I was listening to Bob Cole at the time. Though, I pretty much repressed the entire affair. I was glad to see that the punk Borchevsky never went on to do anything else in his career. A fitting punishment for such an evil deed.
It was a horrible night. My hockey watching buddies got invited to the game by some third party, so I was basically stuck watching it alone. Granted, it was better than seeing it live, but it was horrible.
It was only to be topped in the the following year, when the Wings got beat by the Sharks. That was the darkest point of my hockey fandom. I was depressed for days. I worked at sporting goods store at the time and refused to touch any merchandise that carried the Sharks logo. I actually banned hockey for a good seven or so months (aided by the strike, of course). So angry. So very, very angry...
