"Hey folks, what can I say, I did it again. Just the way I like, over 1 hour of the greatest NHL action, with no fillers. Only the best NHL hits, saves, goals, bloopers and more. Blue also added all the great playoff action, including Calgary's march to the finals. Music tracks by The Trews, Reef U.K. and MC Mario. Don Cherry 16 - It's like me, getting better every year."
