This is the first Wings game I remember going to as a kid. Thanks for uploading it!

Fedorov's silky mitts at 8:40 left in the third... Man, that dude was smooth as fuck.

[debisusan]

Beautiful game! We will be this good again, real soon! Can't wait!!! LGRW!!!

[natebellville]

Who would've known that Mike Goldberg would've called this beatdown and the Fight Night at the Joe just a year and four days apart...both times against the Avs

[chardeemacdennis]

Man I loved this team as a high schooler setting the NHL reg season win record.. and if I'm not mistaken the bulls set the NBA record the same year

[karw]

Love seeing Vlad’s hits! Forberg crushed

[theawayfan]

Tim Taylor with 2 good looking goals in this one, gotta love the unsung heros! LGRW🐙🏒🤘

[christosdeschaine]

lol I never get tired of watching Roy get humiliated. He was such a joke against Detroit after he joined the Avs. After the trade from Montreal, in regular season games, he went 10-16-0 and allowing the Wings 77 goals in those 26 games.

Should upload the very first Avs game even though you don't like posting losses.
