"The most underrated professional sport in America today, this DVD shows just how much heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears players put into hockey. This DVD, showing the Cinderella-esque run that the Tampa Bay Lightning made on their road to Stanley Cup victory, shows just that. Any NHL or Lightning fan will remember how just a few years ago the Lightning were the laughing stock of the entire NHL. For a few years straight they were the worst team in the league, and instead of going over budget and signing big name players (they couldn't if they wanted to however, since not much cash had been put into the team) they built their championship foundation through the draft and trades like historic teams such as the Colorado Avalanche and New Jersey Devils had done in years past. Martin St. Louis. Brad Richards. Vincent Lecavalier. Dave Andreychuk. Nikolai Khabibulen. These are just a few players who catapaulted the Lightning to success during the regular season, and managed to topple over the Calgary Flames in their dramatic Game seven victory. This DVD is an absolute must own for Lightning fans or NHL fans in general, and it's about the only NHL action we fans will be seeing for a while with the Lockout in full effect, and a sad uncertainty whether or not the NHL will ever be again."

"It is always good to know what you are talking about when watching hockey! In the 7 years being a season ticket holder for the Bolts, I have watched some awful teams. In the last 3 years they started looking different on the ice. This DVD provides what I have seen for those past years. The togetherness, the work ethic to do the job asked of them. Everytime ANY of this team was/is interviewed, they say the exact same thing about working as a team, about skating hard and believing in each other. These boys got the same book and were on the same page the entire season. The extra stuff shows the things we knew were going on but were afraid to ask.
This team had fun this year and because it was fun they learned to win and move on to the next game if they lost. I still get chills hearing the radio call, hearing the announcers at the end of the game on the TV highlights and watching this video. It was AWESOME to be there and is still very cool! (no pun intended)
Lillis: NO ONE can know the real truth about that goal. Camera angles on that one were not great and definitely not conclusive."

"This DVD is awesome. Anyone who followed the Stanley Cup Playoffs would not be dissapointed with the coverage NHL productions did on this DVD. IT has a full broadcast of Game 7 on it as well as interviews with Martin St. Louis and Brad Richards and a full bio on the lightnings season and Playoff run. Buy it while u can cause it shows why the lightning are the STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS :)."
THE MIRACLE TEAM

"a few years ago, the tampa bay lightning were probably the WORST team in the league. they couldnt do anything great and LET other teams beat them out to the playoffs. Until now... Let me tell you something, to start off with...the tampa bay lightning is probably the main thing that has kept me living. This team is the best reason to wake up in the morning, they are the definition of hockey, and make it from a sport, a game, to life. Dave Andreychuck, Vincent Lecavlier, Marty St. Louis, Nikolai Khabibulin and Brad Richards, leading this team this year to beat out NYI, first team to sweep Montreal, defeat philly (a worthy opponent) and come bak against calgalry being down 3-2 in games. Lord Stanley has chosen this team, they do the things u can only imagine, and mostly the things u cant, and as a team, they have won the greatest prize of all- LORD STANLEY'S CUP. i cant wait to buy this dvd, and i think every tampa bay lightning fan, or even evry hockey fan, should def. consider getting it. THe dvd of a lifetime..."

"I really liked the Game 7 piece. Nice to see that. The review of how they went from the 96 season to cellar-dwellers back to Champs was interesting. Cool to see all the playoff action too. I would have liked to see more of the Philly series. That was a great series and worth having more video of that. Too bad some of the Flames fans are still upset about the puck that didn't go in. "Almost" goals don't count. You gotta get the puck across the line, not partially. No sour grapes in Lightning-Land though. They were the better team though the Flames were a great team too. Classic series."
