Regarded as one of the greatest regular seasons in NHL history, the Red Wings eclipsed the all-time record of most regular-season wins with 62, a record previously set at 60 by the 1976–77 Montreal Canadiens. This record was later tied by the 2018–19 Tampa Bay Lightning, and broken by the 2022–23 Boston Bruins, with their groundbreaking 65 wins that was set as a new NHL record.Russo Eric Bruins Close Out Historic Regular Season with Win in Montreal https://www.nhl.com/bruins/news/bruins-close-out-historic-regular-season-with-win-in-montreal-343527354 2023-06-13 NHL.com en-US During the regular season, they garnered a total of 131 points, marking the highest tally since the Montreal Canadiens amassed 132 points in 1976–77. They surpassed most of that year's NBA season win records except for the Seattle SuperSonics (64–18) and the Chicago Bulls (72–10) being the only teams to win more games. The Red Wings had two winning streaks of nine games and had a 13-game unbeaten streak from March 3, 1996, to March 31, going 12–0–1 during that stretch. Having the best record in the league, the Red Wings were awarded the Presidents' Trophy. During the 1995–96 regular season, the Red Wings were the only team to score at least one goal in all 82 of its games. While the team is remembered for its record-breaking regular season, it ended in heartbreaking fashion in the playoffs. Detroit lost five games to Winnipeg and St. Louis, both teams that failed to get above 80 points in the regular season, including having to go to a decisive game 7 against St. Louis. They were ultimately upset by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche, winning only two of the six games in the series, and failed to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. Throughout the season, the Red Wings achieved a total of 72 victories, which was on par with the 1976-77 Canadiens. Off-season In September 1995, the former 1974 draft pick and attorney Bill Evo was appointed president the Detroit Red Wings.Ludington Daily News - July 24, 1996, Page 7 Regular season November 28, 1995: The Montreal Canadiens were playing the Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. The day before the game, Mario Tremblay spoke to Mario Leclerc of Le Journal de Montreal. Tremblay mentioned that he was resentful of current Red Wings head coach Scotty Bowman. He had played under Bowman for the first five years of his NHL career, and Tremblay told Leclerc that Bowman always threatened to send him to the minors. Roy Michel Patrick Roy Winning, Nothing Else 2008 John Wiley & Sons 978-0-470-15616-2 350 When Leclerc approached Cournoyer, he stated that he did not want to speak about Bowman.

The next day, Le Journal de Montreal had a headline that stated, "Bowman has the last word." December 2, 1995: The Red Wings played at the Montreal Forum (their final season for the Habs before they moved to the Bell Centre) and dealt Tremblay's Montreal Canadiens their worst home game in franchise history, with an 11–1 win.http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/ind06Roy.htm Patrick Roy Hockey Hall of Fame 2008-04-29 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20080221214729/http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/ind06Roy.htm 2008-02-21 The Habs' star goaltender Patrick Roy allowed nine goals on 26 shots (five in the first period, and then another four in the second period), and the crowd jeered him whenever he made an easy save during the second period after the game was already 7–1 in favor of the Red Wings. In response, Roy raised his arms in mock celebration. When Head Coach Mario Tremblay finally pulled Roy in the middle of the second period in favor of Pat Jablonski (who allowed two more goals), Roy stormed past him and told Canadiens President Ronald Corey, "It's my last game in Montreal." https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=145407 Remembering Roy's Career-Changing Game TSN 2005-12-02 2008-04-29 Tremblay was roundly criticized for not relieving Roy earlier, violating the unwritten rule that a star goaltender be taken out of the game once it is clear he is having an off-night.http://blogcritics.org/revisiting-st-patrick-roy-and-le/ Revisiting St. Patrick Roy and "Le Trade" Blogcritics 2014-02-19 2014-02-01 https://web.archive.org/web/20140201220905/http://blogcritics.org/revisiting-st-patrick-roy-and-le/ dead Roy was traded to the Colorado Avalanche after that game, and he played a key role in eliminating the Red Wings during the Western Conference Finals, precipitating the Avalanche–Red Wings rivalry.
