The Memories

The Rocky Mountain News is saying goodbye and featuring some of the stories from the past…

Mike Keane hopes he hasn’t seen the last of the Detroit Red Wings.

``I’ve got no problem playing a heartless team in the playoffs,’’ Keane said Wednesday night following the Colorado Avalanche’s 6-5 overtime loss to its bitter rival.

``That team has no heart. They showed their true colors tonight. Everyone’s gutless. Sure, I’d like to see them again.’‘

The busiest people at aptly named Joe Louis Arena were the maintenance people given the task of blotting blood puddles off the ice.

It was the most vicious game yet between the teams, not a surprising development as it marked Claude Lemieux’s first visit to Detroit since his well-publicized hit on Kris Draper in last year’s playoffs.
