CAredwingsfan91 28 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 i hated him so much when he went to calgary, mostly it just sucked to see him leave but he fits into their system well with their grinding and punishing other teams i felt bad that he went bankrupt and all that s***, hes a great guy so i'm hoping he pulls through all that BS.

arnoldbuck 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 I miss Mac as much as the next wings fan, okay, well perhaps not as much as some, but his time is done. He scored some huge goals for us, as key to the cups, and a spirited leader who backed down from nothing! But Snepts put it best in the last McCarty Thread: (refering to McCarty mainly, but a handful of other ppl also brought up Shanny) "Those guys will always be Red Wings in my book, and a small part of me would love to see them come home, but nostalgia doesn't win Cups." Its true. We loved them, we will miss them, and always have that place in our hearts for them. But they are now just great memories, and it is in those memories and only those memories that they should be wearing our jersey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 The Wings have some toughness on their roster now. You want to debate whether they were tougher or grittier/not tougher or grittier than the days when guys like McCarty, LaPointe, or Konstantinov were around, be my guest, but the brief point is they have guys that aren't afraid to muck it up (Bertuzzi, Markov, Calder, and a few others to a lesser extent in Cleary/Samuelsson/Lilja). Spare the Samuelsson jokes, I don't care if I get roasted on them, I've seen him stick up for a teammates before in games. McCarty will always have a soft place in my heart during his Red Wing years, but he's a shell of his former self on the ice IMO. If he was the McCarty of the late 90s/early 00s, then I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Not now though. That being said, here's a :chug: to McCarty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 That had to be the toughest team ever. I mean McCarty and Probert alone would have to constitute that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tangstoiggy Report post Posted April 15, 2007 I Love D-Mac, even if he isn;t playing....he is at least there in the Locker room and he is an awesome Leader for the Flames team right now., He may dress in this series yet...just hope its for you Detroit fans,,,,, in Detroit.
