Pittsburgh Penguins 10 greatest games
Picked this up today and was looking forward to watching it. Popped in the Pens vs North Stars and the quality was horrible, almost unwatchable. The game is from 91 and I watched it on ESPN classics and it was fine. Havent had a chance to check out the other discs. Are the other games horrible quality also?

i have the boxset but i havent checked it yet but i will. i do have the north stars game from a dvd giveaway a couple years ago and the quality was pretty bad on that, and i imagine its probably the same as the new set. it gets quite blurry with all the action going on but its still better than my old worn out VHS.
my real complaint about the set though is that game one of the 92 finals against the blackhawks isnt on it, it wasnt up for the voting from what i understand, and i think its the 3rd greatest game in penguins history behind the 2 cup clinchers.

I'm disappointed to hear the quality of the games may bad on this set. I've been close to buying it several times, even though I'm a Blues fan not a Penguins fan. It's just always seemed interesting and I'm always up for more hockey on DVD, considering how very little there is.

I ordered it through DDD (it was like $19.34 or so during the 20% off sale) and have watched some of the 96 playoff game against Washington and the 2001 game 7 against Buffalo and the quality was good.

I personally stick with my old 20" tube TV when I watch these kinds of DVD's, and they're really much more tolerable in terms of viewing quality. And it even adds to the nostalgic quality to do so - for me anyways.

The NHL channel, which was recently added to my cable lineup, has some great one hour shows called "Classic Series" where they'll show a past playoff or cup final series with game highlights and some post-game interviews clips thrown in. I've watched a few of the Pens ones already and they're very well done. They would make good future DVD releases also, similar to what the NFL network did with the "America's Game" series.

i checked the quality of the North Stars game on the WB set and its the same quality as the one given at the game. pretty bad but its nice to have anyway.
