Colorado Avalanche Detroit Red Wings brawl and fights 1997 part 1

[YEMSKABRAND]

favorite rivalry of all time

[Salkki1]

Claude Lemieux was a cheap shot artist. But that sucker punch by McCarty equals with Odjick vs Lindros or Bertuzzi vs Moore.

[Hamsterboy213]

@amsfan37 wut go wings!!!!!

[pwbuckeye7]

typical detroit. No class!

[5150theripper]

@pwbuckeye7 Claude Lemieux is the definition of "no class". He deserved every punch he got and then some, piece of shit.

[Valorisblack]

Lemieux-McCarty my favorite one. For sure. hha

[ThePBRocks]

The Avs got what they deserve

[TheAirxON]

Vytaz vs Avalance: ''Bit*h please..."

[guitarking248]

i just came back from a redwing game and there were 5 fights it was awesome! but this is better

[Emmuregasm]

Avs fans. i hope your team is better at playing than these awful jokes you fans are putting up for them, the buffalo wings... clever. and towards mixxdmount, the 2002 red wings stanley cup team was considered one the greatest teams of all time. 11 hall of famers at one time... 4 cups. 12 years. just remember

[pwbuckeye7]

@Emmuregasm see Colorado Avalanche 2001 Stanley Cup team for one of the greatest teams of all time. nuff said

[Emmuregasm]

@pwbuckeye7 first off. no class? second off. 116 points. thats amazing. 9 Hall of Fame players. and third. that was cup number 3 in 5 years. nuff said

[busbyutd19]

Oct. 8 prepare to become the Detroit Buffalo Wings haha go Avs

[lashbro48]

fuck the red wings!! avalanche pride

[ryanmcminn1981]

from the greatest hoxkey movie ever runnnnnnn pussyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[joeyfickenabraham]

your the only type of dynimate thats never goin to bang HEADBANGER4LIFE

[BlueberryDoughnuts]

Detroit owned them on all fronts and it has been all Wings since.

[joeyfickenabraham]

Headbanger4life your a piece. Of shit and the world nows it

[xXxIkm]

I miss these days. Fuck the Avalanche.

[MixxdMount]

@xXxIkm Roy kicked Vern ass bro.

[xXxIkm]

@MixxdMount That is true, lol. But I still miss these days.

[A7X4life897]

@MixxdMount have you been drinking? cause your comment makes me and any other person think so. GO RED WINGS

[MixxdMount]

@A7X4life897 ? Roy clearly shit on Vern, and Osgood at that. 96-02 the wings were never better than the Av's that's why we won the cup. Scrub.

[A7X4life897]

@MixxdMount wait what happened in 97 and 98 and then again in 03 yea we won the cup all 3 years dumbass so think about things before you put posts up and make yourself look stupid... and scrub??? wow your a tough typer man

[MixxdMount]

@A7X4life897 1995–2002 Avalanche team, player for player was 20x the skill of any player on the red wings and you know it. Roy was better than Vern and Osgood, statistically and physically. You guys had 4 or 5 top goal scorers. Detroit is the shit state of America, always has been and always will be. Same with your sports teams. 97-98? Oh I remember in all the brawls we kicked your asses, haha that's what I remember.

[A7X4life897]

@MixxdMount first off Detroit is a city not a state and second if colorado was better they would have won more cups and they wouldnt be the shit team of the western conference. your definitely either on crack, cant admit your team has always sucked, or are legitimately too stupid to understand hockey.... im gonna go with the third option

[MixxdMount]

@A7X4life897 Sorry, "Michigan" is chill, but the "CITY" Detroit is the shit hole of America. Borque, Roy, Blake, Sakic, Drury, Foote, Hejduk, and all them were some of the best hockey players. I haven't seen the Wings winning anything since 08 so haha I'm not to worried.Arguing between what players and teams are better has shit to do with understanding hockey. I have played my whole life, haha I am pretty sure I understand it. I also can realize when I am talking to a hoser like you.

[A7X4life897]

@MixxdMount to be completely fair the avalanche havent won anything since 01 so im not worried either lol. i also have played my entire life and coach and work with kids at a hockey camp so id say i also know the game ;) and did you really just call me a hoser lmao what are you canadian?

[topspeedmr2]

@A7X4life897 If I'm in Vegas... I'm putting my money on Detroit. LOL

[A7X4life897]

@MixxdMount correction on the typo 02 not 03...

[amsfan37]

@xXxIkm Fuck you!

[xXxIkm]

@amsfan37 :D

[xXxIkm]

@amsfan37 (:

[SheItoe]

@amsfan37 who won this game again?

[Valorisblack]

@xXxIkm I miss them too... I want this rivalry back!

[Detox2045]

@xXxIkm fuck the wings

[xXxIkm]

@Detox2045 The Avs still matter these days?

[Detox2045]

@xXxIkm more then the wings? yes

[xXxIkm]

@Detox2045 LOLOLOL, didn't know the Avs have won 4 Cups and been to the playoffs 20 years straight. MY BAD...thought that was the Wings.

[canyoueatme24]

I hated when Roy and Vernon fought and since Roy fell first the fans think Vernon won, but look at it again... Roy punched him crazy, Vernon only got a couple shots in, but Roy did the most damage...

[SuperNa7ural]

@canyoueatme24

Roy may have gotten a couple more shots in, but he ended up bloody and on the ice. That is not a win in any way.

[canyoueatme24]

Avs baby!!! God I hate Detroit and the Red Wings... I actually really liked that they were both up for the fights and a good team so it was really this stuff... Both teams were winning Cups at the time and had the best teams of the late 90's... One thing that we both can agree and hate, we equally hat the Dallas Stars!!

[jsal222]

@canyoueatme24 i miss the days of the old detroit colorado rivalrys

[mudlark82]

Turtlin son of a bitch!! Run to mama!! Hahahaha

[Slotholopolis]

@HEADBANGER4LIFE37 tired of seeing us raise the cup while your team is at home hater? :)

[blackbean2000]

cooooooooooool

[lop04545]

AVS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

[sickshot1995]

[HEADBANGER4LIFE37]

[grampabeotches]

@HEADBANGER4LIFE37 red wings shit on any time

[woodtrevor]

@HEADBANGER4LIFE37 dude u never been to detroit if you say that im from here and it is a strong town

[ryanmcminn1981]

@HEADBANGER4LIFE37 ok dumb ass were do you live

[tyler89r]

I love how this commenting is turning into a brawl

[CheapDutchmen]

6:18, PRICELESS!

[CubsFanJohn]

GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!

[SgtPepper96034]

Patrick fucked him up and was a better goalie.

[CheapDutchmen]

@SgtPepper96034 Thanks for the input Charlie Sheen.

[PSonak]

I really wish that The WIngs would have coated the surface of the ice where the Avs blood was spilled so that it would have been immortalized forever.

[jsal222]

and igor objects

[shortguy632]

My favorite part is where Shanahan and Roy explode at 3:47

[christineblackrock]

Patrick Roy my role-model

[voorhor]

over all Detroit kicks ass

[DehumanizingSounds]

Oh and it's by Adrian Dater

[MafiaBacked]

McCarty deserved to be shot for that cheap-shot the dirty bastard.

[waltb1684]

@MafiaBacked Yes it was cheap shot McCarty got in, but Lemiux should've had his head up and known that there was a chance somebody would get him

[PSonak]

@MafiaBacked

If McCarty deserved to be shot then Claude deserved to be castrated, if he ever had any balls to begin with.

[MafiaBacked]

@PSonak yes claude lemieux deserved what he got completely but McCarty should have just battered him the proper way but after watching the lemieux shot i would have been telling mccarty to do that if i was a redwings fan.

[PSonak]

@MafiaBacked

Wow, a well-spoken and objective Avs fans. I had heard tales that this individual existed, but I never truly believed. Well played sir, well played.

[MafiaBacked]

@PSonak Haha i aint an Avs fan but a Sharks fan, claude played for us last year or the year before I think. As a result I do not like the wings and prefer the Avs to them but yeah lemieux deserved it, but you could say McCarty disfigured his facemaybe a little too much. You're a Wings fan I take it?

[PSonak]

@MafiaBacked

I am a Wings fan, so naturally I agree with everything that Claude got, with the possible exception of the knee to the face after he had dragged Claude to the bench. Gotta remember though. Claude wasn't going to fight, if he was going to get what he had coming to him then it would have to be a surprise.

[gemmcnutt]

thts what lemiux gets for that dirty hit on draper a year before

[DogbitE6661]

I think the Roy and Shannahan collision was one the best

[DehumanizingSounds]

McCarty sucker punched Lemieux but Lemieux has been a cheap shot his whole career. Got what he deserved. By the way, buy the book about this brawl. It's awesome...

[campinghippienate]

@DehumanizingSounds what is the name of the book

[DehumanizingSounds]

@campinghippienate Blood Feud: Detroit Red Wings v. Colorado Avalanche: The Inside Story of Pro Sports' Nastiest and Best Rivalry of Its Era

[311JARVIS]

The single greatest moment in sports, McCarty catches Lemieux.

[33vampires33]

Red Wings= A amazing team that got over the 15yr. old fight over 10yrs. ago.

Avalanche= pussy's that are still pissed we kicked their ass.

Really guys? Their is a reason why the Wings were pissed, Draper basically got his face broke. How would you feel if your best friend was Draper and saw the scars he got? Wouldn't you want to kick avalanche's ass? I know I would. Im Just saying though Avalanche NEEDS TO GET OVER IT!!!

[logan93561]

roy is the winner of all but one fight against osgood and that is because he fell so yea for all you redwings fans your goalie is not the winner

[33vampires33]

@logan93561 Osgood is our backup goalie not our real goalie anymore. Howard is our goalie. And I love how some people make excuses when the Wings kick their ass XD Its hilarious to hear them talk.

[wishinifishin]

@33vampires33 they wont get over it, I wouldnt if I got my ass whipped that bad! hahaha.Pussies. You might be able to pull that one over on the blues or rangers, but dont bring that shit to Detroit..... unless you want to crawl away

[AmbitiousMOnkey1100]

5:42 old guy with drink.. what i miss???

[AvalancheFever]

besides we couldnt fuck up their faces any more then they already are



[AvalancheFever]

roy got twice as many punches as vernon did

[AvalancheFever]

forsberg 1 red wings -2

[AvalancheFever]

9 CONSECUTIVE DIVISION TITLES

[AvalancheFever]

RED WINGS SUCK

[88razzledazzle]

@AvalancheFever yeah they do

[wishinifishin]

and that is why you dont start shit with the wings, shukini, your a dumbass. They saved that shit for home because they wanted to put on a show, and that they did. That little bitch lemeux got fucking owned. Roy, got owned. Avalanche have always been cheap shot artist and they got what they had coming to them. And now look, Red wings are still the best, and the avalanche are floormat

[logan93561]

@wishinifishin bull fucking shit the wings can suck my left nut

[33vampires33]

@wishinifishin Finally a Wing Fan. and your very right. Red Wings are still the best and Avalanche is very much the floor mat.

[WoodrowBramah781985]

roughhousehockey I mean if I, WoodrowBramah781985 am able to easily dunk, that being said anybody can, I'm merely 5'7 man. Just simply be dedicated to a working jump course like the one I'm following "50-inch-vertical(dot)com", it will raise your jumping ability and your quickness.

[youmanwhore]

man shanaon got in the way by collidin with roy who was tryin to get a piece of McCarty could u imagin roy and mccarty? omg that woulda been amazing!

[youmanwhore]

aww why was roy bloody uped? ohh yea cause the wings KNOW how to kick some ass

[yoshyBlab]

Avs win

[Salsaman51]

lemieux turtles up like a giant vigina!! mccarty jacked him up!!

[Shukini]

Colorado won most of the fights, it took to guys on Roy then Vernon to take him down. There were two guys on Foote as well. Red Wings are pussies. They faced off two times before this after the Draper hit, both in Colorado, and did nothing. Then they think they can pull that shit at home. Pussies.

[sandro0244]

@Shukini how many cups do the wings have again compared to the avs?? i forgot

[ThatsJuicyy]

@iceproductionss my bad lemieux deserved it...forgot about his cheap shot. still roy>vernon, in the fight and as a goalie

[ThatsJuicyy]

@iceproductionss are you dumb? roy fucked vernon up, vernon just ended on top of him, when they were actually swinging roy got the better hits...and mcarthy got lemieux when he was skating away straight cheap shit...

[angryellow313]

That was the game that the Wings told the world they were going to win the Stanley Cup, period.

[jvwoods]

McCarty threw a sucker punch like a fucking pussy.

[yonkers076]

TURTLE!

[draperskatetour]

Go redwings

[LoneWolfRage411]

Shanahan was great when he took down Roy! epic battle! Roys a bitch and got smoked by everyone!

[Khechen01]

AV'S SUCK AND YOU NO IT!!! GO REDWINGS!!!!! YEA GO DARREN McCARTY FOR HITTING THAT GUY HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

[Galset]

FUCK RED WINGS - LOOSERTOWN

LET'S GO AVS !

[yonkers076]

@Galset thats y your team couldnt beat a college team. you are jokes and adopted all of your wins from Quebeck. F'in Loser!

[Iceproductionss]

@Galset avs suck and there all pussys, red wings fucked them up

[cmushocker]

The worst part about this fight was that long time red wing commentator Mickey Redmond missed the entire thing! It was late in the period and he was in the elevator heading to rink level to interview a red wing during the intermission. He said he could here the roar of the crowd and he knew something big was happening. By the time he could see the rink, it was all over. I would have loved to hear his commentary in the booth when this was occurring live, would have been classic.....

[Salsaman51]

@cmushocker so true about micky he loves to see the fists fly and he would probably go down on the ice in shirt and tie and prolly do alright and destroy.

[CheapDutchmen]

@cmushocker Right on, that was the first thing I noticed after watching this replay, where the hell is micks commentary?

[KaoTiX10]

@cmushocker dude i love it!!!! i would love to hear mickey chirp the fight up. and since it was late in the period, you know he would have been drunk as hell while calling it!!!

[MegaHIGHpower]

ta mas toda hora ?¬¬'

[cliterouscarnage1]

Roy rocked everyone

[31m0r0]

@cliterouscarnage1 In that little fantasyworld of yours maybe...

[WEINBAUER]

You know what karma came back to bite Colorado everytime they started one of these brawls?The Red Wings won the cup.As a matter of fact they did it 3 times.1997,1998,and 2002.And we almost had a trifecta goalie fight in 2002,but the refs got between Hasek and Roy.

[CanuckFan96]

@WEINBAUER and 2008 

[WEINBAUER]

@CanuckFan96 They had a brawl in 2008?

[CanuckFan96]

@CanuckFan96 oh my bad srry but they won the cup in 2008

[Xello998]

Classic

[adamusprime1001]

ah... suck love in hockey, players lying together on the ice, hugging each other... such love... until they start punching each other!

[adamusprime1001]

hockey is not like soccer. soccer has the hooligans to fight in the stands and outside the stadiums. in hockey the players fight. we need hooligans in hockey, make it a little more interesting.

[phrozenflamee]

i went to a fight and a hockey game broke out

[drab6969]

We need more of this in hockey today!

[sabresrock234]

nice quality on here and haha this rivalry was brutal

[tilth01]

I like McCarty but, that was a total sucker punch.

[nickmacd]

@tilth01 DESERVED!

[InsaneBlaze23]

The Av's bled so much they can fund there own red cross. haha wht a pussy team, i wonder do there fans get into a turtle when they fight. This video is amazing.

[kpax45]

sucker punch by McCarthy!

[Iceproductionss]

@kpax45 lmao lemiux fuckin cheapshoted chris draper thats why mcaarthy beat the hell out of um. and vernon fucked roys shit up avs are pussys

[jvwoods]

@Iceproductionss its Kris Draper you fucking idiot and Draper should learn how to skate with his head up and then he wouldn't get his face rearranged.

[Iceproductionss]

@jvwoods lolzzz 3 av's got there faces rearranged haha

[BrettMessier23]

@kpax45 One that was deserved. Claude Lemieux was the biggest piece of shit that ever laced up the skates

[assholios12]

"I can't hear what Mike Vernon is saying cuz I have his fists plugging my ear." - Patrick Roy

[hockeypunk136]

Draper is a pussy anyways

[fruit12345678910]

[Lustreman]

Revenge <3

[ItsMeSmoke]

TURTLE!!

[Jackie87796]

roughhousehockey I mean if I, am able to dunk, then even you can, I am only 5'7 no joke! Simply just don't be lazy and follow a training program like the one I am following 50inch vertical[dot]com, it will maximize your leaping ability and your quickness.

wow McCarty with the cheapshot while his glove was on..

[carrollshelby222]

detroit 4ever

[camperonyx]

Best fight ever. 39 penaltys 1?9 pm, 50 feet of bandage and a goalie fight what more could u want

[dsajed]

To this day, the best game I've ever seen in my life. This game meant as much as any of the cup victories.

[robinhood10150]

and 7:24



[robinhood10150]

[robinhood10150]

watch brendan shanahan and patrick waa at 3:48

[uptownboyz100]

fuck yea.. go avs

[JasonM2879]

Lemieux got his ass whipped lmao

[dreasmeister]

@JasonM2879

dude got sucker punched with a hockey glove on

[brianelli526]

is there anybody else rather than just roughhousehockey tested out the nba exercise course for dunking and shooting? Even Kobe, Ray Allen and Gilbert Arenas have made use of this system. If you have no clue what I'm saying, just check it out urself 50 inch vertical (dot) com

[Lachausis]

Was Ozo (Ozolinš) participating in the brawl?

[USMCRedneck71]

McCartys line shoulda been "im here to fuck some shit up"

[gerardwolfe2764]

roughhousehockey I m 5'9 and dunking in games all the time - crazy right? If you want to know how I did it, check out 50inch vertical[dot]com

[markmian9310]

roughhousehockey incredible, just what else can I say. If you play basketball, you HAVE to all learn how to dunk, I only just a short while ago done the coaching program at 50 inch vertical (dot) com - dunking is so easy now! (I m merely 5'10!)

[AAUbball5108]

hockey is an awesome sport, wish i could play

[joness510]

this WAS an epic rivalry

[Tstevens204]

i wish this rivalry was still like this.... GO WINGs

[nymike40]

@Tstevens204 i think its funny that ppl who dont even folo hockey who say they do say they only like the wings which is funny cause there only a popular team thats it there not even good

[Tstevens204]

@nymike40 i am from michigan and i grew up playing hockey and watching the red wings, i have followed them since i was little and this rivalry is clearly not the same as it use to be. And the reason why they are popular is because they are A GOOD TEAM and continuously have good seasons. so i think thats its funny when ppl open their mouths and sound stupid

[nymike40]

@Tstevens204 o relly? and uhhh wat place were they in for 90% of the season o thats right dead last stupid kid why dont you go suck on a fat 1 and stop dreaming about going pros u sad little kid

[Tstevens204]

@nymike40 they were not in dead last and they still made playoffs , two years ago they won the fuking stanley cup and last year they made it to the finals so how are they not a good team. Your comments have nothing to do with what i originally said so go jump off a fucking cliff and stop sounding like a dumb ass

[nymike40]

@Tstevens204 uhh ok srry second 2 last and ya thats 2 years ago get over yourself

[Tstevens204]

@nymike40 im simply saying that they are a good team and there is plenty of proof to prove it... and im going to stop arguing with you becasue this has nothing to do with what i originally said

[stinkyloot138]

@uptownboyz100 why cuz the avs cant hang?

[EnjoiFLiP412]

this was one of the greatest series i have ever seen

[armenianply]

go wings we kicked their asses. those pussies. go wings.

[nymike40]

@armenianply seeing how the wings got put away by san jose in 5 games u shudnt be talking bout the avs being pussys

[DerangedRanger1]

In short, McCarty lowered himself to the level of the cheap shot taker.

[Octoberville]

@DerangedRanger1 Live by the sword, die by the sword

[khuddle]

Man these two teams were loaded...Federov, Forsberg, Yzerman, Sakic, Vernon, Roy, Shanahan, Krupp, Larionov, Foote, Shanahan...two freaking all star teams. In today's Salary Cap NHL, you'll never see 2 juggernauts like this again :(

[SpoopsLittleHelper]

God the red wings are so friking violent!

[uptownboyz100]

@SpoopsLittleHelper dude their like fucking the worst rivals to the avs

[Swicey69]

McCarty just laid in into him!

[mackie252007]

Roy the pussy he is leaves his catching Glove on! what a Pussy!
