Chris Osgood vs. Patrick Roy. No, that’s not the latest UFC fight card match-up, but it had the drama and intensity to be. It has been nearly 20 years since this epic battle took place, however, for Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche fans it seems like only yesterday.
Hockey fights were part of the game decades ago, but two goalies skating the length of the ice to battle it out was simply unheard of, until these two teams met up on April 1, 1998 at Joe Louis Arena.
Not many fans remember that the Red Wings won that night 2-0, or that Sergei Fedorov scored both of those goals.
