Pittsburgh Penguins 2008-2009 Stanley Cup Champions Special Edition???

PensFan66 · 11-04-09, 06:44 PM

Does anyone know if Warner Home Video is planning on releasing a Pittsburgh Penguins 2008-2009 Stanley Cup Champions Special Edition DVD set?

The past two years, when Detroit and Anaheim won the Cup, they released special editions which contained all the Stanley Cup Final games in their entirety.

I expected the Penguins S.E. to be out by the start of the season if Warner followed the same release pattern they established the past two years. But so far nothing, not even an announcement. The only thing they released was the standard highlight DVD, which they also did for Detroit and Anaheim before releasing the Special Editions.

This is kind of surprising since Sidney Crosby is one of the highest profile NHL players, and the Penguins are considered to be the fastest growing brand in the NHL. (Forbes Magazine 5/11/09 - The Pittsburgh Penguins have the fastest-growing team brand in the National Hockey League and one of the fastest-growing team brands in all of professional sports, according to a Forbes Magazine analysis published this month.)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I'm wondering (and waiting) for this myself. I've tried searching and I regularly check Amazon to see if it's added as a preorder. you're right that it should have been released by now if it followed past patterns. I wonder if the Detroit release last year was a poor seller, because as you mentioned, the Pens one should be popular, given our great fan base and the popularity of the players with NHL fans.

I guess we should call about this. If anything would have an impact, it would be letting them know there's demand for this release.
