Bruins fans get this dvd set.
First I must say the negative reviews here are not mostly directed at this dvd set but at Warner and what they didn't include and the fact that there is no Blu-Ray. I do agree that this could have been released in Blu-Ray and that would have been awesome, the encoding could have been better as they put all the contents in 5 dvds... but it wasn't...so let's move on. Don't let the reviews steer you away from this set.If your a true hockey fan, specifically a Bruins fan in this case, then this is a must have. I see nothing wrong with the entire dvd set and it's contents. You get game 7 vs Tampa and all winning games in the Finals. The encoding is fine,the picture is not like an old VHS tape, it's more than perfectly watchable. If you have a upscale dvd player or a blu-ray or PS3 that will upscale the picture, it's even better. What your buying is pure Bruins bliss. It's the U.S. feed with Mike Emrick, who we all know is awesome and gets totally into the action. We could have gotten the Hockey Night in Canada feed with Jim Hughson which would have made me kill myself he's so awful. Every part of each game is there. How can you complain? I can't help but still get into every part of each game. Besides the fact I still have 2 HD DVRs filled with Bruins playoff games, and the entire Stanley Cup Series, I've watched this more than a few times and still get into it.Are you a Bruins fan? Don't you want to see Tim make his Godly saves, ala Grant Fuhr? Do you want to see the Sedin sisters get totally shut down, Boychuck and Ference lay guys out, Marchand pester and get under each Canucks skin, the entire team stand up to the cheap unsportsmanlike play tactics like one of the Sedins that made a run at Marchand AFTER the whistle and when Marchand ducks and flips him they cry because it was dangerous even though Sedin's intent was to cheap shot Marchand, or when Henrick whacking Tim's stick out of his hands because they knew they were outmatched and out muscled, Tim knocks him right on his back, Lucic sticking fingers in Burrow's face and on another occurrence gives him a nice shot to the back of the legs then a punch to the face when he whacks Tim on a covered puck and of course the hit from Aaron Rome on Horton that results in a complete Bruins assalut.How can you not have this?

Excellent overview of season and behind the scenes
Obviously, you can't fit an entire hockey season onto one DVD, but if you're looking for a way to enjoy the highlights of Boston's incredible 2011 Stanley Cup season, you'll want this DVD. Not only do you get a well-edited chronology of the season's key games (and plays), the the DVD takes you behind the scenes to see the other side of the story. I admit that I get emotional about our Bruins (just like the Red Sox)... and I found myself cheering plays that I'd already seen... the Bruins' 2011 season story is told that well. Even if you've memorized every play from every game, you'll still find yourself glued to your screen. We've waited a long time for this... and, like our Red Sox, the Bruins have justified our faith over the years. In fact, writing this review has made me want to head for the living room and watch the DVD again... my "errands" can wait because I'm going to get to relive hockey history.

Just what I was looking for!
This DVD had a detailed look back at the playoff run. I wanted to re-live the emotions & the ups & downs I went through. This DVD made that happen! I have several champoinship DVD'S & this is one of the better ones. After watching, I wanted to watch it again because I cant get enough of the Bruins Championship playoff run. This might just be me being picky but I wished there were a little more emotion, footage, drama & Bruins highlights. Some key moments were missing. Not to mention, more player interview's. I would have liked them to show off how good Vancouver was to really get a sence of how amazing this was. I wanted those around me to understand what was going on rather than explaining what is going on, so they really get the sence of it.(These are non sports fans). This is something I noticed in most of the Championship DVD'S I have. But this DVD did better than most. I am a critical, with that said but its fully worth buying. It is done well to make any Bruins fan want it. They did a great job with what was covered, I loved it!

I don't know...
I bought this a gift for someone. She loved it so much, that she refused to actually open it and watch it. So it's sitting on display, still in the wrapping, as it has become a collector's item to her. If you like the Bruins, I'm pretty sure that this is an amazing DVD to watch, or to just stare at, as she does. I gave it 5 stars for both uses.

Exciting Bruins Stanley Cup Video 2011
This DVD is great for any Boston Bruins fan looking to relive the 2010-2011 Stanley Cup Championship season! I bought this for my husband and we ended up buying another copy for my brother and my husband's father. We love watching our favorite team again and again.

Great DVD capturing the championship season
A must for any Bruins fan! To see them overcome their obstacles, to come out of nowhere to win the Stanley Cup is very remarkable. The 39-year drought is over, and this DVD is great to cherish this historical moment.
