  • Love how Claude Lemieux went into instant turtle mode. He knew he'd have his ass handed to him if he stood up.

  • Who won?

  • @TheRandomThings23 If you mean the game, the Red Wings did, 6-5, in overtime. Guess who scored the game-winner? Yep. Darren McCarty.

  • @AnistonAnarchist No i mean the FIGHT.

  • Greatest moment in Hockeytown history!

  • McCarty was just doing to Lemiux like he did to Draper.

  • they don't make em like this anymore

  • To bad aves cant even make playoffs

  • oh... the good old hockey days... how I miss them... nothing like the "sanitized" version they make them play now.

  • Ahh, the good old days of hockey. Don't see much of this anymore : (

  • welcome back to old time hockey!

  • Say what you all want, I'd rather have Colorado as a rival then Chicago and Pittsburgh. This was when hockey actually mattered and was exciting.

  • @maroinmybones Bahaha, very much indeed so. We do agree on something

  • @Steyr455 haha definitely.

  • ya, it was so unfair of McCarty to do that to LeMeiux....Claude LeMeiux NEVER took a cheap shot at ANYONE....say what you want you BOZO, Colorado doesn't have ELEVEN Stanley Cups AND they NEVER WILL!!!

  • @rednecktuxedo 2 cups in 16 years beats 11 cups in 80 something years. detroit won most of their cups when there was 6 teams in the god damn league.

  • @iBLESSEDyurFALL My math may be wrong but I think 4 cups in 12 years beats 2 cups in 16 years.

  • @plaid11 LMAO! Your math is flawless.

  • absolute sucker by mccarty

  • Vernon landed that a sick left!

  • Go Wings!

  • Shame on McCarty for his sucker punch on Lemieux.

  • @Northeagle66 Lemieux is a dick, remember what he did to Draper..

  • @Northeagle66 Do you even know what Lemieux did to Draper? F**in piece of crap!

  • DETROIT MOTHER FUCKERS

  • it never gets old watchin that ass whoopin go wings lmao

  • @moniande1 And go McCarty right for kicking Lemiux's ass

  • Detroiters know how to fight. what the fuck is there in colorado? Stop fighting, go back to climbing mountains and skiing, pussies.

  • @VraiDave good one bitch

  • @VraiDave Too bad no one lives in Detroit anymore to cheer on your shitty hockey team. Everyone left to pursue better things in life than to rot in some podunk defunct city.

  • I love how when Ozzie or Vernon gets that big dumb jerk on the ground the ref steps in. If the refs would have let roy get the crap kicked out of him maybe his son wouldn't be such a piece of shit.

  • Vernon won that fight, a taken down in a dominant position always wins it, you can jab as much as you want doesn't mean that is very effective.

  • @day2485 nahh roy beat osgood even tho osgood wrestled him down

  • oh and lmao @ AV fans talkin smack about team history...hahahaha Wings have been in the playoffs 20n strait seasons u dumb asses and have plenty of cups to show for it, Vernon won because he did more damage, finished on top and if not for the reff he woulda realy got beat down even more in that position

  • Vernon won the fight because even though roy threw more punches, vernon did more damage and took him down and if the reff hadnt showed up right then roy woulda got beat even worse, sorry AV fans your boys got an ass woopin plain and simple

  • Hahaha! Finally, Av's fan comments =D

    Fuck your wings, Roy won that fight.

    Red Wings will always suck

  • Cheap shot by Mccarty. Lemiuex was just skating by

  • I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. Lmao It looks to me the avalanche got OWNED. I remember this game.Not a fan of either team but got to admit you avs fans are really dilluosional. The wings won this game btw. And went on to win the cup in '97. Thats what counts! As a Montreal fan I respect the wings. At least they win cups more than all of the other american teams.

  • Funny how Detroit fans hate on Lemieux for a dirty hit. But then praise McCarty here for his cheap shots... I'm an Avalanche fan, but neither Lemieux nor McCarty are anywhere near my favourite. As a matter of fact, any notice how Shanahan and Vernon go after one player? Bwahahaha, funny. And how did Roy lose the fight? He put in five solid shots to Vernon's three. In a boxing bout, the man who hits with the most punches, usually wins the match. If Vernon won, why'd he have to take out Roy's ~

  • @KamaHipHop ~ pads to put an end to it. You can bitch about size advantage like the little bitches you Red Wings fans are, but Vernon challenged Roy. So shut the fuck up about the size difference. Look at the UFC, Brock Lesnar versus anybody. And he still doesn't win all of his fights. Size means shit, and Vernon lost the fight. Bloodied up or not, Roy took it to Detroit and Vernon, so hats off to him. But Vernon and Shanahan going after one player? That's a bitch move.

  • @KamaHipHop If you actual knew what went on you'd know that Foote and Shanahan were involved and Vernon stepped in to separate them. Vernon threw nothing at Foote. How did Roy lose the fight? Look at how he winces and turns his head away when Vernon lands the bombs. The few quick weak jabs Roy got in hardly count. How do I know Vernon landed bombs and Roy had weak jabs? Look at Roy's bloodied face. Vernon didn't challenge Roy it was the other way around. Fan boy

  • wah landed on his ass twice against DETROIT goalies!!!

  • this was the day i was born :)

  • yep...claude "the turtle" lemieux still stands today

  • Darren McCarty is all time wings, true team player & legend. Great to see him beat up turtle claude and he scored GWG in that game also. How sweet it was

  • @JTruupold McCarty sucker punched Lemieux. Lemieux was watching Forsberg and Larionov fight when McCarty jumped him like a coward. McCarty is worse than Lemieux for his cheap shot. At least Lemieux was playing the game of hockey and making a hockey play. McCarty is just a cheap shot artist and a coward with no skill.

  • @TheChad0508

    too bad he had it comin hahaha lemieux sux.

  • @TheChad0508 That no skilled player has more cups then Lemieux.

  • @murderdoll9191 And Lemieux has more Conn Smythe's, more goals, more assists, more points, more everything. Just admit that he's better in every way than McCarty. Oh, and Lemiuex didn't need to sell his cup rings to finance his gambling/addiction debts.

  • He was as much of a goon in the game as McCarty was.cheap shots or not and yes his shot on draper in the playoffs were worse then this one here.Draper had to go to the hospital and could barely breathe.It might of happened while they were playing but he knew damn well the hit he was giving was illegal.Their both goons but i prefer McCarty only because im a detroit fan through and through.

  • @TheChad0508 And more people who hate him. Game set and match lemieux.

  • wings showed how you deal with wannabes, amazing they just hammered all of the avs on the ice

  • Go Roy Go! Fucking red wings fight like pussies, hitting guys when theyre already down, wrapping and falling... what cowards

  • 0:22 Epic clash!

  • I love how when Roy is skating out to help Shanahan flies out of nowhere with a take down. This video is the greatest

  • Shanahan is the bitch for that

  • Igor Larionov is worth a thousand peter forsbergs. The Divealanche suck ass, and are paying for it with karma now.

  • VERNON

  • F u red wings just die

  • I wish hockey can be this crazy now.

  • 3:45 begins the best moments i have ever seen in hockey :D

  • This was right around the time when I first started getting into hockey. One of my favorite Wings memories!

  • @MorbidBlessing

    Same here I was only 7 and this is what started my love for Hockey.

  • My god this is amazing.

    

  • 2 people like soccer...fairys

  • @Gilms91 nice try but anyone who likes soccer would like hockey since they're similar in play

  • patrick roy best goalie ever after Jaques plantes

  • roy jumped into the mixer and paid the price

  • Those were the days... :)

  • I miss these days....

  • what he was doing is punching that fag lemuix because he is a dirty player and hurt kris draper and its his fault he is down he is a pussy and wouldnt fight

  • i FUCKING HATE seeing people punching people when there down what the FUCK was mcmarty doing sleezy bastard

  • @tedindahouse Give Lemieux what he deserved. Look up the hit on Kris Draper and you'll understand.

  • @dougr188

    i have seen the hit and i am fully aware of the rivalry but just because he did it to someone doesn't make it acceptable but thats just my opinion

  • @tedindahouse Fair enough. I have a hard time feeling bad for him after the career that he choose to pursue.

  • @tedindahouse You must be pretty young, to not know why that happened. They even mention it in this video. Lemieux was one of the dirtiest players in NHL history. He deserved it. Should have stood up and fought, like he did a year later.

  • @kyokogodai

    i know what he did and i am not justifying his actions just saying and eye for an eye does not work

  • @tedindahouse You, also, must not have been a hockey fan very long. Out in the real world, i totally agree. In hockey (as in most sports), boundries, sometimes, have to be set by the players themselves. A major reason for all of the injuries the past decade+, in the NHL, is due to the NHL trying to stop this very thing. Suspensions and fines mean nothing. Ban players? Why? Just get rid of the instigator rule and guys like Cooke (much like Lemieux) stop the bad stuff.

  • @kyokogodai

    i have been a hockey fan for several years now and i just think beating on a guy is wrogn even if he has done it to someone else

  • @tedindahouse Hey, that's ok. If that is how you feel about it, then that is that. I see it in the opposite. That is the way it was, for a very long time,and that is how I think it should be. We agree to disagree, and I think we are both fine with that, as well.

  • @kyokogodai

    its not like i wouldnt like to see lemeiux get battered but to punch a guy when he is down is bad in my book but saying that if someone did that to someone in my team i suppose i would react differently

  • ROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • GO WINGS!!!!! I miss rivalries like this

  • Hard to belive this was almost 13 yeras ago. NHL ain't like this anymore, well execpt the Bruins.

  • FUCK DETROIT

  • VERONON AND McCARTY!!!!

  • In my opinion, Roy earned Detroit's collective reverence and respect as a great goalie, but the jumping/diving tackle by Shanny on Roy is still the best part of this video.

  • This fight never gets old. Love it

  • Patwell why don't you watch what Claude did to Draper the season before and you will understand why McCarty beat the shit out of Claude the Turtle

  • That was the bast hockey fight i have seen!

  • Nothing better than watching Roy get his ass kicked!!!

  • hockey is for canadiens, eh?

  • Hey its Turtle Lemuiex

  • two people are avs fans

  • Welcome to Detroit.

    Hockeytown.

    Go Wings.

  • does anyone have a video or know what the announcer was talking about when he talked about a hit on kris draper?

  • Comment removed

  • @iamchevyman5 Lemieux sent Kris Draper through the glass in the 1996 Western Conference Finals, necessitating major reconstructive surgery to Draper's face, and ultimately propelling the Avalanche to the Stanley Cup Finals (and winning the Cup). This was revenge. Pure revenge. It also helped propel the Wings to their ensuing Cup run, in which the Wings got more revenge beating the Avalanche in the Conference Finals on the way to their first of two consecutive Cups.

    Go Wings!

  • @ShagMeElmo

    revenge by beating the Avs in more ways than one, eh?

    Drape, Shanny, Vernon, McCarty, & Larionov FTW!!!

    Do ANY avs players win their fight?

  • let me kil em 

  • that extra hit by forsberg was unneccesary.

  • gives me chills, remember watching this when i was a kid

  • Patrick Roy made two accounts to dislike this video. His fragile ego couldn't handle it.

  • Claude got exactly what he deserved...dumbass punk.

  • I dont just like this vid i love it... Brings a tear to my eye... Best goalie fight of all times by far........

  • yeah bitch redwings r beast

  • vernon was the best

  • too bad there arent very many fights like this anymore

  • Mike Vernon FTW

  • Heck Yeah! GO WINGS

  • oh they are comin back my friend :)

  • Red Wings announced in this game: The King is Dead! Long Live the King!

    Wings owned hockey starting with this game. PERIOD.

    It's been 14 years since this game and the Wings are still tops. The Av's have disappeared.

  • @pamemake i have to agree im from chicago and we just got good about 3 years ago but u guys have always kicked ass

  • Comment removed

  • Lemiuex deserved it

  • i will bet any one that the one guy who disliked this video was fuckin Lemieux!!!

  • @beastT44 or Roy

  • Laughing at the Larionov-Forsberg tilt, two of my favorite players back then but that was the textbook definition of a Euro Pansy fight right down to the JOFA helmets.

  • McCarty, what a fucking pussy! He so badly wanna fight that he starts to fight with some1 who doesnt wana...

  • @adde42 youre are hella fucking stupid! if you knew anything about the Detroit Colorado rivalry you would know McCarty wasnt a pussy and didnt start the fight for no reason. it was because fucking Lemieux who smashed Drapers face open few games before with a cheap ass pussy hit. you fuckin retard.

  • A down player??? He turtled like a bitch 

  • @highlen20 Exactly. People screaming downed player are morons. I watched this game live. He was "down" because McCarty punched him in the face and he turtled like he did 99% of time throughout his career.

  • Surprise surprise, Wings players show that they have no honor. Attacking a downed player, punches to the back of the head, 2 to 3 Redwings attacking 1 player. Sure, their tactics are effective, but that doesn't make them right...

  • @delacroixwalrus surprise surprise another idiot that does not know what the fuck they are talking about. The Turtle deserved that since he hit Drapper from behind breaking his face and jaw. He deserved every hit and then some. That hit from behind made the whole thing right. Learn what you are talking about next time moron.

  • Nice job flaming me instead of responding to my comment. The Redwings attacked a downed player. They double teamed others. It does not matter what sparked the brawl. The code of honor states you do not do that. It does not matter why you are fighting. You do not punch someone from behind. You do not attack a player lying face-first on the ice. You do not fight someone 2-on-1. You! Do! Not! Do! That! Then again, this is the team that had Bertuzzi...

  • @delacroixwalrus One there is no actual code. It is an unwritten rule. Guess what though? When a cheap shot artist is the one who you are dealing with no rules apply. You are a fucking moron.

  • i lived it when Macarty did that to claude

  • Patrick wa bitchass

  • i love how igor larianov ends up in the box. gettin rachet Igor.

  • Turtle...

  • Any old Wings fans out there from the old days? When watching a Wings fight on TV, the best part would be Mickey Redmond giggling in the lead up to the fight, and then calling the fight, blow by blow.

  • Great games, Wings vs Avs in those days. Great skill, and yeah, great fights. People whining about fighting in hockey, find something else to watch.

  • Poor Roy.Got his ass slammed on the ice here,and then one year later he got it again from Osgood.And in 2002 he would have gotten it again from Hasek if the refs didn't intervene.I wonder how Roy liked getting his ass beat by someone smaller than him?

  • red wigs suck

  • @girts310 11 CUPS.. YEP..THEY SUCK ALRIGHT.

  • FUCK my balls deitroit red wing r the chicken wings

  • @sargentfrankie33 WINGS RULE.. GO JUMP IN FRONT OF A TRAIN BITCH

  • vernon fucked roy up

  • Those two rights from Roy had me worried until Vernon caught him with that haymaker left.

  • haha theres my boy # 14 Shanahan was a beast!!

  • I was at this game. was only berely 6. I dont really remember the fight. but man. . . . Wacthing it i could only imagin what it was like to be there. Give blood . . . Play hockey :)

  • gotta love the way the commentary tone shifts to that of a wrestling/boxing match :D

  • An advertisement before a 24,000 view video? Really?

  • @cursedswordsman used to be over 100,000 i think, prob more but who knows they change it up so much on youtube these days

  • This was Hockey.

  • lemieux is a bitch

  • @AK49RumRunner you're an idiot.

  • the best nhl moment ever and then the next year they had the second best moment i miss these days when refs let ppl fight

  • LONG LIVE THE WINGS BABY!!

  • Vernon did win but he didn't get owned he woulda won if he didn't get hit by that leaping punch aha that was sick

  • Man oh man, these were the days...

  • Best moment in hockey! This and Roy vs. Osgood!

  • i remember watching this, the wings won that fist fight :P

  • @Rennmaaka Me too!  Classic

  • Roy is a faggot homo.

  • i just gotta smile when i watch this
