Red Wings - Blackhawks rough stuff 11/29/90

[@jwest7650]

What a great era, I was so lucky to be able to watch the wings every game

[@HailMich]

Crazy when I think of my childhood watching the wings comes to mind first lol. Loved yzerman. But Federov was the man.

[@wildwinger-19]

I got the Colorado Games WTH both big fights and I love Yzerman THE BEST CAPTAIN

[@uTubeNoITube]

I didn't really start to seriously get into hockey until I was about 9 or 10 so I dont remember much before 1994 but it was indeed a great time to love hockey as a kid in Michigan! I remember very distinctly being disappointed about losing in the Cup Final to New Jersey but also not being old enough to quite exactly understand it all yet haha.

[@RedWingsFanClub]

One of my best memories is drinking out of the Stanley cup in 08

[@oldjarhead386]

There walls more clutching and grabbing to go with the bigger hit. This frees up players and ice. I think the players look better because of it.

[@LqdSanity79]

@@oldjarhead386 Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr, Yzerman, Sakic, Forsberg, Hull, Modano, etc seemed to do just fine during the "clutch and grab" era. McDavid and Matthews are amazing talents, but how much of that is because nobody is allowed to touch them? How good would they be if they had to fight for every inch of ice? Hockey was better in the 90's.

[@TonyMichaels166]

Mickey Redmond is still one of our color guys to this day! So glad to hear his voice on this one!

[@bbqbeer1883]

He's a Detroit legend forever thru and through

[@Larry_Harvilla]

Minor nitpick, Mickey Redmond is and always has been a color commentator rather than a play-by-play man. They are separate roles. That doesn't take anything away from Mickey's greatness and longevity in his role, but we should be sure to call what he does by its correct name. In this video, Mickey Redmond is paired with Dave Strader, who worked several years in Detroit. The other play-by-play guy who has been paired with Mickey for many years is Ken Daniels.

[@cleech74]

I’d never seen this clip, until now. Man this game had it all. First, Belfour gets peppered early, and yanked for Cloutier. McGill & Probert go, and ends with the 2nd knockdown. McKay comes back against Grimson, and bloodies his nose. Kocur scores on the penalty shot! Grimson & Kocur have a decent scrap, and ends in a draw. McGill smashes Chiasson with the dirty face-to-the-dasher smash. Chelios dumps Probert on his ass, with a good check. Then two power play goals to close it out. Both teams had so many beloved players, several not even featured, since it’s a “rough stuff” video montage.

[@spazzticzeal6238]

Listen to the organ. Nothing like Chicago Stadium.

[@Larry_Harvilla]

That thing was a beast. I think it had five manuals (keyboards) and the pedalboard, for a total of six divisions (groupings of pipes). Most church organs, by comparison, usually only have a great division, a swell division, and the pedal division, three in total; large/old church organs might add a choir or positiv (poz-ih-TEEV, as the word comes from French) division and have four divisions. That beast in "the Madhouse on Madison" had at least six.

Classic Norris hockey with this brutal rivalry. The game is so much faster today & the skill is ridiculous, but this is when hockey was more of a battle than playing a game.
