In 1996, Avalanche player Claude Lemieux attacked Red Wing Kris Draper throwing his face into the boards and breaking his jaw. Lemieux enjoyed the reputation as a cheap shot artist and dirty player. In March 1997, the Wings achieved a measure of revenge. Darren McCarty crushed Claude Lemieux in a brawl-filled contest forcing Lemieux to turtle. Even the goalies fought as Mike Vernon pummeled Patrick Roy. McCarty scored the GW goal in overtime. The win propelled Detroit to its first Stanley Cup since 1955. The teams later engaged in two other major brawls. In 1998, Wings goalie Chris Osgood beat up Patrick Roy.
