Tonight’s scores have a personal touch as 3 Illegal Curve contributors (Richard, Adam and I) plus Charles S had the opportunity to attend the Detroit/Colorado game. Amazingly the rivalry continues despite Colorado’s current position (15th in the West) and this was evident from the crowd size and noise. I have included a clip from the shootout which won’t really showcase the goals but does show the fervor of Red Wings nation.
