    Thanks for making this. This was hockey at it's greatest. Both teams just awesome.

  6. GrizzlyWhisker

    As a Detroit native of Hockeytown, this was such an epic era to watch hockey. The Red Wings had such a dream team during this time and the Avalanche were solid opponents. It was so awesome because both teams hated each other and so did the fans. I used to go to games with my dad back then and somebody would always smuggle in an octopus and throw it onto the ice during the game lol.

    Both goalies played out out of their minds in this series. You cant deny Roys greatness, and that Vernon rose to every occasion. Hockey at its very finest

    Had to come here to clear my head after watching 5 minutes of soccer aka grown men trying to fake injuries

    25 years later and it's still satisfying watching this beat down

  11. Woady

    This shit was epic. There wont be anything like this ever again. Glad i was able to experience this as a kid.

  12. angus the cat

    someone should do a 30 for 30 espn documentary for this rivalry but it wont happen because ESPN SUCKS NOW!

  16. Stellan Hallerby

    Best rivalry ever! Even though we all know that Forsberg is the GOAT of ice hockey, Larionov was on fire that series! I forgot how lightweight he was. Like a rocket, almost like Bure.

  19. RocketCityRocker

    Watching this series 25 years later, I have to say I think it may be underappreciated what Tomas Sandstrom brought to this series. I don't think he scored a single point in this series, but he clearly got under the Avs skin, as evidenced by Mike Keane punching him from the bench in Game Two (or Three?) and the sequence starting at 42:18 ending with Ozolinsh giving him a two-handed slash out of frustration.

  21. Luke Converse

    Miss those years of hockey. Greatest rivalry in nhl history. Glad my wings got the better of the cheap shot, dirty, sneak bitches avalanche more often then not.
