If you are a regular reader of this website, you probably already know that I am an Atheist who doesn’t celebrate either Hanukah or Christmas. In fact, there is only one holiday that I do honor and it lands on today’s date.

No, not Boxing Day. Today is the 19th anniversary of Sergei Fedorov scoring five goals against the Washington Capitals at the Joe Louis Arena. And on every December 26th, the DSR celebrates this incredible achievement.

The Wings won that game 5-4 in overtime. Yes, #91 scored every goal for Detroit that evening. Or as Rich Eisen called it on ESPN …. “the final score Sergei Fedorov 5 Washington Capitals 4.”

I would recommend that you properly reflect on this High Holy Day and also send a letter to the Red Wings demanding the franchise retire Fedorov’s #91 immediately.

Happy Sergei Fedorov Five-Goal Night!!!!!!
