11/13/1983 Red Wings at Rangers (most of game)

This game featured the return of Eddie Mio, Eddie Johnstone, and Ron Duguay as Red Wings, after a huge trade with Detroit the previous summer. Duguay was the big one, as he had been a Ranger for six seasons, and was one of their top playoff goal scorers those years. Mio must have been nervous, as he had a bad game in goal, and the Rangers coasted to an easy win. Original MSG broadcast, complete 1st and 2nd periods, just a small part of the third. Rookie (and future HOFer) Steve Yzerman scored a late goal for Detroit. All copyrights property of the NHL and MSG. Posted for historic and nostalgic reasons only.
