1996 Playoffs - Red Wings @ Avalanche Game 6

[Terminus92]

Fuck both these gay teams.

[shaybird45]

Man Sakic was a wizard

[knndydrry1417]

I fucking hate the av's and st. louis. Fuck both teams. Go wings!

[Tbagurdrumset94]

if it wasn't for lemieux, i would've been quite happy to see the avs win the series. i don't mind either of these teams, and i don't think that lemieux represented the avs

[Tbagurdrumset94]

1:14 lemieux is such a weasel.

[TheSuhisabeast90]

Avs Suck, Claude Limieux Can go suck

[uberkrunkninjagod]

@TheSuhisabeast90 u mad bro?

[TheSuhisabeast90]

@uberkrunkninjagod no ur mad, Avs are horrible go suck on there 20 losses

[uberkrunkninjagod]

@TheSuhisabeast90 Detroit is the most terrible city in the world

[TheSuhisabeast90]

@uberkrunkninjagod Have You Been There? No... if it wasnt for Detroit u would be riding bikes to work everyday. u know nothing about Detroit,Mi. The Home of Eminem, KidRock, and one of the most Historic hockey franchises in the NHL.

[uberkrunkninjagod]

@TheSuhisabeast90 How the fuck would you know if I have been to Detroit? I really don't give a fuck about KidRock or Eminem, Other counties make cars too, and the Wings are fucking gay. Nuff said\

[TheSuhisabeast90]

@uberkrunkninjagod shut up, you dont know nothin about sports they have made the playoffs 25 of 27 seasons, Avalanche suck, Lumieux got whooped by McCarty

[uberkrunkninjagod]

@TheSuhisabeast90 nuthin? your grammar just proves my point that Detroit is just a terrible city full of murderers, rapists, gang members, homeless people, and inbreads just like yourself

[TheSuhisabeast90]

@uberkrunkninjagod oh yeah, what city do you live in?

[uberkrunkninjagod]

@TheSuhisabeast90 Not Denver. Everywere but Denver. Dumbass

[TigerThriller]

@uberkrunkninjagod Grammer? how old are you, fucking six? and dumbass last i checked detroit was the greatest city, when was the last time people were intiminated by denver?

[TigerThriller]

[Dacon783]

Osgood is sorry

[gntluvr]

Didn't the red wings win like over 60 games or have over 140 points that season? How could they not win the cup that year?

[NessMencesal]

@gntluvr Jets and Blues significantly weakened them (6 for WPG and 7 for StL, 7 going to 2OT) and by the time the Avs had their chance, the Wings were out of gas

[JordanSanders1991]

then the following 2 seasons we see the most bad-blooded fights in the history of the NHL.........man i miss the hockey of the late 90s

[Zackattack52287]

Damn I hated the Avalanche but Joe Sakic was one hell of a player. Class act, too. Second best #19 on the ice...

[riddick388]

@Zackattack52287 I am the same way on the other side man. I got MAD respect for stevie Y. I mean think about all the shit that the two of them had to put up with during the hay day of this rivalry.

[MixxdMount]

Detroit sucks hahaha

[MSUiBleedGreen21]

@MixxdMount colorado sucks hahaha

[LimeZYX]

3:26 One of the few times in his career Lidstrom was made to look like a pylon.

[industrialsun]

Last game for Mike Ramsey.

[LimeZYX]

@industrialsun Actually Ramsey played 2 more games, in the 96/97 season.

[industrialsun]

@LimeZYX You are right, I forgot about that. This game was 15 years ago already? Seems like yesterday. It's a shame Mike was not there for Cups that followed, but he played for Miracle On Ice team in 1980. After that, anything else must have seemed like icing on cake. A bunch of guys on Wings were also gone the next season: Bergevin, Ciccarelli, Primeau, Coffey, Errey. Their replacements did alright: Holmstrom, Kocur, Murphy, Sandstrom, Shanahan, Ward.

[dzanier]

And one more thing: mo matter how good Patrick Roy was as a goaltender he is and was an arrogant, self-serving French Canadian faggot cocksucker.

[dzanier]

God, that's a dirty hit by Lemieux. Puck was nowhere near the guy and he hit him from behind near the boards.  McCarty should've KILLED him when they fought.

[azynkron]

@dzanier Aren't we lucky that you are here to tell us these things...

[dzanier]

Glad I could be of help.

[troyboy811]

Idk if you mean the Red Wings don't have anyone on their team now that has had a cheap shot on a player, or on this team in the video, because the Red Wings have Todd Bertuzzi, who had the biggest cheap shot in league history

[jre58591]

I'm no Avs or Wings fan, but does anyone else wish that the Avs still had this goal horn/siren? Their current one sucks and is annoying.

[ilikesirensandhockey]

Look at that whiteout and pompoms

[owlandtree]

Lemieux WAS a slimy maggot. Check out the "Darren McCarty vs. Claude Lemieux" video. Claude won't even take a beating. Draper is STILL playing Red Wing playoff hockey 15 years later....Claude is famous for being the "Turtler". If Claude Lemieux and Sidney Crosby fought each other it would look like two girl scouts fighting with wet noodles:) Random, but a funny thought.

[jricheyntejas]

As a Wings fan, I just have to say... Well done Avs...no, seriously...you guys are great...make the playoffs 20 years in a row and then we'll talk...or I guess you can just send goons out to seriously injure people...no worries...claude and roy got theirs...and before you avs fans start talking sh**....how many Stanley Cups do you have?!?

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@jricheyntejas lol, the avalanche have two stanley cups, in their 15 year history

what's your point?

are you one of those nit wits that can only resort to that? when 8 of your team's stanley cups, you haven't even seen highlights of?

by the way, not an avs fan, but you sir, are a douche

[redwingsmike3718]

@banklikefrankwhite1

The point is the Wings are a far superior organization than the Avs.

How about just using what has happened post lockout? Lets see Wings 1 Cup, 2 Finals Appearances, 3 Western Finals Appearances, 5 Division Titles. What have the Avs done in that span?

Want to go further back? Wings still have been the far superior franchise it's that simple. The Avs only had a 6 year stretch in their entire franchise history where they've been an elite team and it was over 8 years ago.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@redwingsmike3718 ok, i'm confused as to what your point is

are you seriously trying to argue that the red wings, who have been around since 1932 (as the red wings)

are a better organization than the avs, who have been around since 1995?

did i say the avs were somehow better? i missed the part where i said the avs were a better franchise

if you're referring to me saying "the avs have 2 cups, what's your point"...the point is that dumb red wings fans always go back to the amount of cups.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@redwingsmike3718 it is every wings fans last resort, and it gets old

i don't even like the avalanche, or any nhl team, i just liked patrick roy so i went from being a canadiens fan, to an avs fan, to a fan of no team

still love the game however...can watch any two teams play, especially in the playoffs

anyway, trying to argue that the red wings are a superior organization is pointless

[redwingsmike3718]

@banklikefrankwhite1

What last resort? I'm not even mentioning the long history the Wings have, as you pointed out that would be unfair.

We can compare more recent seasons and still see that the Wings are flat out better than Colorado. It's not like I'm using accomplishments from a past era like Leafs fans would do, or for that matter like Avs fans do. Their team has sucked since 2003

By the way the Avs have 2 Cups in 31 years, not 15 years. The years in Quebec count too just so you know.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@redwingsmike3718 well..they had different owners in quebec..it wasn't until they sold the team to the new guys that they started caring about winning.

and i said there is no reason to compare..i don't care about the avs..i just loved patrick roy

the last resort i was talking about, is, if you say anything negative about the wings, the comeback is always how many cups they have won, it's annoying...i am a steelers fan, and it's annoying to hear other steelers fans always say "we got six sb's"

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@redwingsmike3718 and if you need to see what i'm talking about, go back and look at jricheyntejas comment

that is what is so annoying, i live near detroit now, lots of wings fans. most are humble and just support their team...some are obsessive d-bags who act like it's life or death

but the most important thing is that i'm not an avalanche fan, that was just a response to something someone said

i lost some interest when roy retired, but when forsberg left, i was officially without a team

[riddick388]

@redwingsmike3718 Well that depends...are you talking about the Colorado Avalanche franchise, or the Nordiques/Avalanche franchise?

And also the wings have been around for so long that they were able to have a 42 year drought, and a 30 year span where they only made the playoffs twice. The avalanche still have not had a streak like that.

[ajaxicp]

Kris drapers face never loocked so good

[playinragz]

Broke Drapers face. Then the real hocky started... for years this waS THE BEST MATCH-UP OF TEAMS IN ANY SPORT. those who watched , know why. clasics cant get better anywhere with anyone. bring back my NHL.

[ys0ser10usss]

those avalanche jerseys were sick, why the hell did they change them?

[Knightmessenger]

@ys0ser10usss Beats me.

Have the Av's done anything since they redesigned their jerseys?

[stang062377]

Foresberg undressing Lidstrom is a classic moment, 2 of the best...

As bad as that cheap shot from Lemieux was, it's nothing compared to some of shit Matt Cooke is doing this season, what the he'll is happening to our sport?!?

[shadowsoundlol]

nice to see sakic making sure he doesn't fall on draper

[villageboyak]

As much as I love the Avalanche (and I really, truly do) and hate the Red Wings, I'd take McCarty over Lemieux any day. McCarty was a terrific enforcer and showed his skills in 97 (and probably a few other times I don't know about). I loved every piece of this '96 team (especially my favorite player, Joe Sakic) except for that piece of crap Lemieux. He deserved to get his ass kicked in that brawl.

[UnionKid15]

Unbelievable upset. Thanks a lot for posting this.

[NessMencesal]

Good old Big Mac, as they called it. McNichols Arena. Talk about retro

[spanskil]

GO WINGS!!

[spanskil]

Key word being WAS. The Avs haven't done squat since 2000-01, they won the cup that year and have plummeted since... The wings have been the flagship organization for over a decade and still are today, these were the two best teams in the league from 1996-98 (Avs won it in 1996, Detroit won it in 97 and 98) easily, so you can't even say the wings choked. BUT until the Avs can actually become legitimately competitive again, stay in the dark where you've been the past 10 years.

[salvationracer]

@spanskil Thats pretty much it. I am a huge Blues fan but I respect the Wings organization tremendously.

They are ALWAYS good.

[rekkilo]

I LOVE DARREN MCCARTY...SWEET VENGANCE

[elyeagels32]

Lemieux is so lucky he got chucked, and at the guy saying he was only trying to check him, it was from behind and against the boards. how can one man do that to another? it's just distasteful and out of order made even worse so by just how much damage he did.

on a positive sakic has one hell of a wrist shot and the brawl that followed this was entertaining.

[MunroviaPictures]

sakic always had that beautiful wrist shot where he would cut into the slot

[mickelarzon]

HO HO HO HO......fucking Detroit!!!

[Iceproductionss]

This video really proves how pathetic the avs are. they are pussys who take cheap shots and we (red wings) have won many more cups then you fags :)

[riddick388]

Well...Ummm...OK...The wings have been around since the 1920's. The avalanche are 60-some years younger. And yet we are only 9 cup victories behind you...And also you signed Todd Bertuzzi. And what he did to Steve Moore wasn't a cheap shot was it?

And maybe you should tell your boy draper to watch out so he doesn't get hurt...I mean i ALMOST had a tear for him until I realized that Lemieux was only trying to check him..and that's hockey for you:)

[NessMencesal]

@riddick388 winnipeg gave draper away "For a dollar" Aka a player that turned into shit

He was spending his whole season in Moncton (AHL)

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@riddick388 no, bertuzzi's shot was what is called sweet justice

just look at what moore did to naslund, bertuzzi's best friend, line mate, and best player on the team

you would have done the same, if not you're a pussy, and no one would be lucky to have you on their team

[robertk2007]

@banklikefrankwhite1 are you retarded? if its justice why is bertuzzi in court blaming crawford? typical retarded canadian. you would defend bertuzzi. idiot.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@robertk2007 ...well, you're post, which was twice as retarded as mine, had three childish insults, and two misrepresentations of facts. we'll start with those..i'm not canadian. 2, bertuzzi blaming crawford? the coach? lol smart guy you are. bertuzzi's hit was sweet justice, if you are too dumb to figure out why, i'm sorry

it's easy though, just read the comment again, it says it already.

[robertk2007]

@banklikefrankwhite1 sweet justice for a man to lose his career by a blind side hit and then jumped on. i hope someone breaks ur neck because that would be justice. you are a loser.... live with that.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@robertk2007 no sir, sweet justice is for the shot moore took on naslund that COULD have ended his career

it just didn't get as much attention because of the outcome..

the exact reverse of that happened to moore, bertuzzi just punched him, and unfortunate events happened.

it was a freak accident. but, moore getting what he gave was sweet justice

is that clear enough?

[Nemexixx]

@banklikefrankwhite1 The shot on Naslund was just poor timing and nothing more. Ending Moore's career with a premeditated act was NOT justice no matter how hard you try to use the hit on Naslund as a scapegoat. Moore was never a goon and I'll never understand the canuck fans trying to portray him as such when they had no idea who he was before the hit.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@Nemexixx i will tell you this, if what moore did to naslund, was done to a team mate of mine

you better believe i'd do something, especially if it were hockey that we were playing, since punching is ok

it's unfortunate that moore was hurt as bad as he was, but he deserved something to happen. it was a freak accident, you don't expect a guy to fall like that when you punch him, and then to land on him the way he did

i'm not a canuck fan by the way, and i disagree about it being poor timing

[Nemexixx]

@banklikefrankwhite1 The Canucks had their chance for revenge earlier in the night.. Steve Moore fought Matt Cooke.. Bertuzzi was way out of line after that.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@robertk2007 well, you're "loser" comment is your opinion, you have no evidence to confirm or deny that.

naslund almost got his neck broken by moore...it's unfortunate what happened to moore, but it don't change the fact that he had SOMETHING coming for that shot.

oh by the way, how would someone breaking my neck be justice? i guess it wasn't a joke, the 'assuming you knew what justice meant" thing, lol..i ve never hit anyone with a cheap shot in football, hockey, or basketball when i played

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@robertk2007 and since i also live in the country that is near the bottom in terms of education among industrialized nations, it's incredibly silly for YOU to call another countries people retarded.

so let's see...you're 0-4 now you did pick up a natural hat-trick of stupidity though...congrats!

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@robertk2007 oh, i'm sorry, it is my fault, i was assuming you knew what justice meant..just google it man

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@Iceproductionss you're right, the red wings have never taken a cheap shot

ok i can't keep a straight face

get over yourself fag, EVERY team has at least 1 cheap shot artist, the only reason your small brain remembers what you'd call a cheap shot artist, is because of the severity of the injury

otherwise, you'd have nothing to talk about

[gamester501]

@banklikefrankwhite1 i have never, in my life seen a cheap hitter like lemieux on the red wings. Kronwall hits alot and that good stuff but he never gives cheap shots.

[Iceproductionss]

@banklikefrankwhite1 Name one person on the red wings that has taken a cheap shot? Name? Name? No. You guys take cheap shots and get your asses kicked. Face it.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@Iceproductionss lol...that's funny...i don't know who "you guys" refers to..so..are you 10 or 11? that's the only way that you actually saying there haven't been redwing players known for cheap shots would make sense.

[gallegs7]

@Iceproductionss Bertuzzi Bertuzzi bertuzzi bertuzzi bertuzzi bertuzzi.

[dockbeiz]

look at the bottom line, the canadian olympic orientation roster....that musta been the sickest team ever

[azynkron]

@dockbeiz They finished 4th.. Mmm.. great team.

[xelectricx17]

@azynkron shut up already fag

[xAxiom720x]

what a hit by lemieux! what a great play.

[mikecvet]

@xAxiom720x not really, and he got fucked up the next year for it lol

[eyebleedsoccer]

@xAxiom720x die, go to hell, and suck on lemieux while he takes a leak in your mouth, you jag-off. P.S. drapper ten fold more important to any team he has ever been on, and turtles suck

[DetroitTigersFan187]

Since 1996 Wings have won 4 Stanley Cup, Avs have won 1!

OWNAGE! AVS ARE THE RED WINGS' BIAAAAAAATCH!

[1993Mtb]

Get pwnd red wings.

[prettywiseguy]

roy was magic

[daghettoboy303]

yeah baby!!! FUCK DETROIT

[norjak71]

@daghettoboy303 lol i love your hatred for detroit, shows how much avs fans wish theyre team was detroit, what happened the next year? in 2002? in 2008? how many cups detroit have again? lol. detroit owned roy lol. statue of liberty, 7-0 game 7, ended his career in montreal. love it lol.by the way, whos hockeytown again?

[daghettoboy303]

@norjak71 hahaha you got me...but you know how we avs fans are we hate detroit becuz its a rivalry

[norjak71]

@daghettoboy303 its not a rivalry anymore because detroit dominates them, it was a rivalry in the late 90s cause of the hit and we were both great teams. but then the avs tailed off and started sucking again while the wings kept wining cups and making finals and winning divisions. good thing about being a wings fan, you know you dont have to wait that long to see the stanley cup again.

[redwingsmike3718]

@daghettoboy303

As norjak said, the Wings fanbase doesn't regard the Avs as a rival anymore.

That rivalry was intense and great in the late 90s but it was only because of the players at the time.

It's different than Chicago or Toronto...our true rivals. Those teams are rivals because of the logo on the front of the sweater not the names on the back. I'll always be excited to see those teams at the Joe even if they suck, and you can't say that about going to see a Wings/Avs game.

[Xariama]

@redwingsmike3718 However, mention the name Claude Lemieux to any Wings fan, and it still pisses them off. Trust me, I've tried it. :)

However, you as a Wings fan, and I as a Blackhawks fan, we both can say one thing and both mean it equally: RIP, Bob Probert.

[redwingsmike3718]

@Xariama

Absolutely, RIP Probie.

As for your point about The Turtle himself of course it raises the ire of Wings fans. But that just proves my point that the rivalry was all about the players.

The Avs organization doesn't mean anything to the fanbase these days. Your Blackhawks and the Leafs have a special status as permanant rivals no matter what players are wearing the indian head or the maple leaf.

Fans of non O6 teams will just never understand I guess.

[RedWingsFan2010]

@daghettoboy303 hahahhahaha.. detroit..11 cups.. Av's 2.. wow.. YOU SUCK..

GO WINGS !!!!!!!!! 

[daghettoboy303]

@RedWingsFan2010 no bitch you suck! red wings have 84 years of existance and avs only 15 years..if avs had 84 years than we would have more

[TUdaToken]

@daghettoboy303 here's a better fact, since the avs have been around wings 4 avs 2 so we are still winning lmao

[Beaupre911]

lemieux was the biggest Douche in hockey back than. Now Crosby has taken his place tee hee!!!!

[vene777]

wow, great move by Forsberg and it was on Lidstrom, the greatest dman of the last 15 years.

[xctrlx]

...hey Chris Draper, keep your head up...(sarcasm)

[norjak71]

@xctrlx hey...lemiuex, get the shit beat out of y ou the next year. lol. so funny lemiuex acts like a badass then when someone his own size comes up, he tucks and pussies out lol. love it.

[CrackShotMcGee]

I would give anything just to have 1 minute with claude lemieux man i would just beat the shit out of that fucking pussy

[gallegs7]

@CrackShotMcGee oh im sure you would!

[CrackShotMcGee]

@gallegs7 I totally would the guy is a fucking pussy that should have never stepped foot on the ice, ever.

[vanpatsridersms]

That first Sakic goal was so awesome, that one-timer where the pass came from all the way across the ice and he blasted it in. The second was just classic Sakic leaning into a lightning quick wrist shot that beat the goalie low. Notice how Sakic doesn't try and go shelf all the time? He scored most of his goals on lower shots i think. Great series, great rivalry.

[Swertyop]

Screw you Lemieux

[ruprockz]

@Swertyop why?

Because hwe COMPLETELY DOMINATED one of the wings players?

[Yourvidssuckasshole]

Good upload man. Yuh should upload the 2000s playoffs series

[HuskerFanatic]

As a longtime Avs fan who is familiar with this rivalry, I think that year's Wings team was probably the best of their 15 year run not to win the Stanley Cup. This group would have destroyed Florida in the finals. Unfortunately for the Avs, the Wings learned some valuable lessons from that year and this is when the rivalry really took off.

[ruprockz]

Great series from both teams

[shv93]

@aaronme02 hey buddy, dead wings eh? how many cups do the Avs have? and how many do the red wings have? case closed numb nuts

[nerdsrfun]

@shv93 i belive the answer is Red Wings 11, and Avs 2. or sense 1972, when the avs joined the nhl...Wings 4, Avs 2. not to mention it took the red wings 7 years to win their first cup, and it took the Avs 24 years. GO WINGS

[Zerstorer84]

The old days when the Avs were an NHL powerhouse! Lots of good memories watching this vid! Plus, the dead wings were known fir their cheap shots! ei. Dino Sissyrelli!

[YourUndischargedWish]

:-) Is that from 1996?

[aaronme02]

Send me a reminder to watch that beautiful hit everyday of my life. That's what happens when your a Detroit CHICKEN WING. I love it.

[StinksOnIce22]

@aaronme02 I bet you love getting hit from behind, don't you? You would have loved Draper's career ended, wouldn't you? Eat the boards once or twice, your outlook would change. Cock smoker.

[aaronme02]

@StinksOnIce22

Haha. Shit for a career anyway. He should have been a fucking figure skater.

Your faggot ass could have been his partner!

FUCK detroit.

[nerdsrfun]

@aaronme02 well he would probably be the only figure skater with 1,110 career regular season goals, with a +71. and 214 playoff goals, with a +13. know your stats before you talk shit about a great hockey player.

[shadowsoundlol]

@nerdsrfun

i think you should check your stats too. your stats don't correspond to any nhl player in history. 1100 regular season goals and 214 playoff goals is an absolutely ridiculous statistic. gretzky is the actual leader in both categories, with under 900 regular season goals and well under 200 playoff goals.

[nerdsrfun]

@shadowsoundlol ok you were right, i mixed up the columns its 155 goals, 197 assists in regular season, and 24 goals, 21 assists playoffs. but he is still +71 and +13 respectively. thank you for correcting me, i always like getting the correct facts. douche bag.

[shadowsoundlol]

@nerdsrfun

so basically you don't know your stats at all. you only just looked up the stats to try and make an argument, but have absolutely no idea what realistic stats for a offensively underwhelming forward.

know your stats before you call kris draper the greatest goalscorer of nhl history.

[nerdsrfun]

@shadowsoundlol so you just slanderiously add words into peoples arguments. i never said anything about him being the greatest goalscorer of nhl history. and i know what good stats are. fuck your annoying. i hope you get an anurisum the next time you jack off to nhl stats, you fucking moron.

[nerdsrfun]

@aaronme02 yeah but i remember a year later when your beautiful hitter got his ass beat and turtled against who again? oh thats right The motherfuckin DETROIT RED WINGS. Suck it!

[StinksOnIce22]

"Coffey gave the puck away." How many times were we used to hearing that? Fucking doucher.

[Lwojcik77]

Lemieux is the biggest faggot ever... Gosh I fuckin hate that guy... Loved it when mcCarty fucked his ass up GO WINGS!!!

[pomthillips]

1:30 shows why Claude Lemieux will be going to hell someday

[SyKo9387]

God I hate Claude Lemieux...the hit was gutless and not apologizing for it was even worse. What a classless individual he was.

[ciccone39]

Do you have Game 5 from 1995 Wings vs. Blackhawks?

[zupels007]

nice pass Ozo

[oehieze]

by the way,.. the player peter NUTMEGGED to score that goal... LIDSTROM :)

hahahahaha!

[mickelarzon]

YES YES YES!!...the religion in hockey is the best!!!

I love wen the hockey wins over the caveman!!!!.....PETER FORSBERG IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!

[tmoore4075]

Paul Coffey's last game as Red Wing.

While that hit was terrible it sure made this rivalry and that fight in March of 97 was the night that Wings team came together.

Amazing how good Sakic was that playoff year. 18 goals? damn.

[skull902]

Claude Lemuix made himself known in this game as the biggest coward in hockey history. What a bitch.

[leomes]

yeah. Four cups. One conn smythe. What a coward he was.

[skull902]

What the hell do awards have to do with it?

[rebelcsb1]

sakic is definitly the best scorer in the nhl at this time.

[Neverenderfan]

Is it just me or when the Avs score a gole it sounds like a tornato siron is going off?

[muska114]

How does Sakic get a wrist shot off so fucking quick?

[WeAreCrocodile]

@muska114 sakic is god

[evolution1234321]

@muska114 HE'S SUPER JOE!

[muska114]

Fuckin Roy....the best

[teamspirit5]

The beginning of an awesome rivalry

[Nolby]

Avs all the way baby!!!

[rafalutionine]

thanks 4 the upload dude. U are a credit to the red wings for uploading this great series even though u didn't win. The best series was in 02 when we lost game 7 7-0. I've always admired Detroit particularly stevie y lidstrom and Konstantinov. I hope Federov comes back: he was the most complete player I've ever seen. Good luck in the season ahead, although I must say I'm also a huge Malkin fan

[Forcepro21]

As a hockey fan myself, I really enjoy watching all these old, vintage hockey clips from the past; never get tired of it at all, thanks for posting:-D

Claude Lemieux is a fucking dickhead.

I'm sure I'll get a "Why not?" type of response but why would you upload this when a bunch of Wings fans subscribe to you?

I enjoy watching all of these old games, regardless of who wins.

That's what I was thinking when I was posting these.

Seeing the Russian Five out there together is enough to make me watch a Wings game, no matter how painful the outcome might have been.

Hehe, but that's more or less what he's role in Avalanche is, get the opposite team to get really really angry and can't focus on a structured play.
