 Good Bio, great extra: Winter Classic Game 2008Oct 08, 2008
By ChadGKG
"ChadGKG"
The DVD is a good story on Crosby's 2007-2008 season (with a little build-up on the Penguins, then on Crosby himself). The biography itself is good. There isn't much as far as highlights go. This is definitely more of a biography of Crosby than it is a highlight reel. The feature runs about 80 minutes.
My complaints are with the production. The DVD is shown in widescreen format, but it's not a true widescreen for those with widescreen TVs, it's like a matted picture. Crosby's voice having the echo effect did not help present it well, but it wasn't too annoying after a few times of hearing it.
The other complaint goes to marketing. The NHL Winter Classic game is included as an extra. A game that DESERVED it's own DVD, and will surely help sales of this DVD is just an extra on this DVD. It's (true) widescreen format, so it's a great picture of the game and worth the price for this extra alone.
I haven't gotten to see any of the extras which include: Captian Crosby, Crosby the Communicator, The Draft Lottery, Face of the League, Behind the Scenes - Gatorade Commercial Shoot, Personal Stories, Sid and the Kids, Sid's Super Skills, and the already mentioned 2008 Winter Classic game in it's entirity.

 Sidney Crosby On the Ica and BeyondJan 19, 2009
By Shalonda Haynes
This is an amazing video. If you are not a hockey fane before watching this video, you will be afterwards. This video is well directed and follows Sid through his trials an tibulations on and off the ice. Enjoy!

Not even a Penguins fan but this rocked!Oct 30, 2008
By The Robo
"Sidney Crosby: On The Ice and Beyond" is a documentary that covers a bit of Sid's life but mainly focuses on the Pittsburgh Penguins' run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2008. It is an extremely well-shot documentary and as a filmmaker myself, I can only say that I wish I had been a part of its production! Excellent hockey footage and a seamless storyline are integrated into this film about a kid that changed a city and is really the face of the NHL. With this film, you get a behind the scenes look at what it really means to be an all-star NHL'er and I'd recommend it to any hockey fanatic out there!

Where's the sequel?Jun 14, 2011
By lucysnow
"lucysnow1851"
There are many reasons why I love Sidney Crosby, all of which are displayed in this dvd. We get to know not only who Sid is personally, but we get Sid's interactions with teammates, game footage mic'ed up, doing charity events, accepting the Dapper Dan award, and playing in the Stanley Cup final to name a few. The special features are amazing, and include the Winter Classic from 2008. Spoiler: the last lines Sid utters is about not being a Stanley Cup winner, but he did win the Cup the very next year. Bottom line: Sid is an amazing player but also someone you can really look up to and respect. We need a sequel because I'm totally hooked!
