) However, I take away a star for the games not being completely uncut (e.g., the end of Game 6 vs. Devils - the skirmish between Anderson & Nichols is edited out.) A relatively minor point perhaps since no game time is lost, but this is still annoying and totally unnecessary. Regardless, a nice and overdue DVD addition to any hockey fan's library--especially Rangers fans! Also, die-hard Ranger fans beware: some games are taken from the ESPN feeds, so no Sam & J.D. Although it is interesting to see and hear these games via a different lens and commentary, I was a bit disappointed in this production choice for some of these games.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best Stanley Cup moments in NHL history,
By N. Durham "Big Evil" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: NHL Original Six Series - The New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup Champions (DVD)
Mark Messier swore he would give everything he had to bring the Stanley Cup back to New York. In 1994, Messier captained the historic Stanley Cup winning New York Rangers team after guaranteeing the team's Game 7 victory of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Devils, and facing off against the Vancouver Canucks in the Cup Finals that went all seven games. The team led by Messier and coached by Mike Keenan, included future hall of famers and role players including Brian Leetch, Adam Graves, Mike Richter, Alexi Kovalev, Sergei Zubov, Kevin Lowe, Alexander Karpovtsev, and Jeff Beukeboom; all of whom played extremely important roles in the team's victory. This DVD collection features all the games from the Eastern Conference Finals and the Cup Finals; and every magic moment in between: Stephane Matteau's game winning goal against the Devils, Richter stoning Canucks sniper Pavel Bure in a penalty shot, and Messier hoisting up the Cup with a fan holding a sign saying "Now I Can Die in Peace". It's indeed one of the greatest moments in NHL history, and for Rangers fans, well, you already know that this is a must own.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Should have been fantastic,
By R. Burden "righty" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NHL Original Six Series - The New York Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup Champions (DVD)
This week, while being home from work, I was able to view the entire 7 game series against the Devils. I haven't seen the final series yet. I enjoyed the entire series although I was a bit disappointed in a number of things regarding this DVD set. Unfortunately for Rangers fans, they use ESPN broadcasts for all but 1 game. The other game they use a Canadian Cable channel broadcast. I'm pretty sure these games were broadcast on the Rangers regular MSG network and that is what should be on these disks. Sam Rosen and John Davidson far surpass the announcer combinations on these disks. I also would have loved to hear the different calls of the Matteau goal at the end of Game 6, especially the famous Howie Rose radio call (Matteau!! Matteau!! Matteau!). There were definite technical difficulties with blurry footage for during some of the games which was very annoying. Plus, I wish they could have included some interviews of former players with their remembrances of each game as well as some pregame and postgame thoughts and interviews. Those would have been a fantastic addition to this series. Those things hold down the number of stars I give to this collection. Otherwise, it was a terrific way to relive the Rangers - Devils series.
