DVD Reviews of WHA Chronicles
DVD Review: The WHA Chronicles
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes it was a rebel league, but you can't help loving them for challenging the stranglehold that the NHL had on professional hockey at the time. The WHA changed hockey forever. It's really hard to believe that there is so little video evidence left of the league. This 3-disc DVD set captures all the moments that are left from the rival league of the 70's. I highly recommend it to all hockey fans. It is a great historical document. I can't wait to watch it again.DVD Review: Best you'll get
Summary: 4 Stars
Considering the time and types of transmissions for the period, this is a tresure for Nords, WHA, and Hockey fans in general. There just are not many real WHA videos out there and this one is worth the look if the price is right. The highlight is old building the Nordiques called home. Young fans will get a chuckle out of the atire of the locals, and all fans will be surprised at the pace of the action. This league and this period was not the birth of the trap.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.
