Happy Turtle Day

I watched this game on ESPN. It was hyped like no other hockey game I could remember at the time. I also recall screaming at the TV "HIT HIM HARDER!" Ahh, memories. Like the corners of my mind. Misty, water-colored memories. Of the way we were.

This is why I love being a Wings fan. No other team celebrates an anniversary like this. I'm wearing my McCarty shirt and I will be watching a dvd of the game very shortly.

Hell of an idea. I do watch that puppy about once a year. Ah, the memories. Can't decide whether the 2002 playoff-butt-kicking of Wah or THIS one is my favorite. Then again, who says I have to choose? :yowza:

What a great team bonding experience this day was back in 97.

These 2011 Red Wings need something similar. Not saying they should pummel their next opponent's heads into the ice (yeah right...) but something that would unify the team would be quite awesome.

I really beleive that was a key factor in winning the cup that year, nothing unites a team more than that.

well thats cuz other teams get to watch fights during their games, we have to watch videos from 14 years ago to see some good wings fights. <_<

Yes indeed, this is sweet. Thanks for putting it on here. What does it say (other than "sweet") and who signed it? Thanks!

"Sweet Revenge" Signed by Mac. Little 25 by the signature.

I thought it said "Sweet Revenge."

And I guess I'm one of those few who thinks Claude and McCarty's reconciliation has more to do with the money and media opportunities than anything real. The Draper incident was the worst, but Lemieux was a dirty player his whole career. And I also don't buy that he turtled because the first punch rang his bell.

I think that the Pens almost comeback was a step in that direction.

I agree completely.

Well, have a look at the picture. It's from July 2011 and during a hockey camp here in Switzerland.

Can anybody explain what the red wings logo and toronto means and why is turtle wearing that stuff???
