Rivalry?

Tonight the Colorado Avalanche will play an old time but not so current rival in the Detroit Red Wings one day after the passing of NHL legend, and former Wing, Ted Lindsay. Lindsay pioneered the NHL players association and is a celebrated member of the Red Wings dynasty that will truly be missed around the league.

It has been 20 years since what I refer to as the glory days.
