After Scotty Bowman took over as Coach in 1993/1994, he became the guiding force that developed the Detroit Red Wings into the big "Red Machine" in the second half of the 90's and beyond.
The Red Wings had finally become the Team that the 19, and all Red Wing's Fans everywhere had waited for, all of our Hockey lives. A juggernaut. In the beginning it was Yzerman, Fedorov, the Russian Five, the Grind Line, Shanny, Martin LaPointe, Joey Kocur, Dougie Brown, Murph, Lidstrom. With later additions like Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. Just to name a few.
But, so many of the very best games the Wings played were against the Avalanche.
