yeah sorry...1997...I am just full of #-o the last couple of days. it is hard to explain, but claude lemieux had been a thorn in the wings side the previous 2 playoffs seasons and then put the cherry on top with a cheap shot against kris draper in game 6 of the western conference finals. the march 26 1997 game was revenge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kou0p5oI4Xk Yeah I definitely remember the peak of the Wings-Avs rivalry. Good times. I remember feeling jealous because the Hawks were fading, the Wings were winning Cups, and the Avs were stealing our rivals away. I also felt conflicted becuase even I hated Claude Lemieux and being a Wings hater I wasn't supposed to.
