DVD Reviews of WHA Chronicles
DVD Review: For Die-Hard WHA Fans
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a long-time WHA fan from San Diego, and picked this up because it had the 1977 WHA All-Star Game on it. The San Diego Mariners were in first place in the Western Division at the All-Star break, and ended up with a bunch of players on the All-Star team (Lacroix, Ferguson, Noris, Shmyr, Morrison).
Lots of other stars were in this game - of course Hull, Howe & JC Tremblay, but there is Bernier, Tardif, Stapleton, Ftorek and many others.
My take is that the WHA in 1976-77 was not very much improved over the WHA from 1974-75... the oldtime NHLers are now all 2 years older, and there are only a few young superstars added to the mix (Hedberg, Nillson). Gone are Cheevers and Frank Mahovlich.
The announcers for the All-Star game are really quite bad, they make a lot unintersting and almost derogatory comments, and totally miscall the first goal scored by the West, insisting again and again that it was Bobby Hull who scored the goal, when it was obviously Paul Shmyr.
The Quebec-Winnipeg game turns into a rout... and the "host" ruins the game by telling you who wins, even before the game starts... the game could have been somewhat exciting, if you didn't know how it would end. It starts out and keeps up at a high pace - and J.C. Tremblay's long goal in the 2nd period is a classic.

Description of WHA Chronicles
The legendary World Hockey Association came into existence in a maelstrom of hype, ridicule and outrage when it took on the NHL as a rival pro league in 1972. For seven roller coaster seasons the upstart league barnstormed through cities all over North America bringing with it a cast of characters straight out of Slapshot. Together now for the first time ever on any format, an authorized retrospective that captures the essence of the WHA. The only four complete WHA sanctioned games in existence in any quality plus some incredible highlights and brand new interviews with Bobby Hull and Wayne Gretzky. * USSR at New England, December 27, 1976 * All Star Game, January 18, 1977 * AVCO Cup Final: Winnipeg at Quebec, May 26, 1977 * AVCO Cup Final: Edmonton at Winnipeg, May 20, 1979 * Fight Reel * Bobby Hull and Wayne Gretzky Interviews * Stats Package * WHA History FeatureBestsellers in DVD
