TopShelf's Journal: The Mother of All Hockey Brawls - 10 Year Anniversary

The uber-brawl between Colorado and Detroit occured 10 years ago today, and back in those days I wrote for a hockey website called In the Crease (where "Top Shelf" was the title of my column, and became my /. nick). It was a purely "by the fan, for the fan" endeavor, but we had garnered enough credibility that I was issued a press pass to cover this, the most anticipated regular season game in ages. I've posted the original piece I wrote that evening over at my blog (complete with a link to some video of the game), since ITC is no more, only to be found over at the Internet Archive.

Enjoy...

i can't believe it has been ten years. that just makes me feel old. my dad, my brother and i were all in the living room - prepped and ready for that game. we knew it was going to be exciting and it did not disappoint. i'll have to call them and remind them how long it has been. thanks for bringing it up.
