It isn’t the same rivalry it was through the 1990s and early 2000s, but if you were around for those days, your stomach turns when you hear the name Colorado Avalanche. The Detroit Red Wings who’ve lost seven in a row will look to end the streak in the mile high city tonight.
The days of Joe Sakic and Steve Yzerman squaring off at center ice to open the evening and Sergei Fedorov matching Peter Forsberg stride for stride are long behind us. Every time I think of Colorado, my mind automatically goes to Darren McCarty pummeling Claude LePuke.
