Pittsburgh Penguins 2016 Stanley Cup Champions

About This Movie

So, this is a docu piece about the Penguins’ 2016 run to the cup, right? It’s got that gritty, raw feel, just like the city itself. You see the highs and lows of the season through a lens that feels intimate—like you’re on the ice with them or sitting in the locker room. The pacing captures the tension of playoff hockey really well, and the behind-the-scenes access is pretty unique. The focus on Sid the Kid is expected, but it showcases the whole cast's dynamics. Just a solid watch if you appreciate the sport and the stories behind the players—makes you feel like you're part of that championship journey.

This film is part of a limited run by NHL Original Productions, which adds a layer of scarcity for collectors. It’s been released in both DVD and Blu-ray formats, but finding a pristine copy can be a challenge due to the niche audience. Collectors often appreciate the candid nature of the footage, which captures the emotional highs of the players and the city during their championship run. It’s also worth noting that these types of documentaries don’t come around often, so they tend to hold their value among fans of the sport.
