Red Wings' news,and commentary...

Saturday:Red Wings/Colorado Avalanche,at Coors Field,in Denver... note:the alumni game should be a little more interesting,because players on both teams do not want anything to do with each other,in the pre-game festivities... they still hate each other,especially Claude Lemieux and everyone on the alumni roster,for the Red Wings... goaltenders Patrick Roy,and Chris Osgood actually fought each other at center ice,in one of their games... expect Roy,who is now the Avalanche's head coach,to play in the alumni game... it looks like that Osgood will not play... the Red Wings' announcers basically begged Osgood to play... personal note:i used to circle all four games,when the Red Wings played in the Western Conference,and took glee,in how both teams "hated" each other... i remember the last playoff game between the two teams:Red Wings 7,Avalanche 0,when Roy tried a Statue of Liberty stop of the puck (raising of puck above head),and the puck rolled out of his glove,and was tapped into his own net,by the Red Wings... he gave up six of the seven goals,that day... funny thing is that if you got him mad and rattled,he usually played like crap,and the Red Wings always knew how to rattle him,at critical times...
