I was on a bus traveling from Houghton, Michigan down to Kalkaska, Cadillac, Big Rapids, Kalamazoo and finally Ann Arbor, a 17-hour ride, when the Detroit Red Wings massacred the Montreal Canadiens 11-2 on December 2nd, 1995. The victory spelled the end of Patrick Roy’s time with the Montreal Canadiens, and may very well have cost the Wings a Cup or two as Roy was then traded to the Colorado Avalanche.
Alex Wood, a.k.a. AWood40 on YouTube, has posted almost fourteen minutes’ worth of highlights from the game–one that I heard on the radio–and I hope you enjoy the highlights:
For what it’s worth, I was on a trip to see Michigan Tech University, and the combined 34 hours’ worth of bus travel made me decide against going to what is a fine school; I ended up doing all right for myself by attending the University of Michigan, and the trip was fun–it introduced me to an album called “What’s the Story [Morning Glory]?” from Oasis, as well as a film called Up in Smoke. I don’t imbibe, but Cheech and Chong are geniuses.
