100 Years of the Montreal Canadiens - Say what you want about Leaf Nation, the fact is, most Canadians identify the Habs as the national team, and for good reason. They've won more Stanley Cups than any other team in history, and this boxed set explores each one in beautiful blue, red and white. More fun than a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame, and guaranteed to fill you with puck pride.

Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em Hockey 21- For some of us, sitting down on a Saturday afternoon to watch some first-class pummeling has become a Christmas tradition that rivals Boxing Day cashier lines for brutality. Once again, Grapes squeezes the very best of the big hits into the compilation - without, miraculously, celebrating senseless violence on the ice.
