In my opinion best rivalry ever ,Im glad its not just a hometown bias.

I've always been a Penguins fan since Battleship Kelly in the 70's, who played for both (best nickname ever by the way). And my son was named after Jagr. The wife wouldn't let me do Jaromir, which was fine, but I had a workaround in mind and the boy's first 2 letters are JA and 1st two of the last name GR, so I got it in there.
Anyhow......I hated the Red Wings, still do. I didn't care for Colorado either, but loved Patrick Roy. So leaned toward Colorado very very slightly, but rooted for Detroit in the playoffs who ever they played against just so they could beat them and eventually face Colorado.
Just the most intense games ever, amazing talent on both sides, and the fights and bad blood were things of beauty.
Not to mention Bob "Probation" Probert playing on both the Wings and the Hawks.
Ah, those were the days.
