But we got a different story. With about seven minutes left in the third, all hell broke loose once again, to provide Red Wing fans with the most entertaining game of the year. We can all chuckle at the bitter taste we know is in Colorado's mouths... because this one was a CLASSIC.
Woo hoo! The Wings season had been pretty good so far, but lately, things hadn't been so hot. Suddenly, there was a full scale brawl and Roy was signalling for OsGOD to go. Ozzie knew they were up in that game, and he remembered what his mentor Vernon's pasting of Roy had done for the Wingies last season... And Ozzie met the challenge. Was anyone sitting down when Osgood skated out to center and removed his blocker, trapper and helmet? No chance!
They went at it as Mickey and I screamed our heads off. At first, Roy seemed to get the better of Ozzie (who is about 60 lbs lighter), as the big fruit landed a few rights on his smaller opponent. Osgood held in there though, and with the crowd roaring, he got his jersey off while holding back "Waah" and then started laying in some hefty blows of his own. After that Roy could simply do nothing and Osgood whipped him down, fell on top of him and ground his face against the ice.
