My second favorite hockey moment: Redwings and Avalanche brawl from 1997
Kids, HockeyI have thought about this game many times in the last ten years and thanks to YouTube I get to see it again! This game was utter intensity as they were both fighting into the start of the playoffs. When Claude Lemieux pounded Kris Draper's face into the boards along the bench crushing his orbital bone, things absolutely exploded. Shortly after Darren McCarty relentlessly beat the snot out of Lemieux. Even goalies Mike Vernon and Patrick Roy met at center ice to pounded it out. There was a camera angle I saw at the time that didn't show up very well in this. That was when Roy was skating from the goal to join the fight and was clotheslined by (I think??) Brendan Shannahan. If I find that angle I will add that to this entry later. Anyway... hockey fan or not, watch and enjoy!
