Ask any Detroit Red Wings fan where they were when Steve Yzerman scored his most famous goal. They’ll all have a story. I woke up the house screaming at the game that was late into the night. This included my then 12-year-old brother who couldn’t stay up that late. It was a monumental event forever etched in Detroit hockey history.
This was a moment, as a Red Wings fan, where you worried all the momentum that came to a screeching halt in 1995 was only going to get worse. The Red Wings struggled in this series against a goaltender they were never supposed to face.
