Excellent film recapping the Devils drive to their second Stanley Cup Championship. Well done sequel to Heaven, the Devils original Stanley Cup movie. Not as many off ice stories as in the original film, i.e., Detroit octopus, the Devils bus driver, pre game rituals, etc., but very good game action coverage. Follows the team through their playoff series against Florida, Toronto, Philadelphia and finally Dallas for the Stanley Cup Championship. The drama in the conference finals and Stanley Cup finals is well documented. Great game sound bytes from the players. Larry Robinson should strongly be considered for an Academy Award for Best Director.

The 2000 Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils proved to the world that they are a powerhouse in the NHL. This video shows the Devils historical run to North America's most storied trophy. All hockey fans(except Rangers fans) should check this video out to relive the excitement of the NHL playoffs. (Ranger fans would not know the what this video is about due to the fact that they have not seen the playoffs in 3 years! ). Repeat in 2001! Let's go Devils!

I very much enjoy watching this show. It captures the spirit of the Devil's playoff run and all the obstacle they faced -- it goes back to the 1995 Stanley Cup and the trials and travails from then on. It is a nice insider view of how different players and members of the team dealt with the challenges along the way.

I was hoping it would have more coverage of Elias and Sykora. It was surprising that they were just briefly mentioned toward the end of the show. Also, I would have liked the program to be longer and have more clips from the playoff games. The total run time is about 50 minutes. I do recommend the product however.

Claude Lemieux is the main reason
why the Devils won in 1995, and in 2000.
The video tape or DVD is worth buying.
Claude Lemieux also made history as
being the only player in history to
win the cup for two different teams.
Claude Lemieux has won more cups
than Mario Lemieux. Claude won it in 1986
1995 1996 and 2000. Let's hope that the
Devils and Lou Lamoreillo obtains this
great player who really is the heart and
soul of the devils.Claude is known also
for his famous punch he gave to Kris Draper
#33 of the Detroit Red Wings. That was
a beautiful punch Draper received in the face.
please take advantage of the opportunity when
watching claude lemieux, players like him
are scare, good players, but who are growing
older and once he is gone, he is gone from
the scene.

i have to say that regardless of what people say is that claude lemieux is a lucky man who also has the talent and who brought the cup to new jersey in 2000. he was the reason the devils one it in 1995 and in 2000. this video is good i should the interviews, etc. and it is worth buying, but i must say that it does not matter what any other man or women thinks. claude is the reason the devils won in 2000!!! and if there is no claude the drought will occur for several years. is it a coincidence that the devils took five long years to get it back again? No. since the 1995 win claude was not there but else where and so it took five years to regain it back.
