 Wingnut Residing in Denver May 22, 2007
By David E. Ford
"Wingnut"
As a 27 year Detroit native living the last 13 years in Denver, I was in the emotional vortex of this great rivalry. This book was a great read and brought back all the polar feelings from these incredible games and bloody fights. Mr. Dater retells this story in a bioptic fashion, delving into the important characters and the stories behind the story. He points out the strange ironic twists that festered into this Hockey hatred. His fact finding was thorough and impressive on both teams. His writing style is casual, easy to read and similar to Jon Krakauer's "Into thin Air." Anyone who suggests Avalanche bias is way off base. This Denver newspaper writer is arguably tougher on the Av's than the Wings with most negative ink heaped on Lemieux and Crawford and some not too flattering episodes by Patrick Roy. Luckily this was an easy read because I had a hard time putting it down after page 1. Sent a copy to my brother in Detroit and he was late to work the morning he cracked it open. He showed the book to his boss and his tardiness was quickly forgotten and his book quickly borrowed.

Insight Into One of Modern Sports Greatest Rivalries - A Must Read For All Hockey Fans Mar 15, 2007
By William A. Long
"A Wing's Fan"
Adrian Dater has written an unbiased, insightful book about one of hockey's hardest fought rivalries. In this very readable account, Dater gives hockey fans a behind-the-scenes look at the people and events that made up this rivalry. Even though I followed this rivarlry on television and in the newsprint, I was unaware of the actual conversations and actions of the players and coaches on and off the ice. Mr. Dater also provides biographical accounts of some of the major participants, like Claude Lemieux and Darren McCarty. These accounts add insight into the rivalry. I would highly recommend this book to all hockey fans, young and old, especially to fans of The Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche.

This is a must have book for any serious hockey fan. Aug 13, 2008
By Christopher S. Spaulding
Adrian Dater's account of the feud (and it was bloody!) between the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche is chuck a block full of previously unknown, but hilarious, peculiar (Scotty Bowman is a unique dude to say the least), and riveting inside information and anecdotes. Dater, a hockey writer for the Denver Post, is no homer, and plays it fair, being equally snarky and funny about both teams. Dater covered every game of the 90's between these two rivals, and its all facinatingly covered in this book. Its a terrific read and manditory bookshelf inclusion for all true hockey fans.

A Good Read Jun 14, 2008
By Steve Komito
There's a lot more to learn in this book than just the infamous brawl that took place on 3/26/97. Player backgrounds, behind the scenes issues, trades are looked into and evaluated. The entire history of the feud from Lemieux's hit on Kris Draper which started the whole mess to the finale of McCarty and Lemieux making their peace years later - in different uniforms. The book is not an elongated read. It moves fairly quickly and if your like me and are interested by facts that no one but you will probably ever care about then this one is for you. I do remember thinking during those days that I wish the Rangers vs. their rivals be it the Devils, Islanders or Flyers had that much heat and intensity. It was the last true NHL feud before Bettman and Company slowly began killing the game when teams were still allowed to police the ice, when referees knew how to call a game (and what not to call in a game). When most people across the country could see these games on ESPN(2)and when fans intelligence weren't constantly being insulted by what has now become the PC world of NHL hockey.

Fun read, surprisingly unbiased Apr 22, 2008
By Benjamin Drenth
I'm a big Red Wings fan, and while this book looked interesting at first glance, I worried that it would be slanted in the Avs favor/perspective given that the author has followed and written about the Avs since they moved to Denver. Happily, this was not the case, as both sides were evenly covered.
The strength of the book is its coverage of the history of several of the major players on each side as well as a revealing look behind the scenes. I watched most of these hockey games, but I didn't know much of what was going on in the front offices and lockerooms.
My only complaint is that more of the on-ice action could have been added in, and I think that this would have fleshed out the entire book more completely. All in all, though, this is a fun read and is strongly recommended for all Wings and Avs fans.
