god people are stupid, its not the only team to beat the red wings twice in a row, its the only team to beat Scotty Bowman twice in a row.

Hey WingsFights, thanks so much for uploading these videos. I think this was the greatest rivalry in hockey. Playing each other almost 6 years straight in the playoffs from 96-2002, these games were unbelievable!

Thanks.

The ONLY team to beat Detriot 2 years in a row...Sakic is the best!

@muska114

Not quite. The Gretzky-led Oilers defeated the Red Wings in the WCF in 1987 and 1988.

There may be other instances that I can't think of off the top of my head, though.

@howlincoyote2k1

only team to beat scotty bowman coached teams two years in a row in 7 game series

[TUdaToken]

@muska114 in the modern era, in original six it was normal to lose consecutive years against a team lol

[VancouverChokers]

@TUdaToken Well San Jose's now beat Detroit two years in a row too

[TUdaToken]

@VancouverChokers yeaaa I think I knew that already, the Sharks have had our number, got our old assistant coach that helps a lot

[VancouverChokers]

@TUdaToken yeah even as an old-time Avs fan part of me wanted the Wings to beat the sharks this year so they could take out Vancouver. Vancouver's the team I hate most in hockey now, to me they epitomize everything that's wrong with the sport.

[TUdaToken]

@VancouverChokers really?!?! I'm a fan of all Canadien teams particulary the ones in the West, what did the Canucks do to make u despise them, division rivals right?

[VancouverChokers]

@TUdaToken nah it's not the division rivals thing. it's the way they play the game. it's Torres taking cheapshots at Chicago players in the playoffs, it's Burrows biting Bergeron's finger (I don't buy the excuse that Bergeron would stick his finger in Burrows' mouth), it's the Sedins flopping like it's a soccer game, it's Rome's dirty hit on Horton, it's their whiny GM who complains about officiating and it's their fans who were arrogant throughout the playoffs and are for the most part idiots

[TUdaToken]

@VancouverChokers plus I still remember Montreal fans booing Crosby despite him leading their country to the Gold Medal

[VancouverChokers]

@TUdaToken Montreal fans booing Crosby is OK by me. I'm not a Montreal fan, but call me a Crosby hater.

[TUdaToken]

@VancouverChokers I'm pretty much too, I'm a die hard Wings fan, I've experienced the worst of him, I respect the hell out of his talent, playmaking and scoring skills, no doubt the best player in the NHL but if he wasn't such a dick you know

[VancouverChokers]

@TUdaToken To further clarify, I don't hate the Flames or Oilers because I don't see them as dirty as Vancouver is. Further, I don't see their fans making jackasses of themselves. In general, I like seeing Canadian teams win as well - except Vancouver. I pulled for the fabled Montreal Canadiens last year when they got to the series against the Flyers because I wanted them to bring the cup back to Canada - just wasn't mean to be. Not to mention they humbled Crosby last year too

[TUdaToken]

@VancouverChokers yea remember Torres was on the Oilers on that '06 team, Burrows that was stupid, idk bout the Sedins diving they're not as bad as Thornton or Crosby, Rome's hit was real bad, I love their fans especially the Green Men and the people who rioted weren't real fans they were dumbfucks who win or lose were gonna riot in the city, and I hate Montreal fans riot after each playoff series win ridicilous, trying to make an arrest on Chara STILL today for that hit he made in March...
