It was just the second year of the Steve Yzerman era with the Detroit Red Wings, and while it may have taken the team a little while to find their strides, they sure knew how to take care of themselves.

Six players were ejected and 94 penalty minutes issued. We don’t often see hockey like that anymore, but it sure brought the fans to their feet!
