Do you have the entire game by any chance?
Hey, I was at this game
Dave and Panger were a great duo.
I forgot about Wregget.
Wreggit played in 29 games that season, his only year in Detroit and his last year in the NHL. He'd finish with a 14-10-2 record as Osgood's primary backup.
I have almost no memory of watching him as a Wing, so I had to look him up Detroit picked him up as a free agent before the season started.
Just remember that same year Hasek dragged that Sabres team to the Finals
Those were the days…
Those Buffalo unis were nice.
Did they pull the goalie to put in a new goalie only to pull that goalie to put in the originsl goalie?? Not sure I've ever seen that! 😂 Anyway, i miss these good old days when the Wings absolutely dominated.
The camera man was not ready for that penalty shot 😂
RIP Dave Strader
