Guest micah Report post Posted March 18, 2010 I wish I got TSN. Hopefully it's on Youtube by tomorrow. I'd like to hear their thoughts on their feud - though I'm not expecting fireworks and I'm thinking that they must have respect for eachother by now. Afterall, Lemieux was without question a great player, as was McCarty was great in his own way - he was far more capable a hockey player than most who played his role. Mac did what he had to do by going after Claude, then the next time they met Claude showed Mac that he wasn't scared of him, challenging him to a straight-up fight that was actually pretty close. In addition, both of them came back out of nowhere to play in the NHL again after most thought their days were done - that alone should is noteworthy and oughta endear them to eachother a little bit. 1 miller76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 Watching those videos makes me really miss that rivalry. What transpired between those two teams from '96 to '02 was something I've never seen in my lifetime in any other sport, and it depresses me to think I likely won't ever see the Wings in that epic of a rivalry again. 1 NvrFrgtRussian5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 No doubt...That rivalry during those years is what the league could use today (minus of course the cheap shot, and ensuing injury that more or less started it all); IMHO it was a rivalry that attracted many non-hockey fans to watch. Might we see something similar tonight between the Pens/Bruins? I remember back sometime around 2000-2001 ESPN asked what was the best rivalry in all of sports. The options were as follows: - Detroit Red Wings-Colorado Avalanche - New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox - Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears - Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings - *One more option I can't remember* - Other The Wings-Avalanche collected something like 47% of the total votes! No other rivalry was within 25% of that total. Think about the significance of that given how little ESPN showed hockey at that point in time. 2 PrairieDawg and Original-Six reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting enough - but only two of those (Packers/Bears and Yankees/RedSocks) have any real staying power. The fact that the Wings Av brawl was still recent in people's memories clearly had a huge inpact on that poll. I doubt it would make the top 10 today (and it shouldn't) but the two I mentioned would. Just as they would have in 1990, 1980, 1970 and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the book written about the rivalry they say it was over. A few years later I believe when Claude was on another team during a game/pregame he told DMac he's glad to hear he's off gambling and alchol, etc. Basically he was burying the hatchet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 Wouldn't it be funny if the Pens dress Brookbank and Godard and play them on the same line as Matt Cooke tonight? Oh and as for McCarty and Lemieux, I'm surprised Mac would even want to be in the same room as that bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king_malice 17 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 On TSN right now is like the twilight zone Claude Lemiuex is sitting right beside Darren McCarty, it is a great episode of the show there talking about the Draper hit, the brawl, Lemiuex going onto the Wings bus to challenge Scotty. Ill try and find a link for it and post it or if you can look for it on later tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 I saw the last 10 minutes, after 13 years, I don't have a problem with Mac and Claude getting along. However until Lemieux says sorry to Draper, he's scum. 2 Hockeymom1960 and Blaayze reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manoir 70 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 Gained a lot of respect for Lemieux after this interview. Had no idea he jumped on the Wings bus to challenge Scotty,hahaha. The late 90's was such a great time, 2 great rivalries at their peak, Wings vs Avs and WCW vs WWF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
