"17 Seconds," is a documentary created by the Chicago Blackhawks that depicts the 2013 Stanley Cup championship game versus the Boston Bruins. While I could go on for days about how the film was perfected and inspirational, the only way I will be able to do the video justice is by telling you to simply WATCH IT!!!

 So remarkably done, the documentary walks the viewer through all of the emotions and joy that come from not only winning a championship game, but winning it in style. As depicted in the film, the Chicago Blackhawks would score 2 goals in 17 seconds to clinch the Stanley Cup Championship. While this extraordinary event may not seem so extravagant to some, for others it was a miracle. The Chicago Blackhawks filming crew does a marvelous job to say the least, and captures some of the most remarkable footage of a team who fought till the last second. 

From the players hoisting the Stanley Cup, to the post game locker room festivities, and even to the parade, the film is in short just remarkable. While most of us are not NHL payers who won a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks, the film takes us into the back seat of the lives of our players. 

One of my favorite parts of the film is the depiction of the Stanley Cup parade through the city of Chicago. Even though most of us were there to witness the millions of people who came out in dedication and celebration for our home team, not many of us were able to see what it was like from one of the busses. The footage from the perspective of the players as they make their way through the seas of red fans is just utterly jaw dropping. With crystal clear blue-ray picture, the video makes you feel as though you are apart of the same excitement that the players got to live. 

Although you may think the video is just one party after another, the film slows down and depicts the life-style of the players at their homes with the Cup. With a sneak peak into their private lives, the viewers are granted access into the lives of the players without the non-stop party of winning a championship seems to portray. 

Nonetheless, I recommend all of the Chicago Blackhawk fans out there to go out and buy the film, or at least watch it. For those like me, it will be footage that I can one day show later on day the road as evidence of the greatest 17 seconds in Chicago Blackhawks history.
