Fight Night at the Joe

Today was the 15th Anniversary of "Fight Night at the Joe", the legendary brawl between the Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche in 1997. One of the best hockey games of all  time, Darren McCarty got revenge against the evil Claude Lemieux for his dirty hit that injured Kris Draper the year before, pummeling Lemieux in to the famous 'turtle posisition", while the goalies Mike Vernon and Patrick Roy fought at center ice. And besides the fights, it was a great game, the Wings winning 6-5 in overtime, with the hero of the night McCarty scoring the game winning goal. Hockey will NEVER see a rivalry like this again!
