"Some of us might remember that John Denver used to sing about a Rocky Mountain High. Well, today the Red Wings have journeyed to the city of Denver on the edge of the Rocky Mountains to the home of their old nemesis the Colorado Avalanche looking for a different kind of high - that being the high score in a first period of a hockey game. Too many of the last set of games have seen their opponents jump ahead early, leaving Detroit a huge mountain of goals against to climb, and only 40 minutes to do it in." - Plausible Keats
