Names such as Ray Bourque, Patrick Roy, Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Teemu Selanne, are legendary in the hockey world. Not only do they fill page after page in the record books, they hold a special place in the hearts and minds of hockey fans for their on-ice exploits. Now a new generation of young stars who idolized these men are making their way onto the big stage. ?Just Like Me? introduces these young phenoms as seen thru the eyes of veteran all star players. Dion Phaneuf mans the blue line as Scott Stevens once did. Brett Hull?s one-timer struck fear in the hearts of goalies throughout the league, and now net-minders tremble as Ilya Kovalchuk flies into the zone. Unbelievable highlights will show these youngsters at the top of their game, and allow the fan to get a close up look at hockey?s next generation of superstars. Product Description

Awesome Bonus Features!!!

I've slammed a couple of NHL DVD releases here on Amazon, which is why I suddenly felt moved to actually write a positive review of this disc, as it most certainly exceeded my expectations. Why? Well, the main program itself is just fine, with plenty of hockey highlights and a minumum of the boring non-hockey "up close and personal" material that crippled the recent "NHL All-Access" disc. But what really prompted me to post a review of this disc is to alert people to three bonus videos that are mentioned nowhere on the DVD packaging (or on this Amazon page): The entire 28-minute 2004 jersey retirement ceremony for Mike Richter at Madison Square Garden, the entire 26-minute 2006 ceremony for Scott Stevens at Continental Airlines Arena, and, at 52 minutes, the 2007 ceremony for Steve Yzerman at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Outstanding!--and well worth the price of the disc for these three videos alone. August 24, 2008
