Being a Penguins fan, I hated the way all the other teams had these a-hole players like Claude Lemieux, Kasparitus, Dale Hunter, etc. who were decent players, but for some reason decided to in addition to being physical, threw in dangerous dirty play and cheap shots. It took me a few years to realize what a cheap shot artist Ulf Samuelsson was in addition to being a pretty good defenseman. Why couldn't they have just played good physical hockey? How many 50/50s would Cam Neely have had?
@son0fearth those three guys you first mentioned played during a time where dirtiness was common. it was undoctrine to give a cheapshot. i understand what you mean. and being a redwings fan, you are a very respectable penguins fan and i appreciate you not talking shit.
best rivalry i can remember in hockey, by far the 2 best teams in the NHL at the time, and to see them playing that game brings up great memories, i wish there was something that would resemble that rivalry today consisting of the skill and grit these two teams had
McCarty-Lemieux II - the fight where instead of sucker punching Claude, Darren had to fight face-to-face like a man ... hmmm results come out a little bit different, eh?
14 years later after the hit on Draper and a lot a blood spilled, the Red Wings with "4" Stanley Cup wins puts any dispute over who is the better team, organization, etc, etc, etc to rest....Let's go Red Wings!
Gota love Shanahan and McCarty hooking up for that last goal. You know what though I have a feeling that if Roy hadnt goten his face pounded in by Vernon he might have stoped that shot. The hug at the end though that just said it all that was truely the best moment.
Go ahead and lie to yourself some more. Lemieux didn't get the better of McCarty EVER. He got his ass handed to him and knew he didn't want to go down that road again. He's a pussy. He was a dirty player, and others around the league pounded on him for it. But McCarty made him take the fetal position....you NEVER saw McCarty do that. Keep dreamin'.
mcCarty is such a puss, fastforward a year and claude beats his ass, not to mention ROY kicks osgoods ass as well. and as i remember the turtle was mcCarty's favorite pose when he fought
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any fight where Claude kicked McCarty's ass. I can only find the 97 and 98 fights, both of which were clear victories for McCarty. To which fight are you referring? Do you have a link?
@jeramiah7 McCarty never lost to Claude "the blown out pussy" lemieux. and Chris Osgood never got beat by Patrick "the cock sucker" Roy. both the colorado players are pussys that dont know how to do anything but give cheap shots on any other team. at least the whole red wings team knows how to hold their own on the ice and they all stick up for each other. unlike the avalanche who dont do shit but start shit with every other team in the NHL.
@Slipknot5301 Comparing a LEGEND, Conne Symthe winner, and 4 time Stanley Cup Champion to a nontalented nobody FAGGOT in Avery proves your foolish ignorance
@BillSteer99 What are you talking about!??! Draper is known as a fair, hardworking player.....shouldn't you be more pissed off about McCarty!?!? He was the enforcer...and even so neither of them cheap shotted like claude lemieux did all his career....lemieux is on ESPN's Top ten dirtiest and most hated players in the NHL
oh this was the best team ever. all the rivalries, all the best players! ahh this time really is missed. but fuck yeah, Konstantinov wrecking his shit, probably right before he got paralyzed. i fell so bad for him. at least the red wings show their sincere respect and still hand him the cup when they win, gosh thats a beautiful sight. vladdy. in a wheelchair. holding the Stanley Cup.
haha what a morron! look at the numbers on the jersey at the beginning! Claude threw those hits haha I hope the Red Wings hurt after that one...GO AVS!!!
@bassguitar1234567 Hey moron, those weren't hits he was throwing, they were sucker-bitch-hits. I don't give a fuck what team you're cheering for, how could you say that when even your punk ass avalanche bitch ass knows that Claude Lemieux is the biggest punk ass pussy bitch in the history of hockey. And sir Darren McCarty proved that when he beat the shit outta him without even trying. You're big hero went down right at the beginning like the little fag he is. Let's go Red Wings!
Everyone knows that mccarty is tougher than lemieux but come on, no matter what team you like you have to admit that lemieux was a douche but mccarty suckered him
It's guys like Claude that make the rivals happen, and what makes the game real intense. Players like that will always get the short end of the stick and will get beaten bloody but they are to dumb to realize it and that makes for fun hockey. Keep an eye on Burrows from the Canucks, hes a weasel just like Claude, enjoy.
No, he turtled because McCarty pounded the SHIT out of him with that first right and knocked him down.....I'm sure that little pussy was woozy after that. Look at him get up after all of that, like he didn't know where the fuck he was, what was going on. Man I loved that night.
@darthpaul123 the videos are not cut. they tell the whole story of the aves getting the shit beat out of them 9 times out of 10. i admit that the aves had some good hits from decent players but the wings won the fights 9 times out of 10
@tret552007 just amazing how lame some red wings fans can be, you look up a comment i left on here two years ago. how long did that take you to find? ya troll.
@tret552007 just amazing how lame some red wings fans can be, you look up a comment i left on here two years ago. how long did that take you to find? ya troll.
ok so since i was lookin at comments from a couple years ago that makes me a troll? i think it makes me a great fan and one that sticks up for what happened to one of the worst athletes of the sport and im proud of what Darren McCarty did to that fake ass player and ill stand behind my team all the way. will u do the same if another brawl happened between the 2 teams now? if not then ur just as fake as Claude Lemeiux
oh i agree. butt with the comments lemiuex was saying, i dont think there was a person that turned on this game or any hockey fan and did not expect something like this to happen. think if kocur was playing this game? bowman didnt play him because he thought kocur was gonna kill him.
i dont think lemiuex should have been run from the league, i just think if he would have said "sorry" or atleast not had the rep for doing things like this, it would have been different.
Im a 6 foot 3 inch dirty blond. I own my own house and drive a 07 ford superduty. I have a 2 1/2 yo son that lives with his mother. Lookin for a honest cutie. Im one of those people that cant stand being alone... I have learnt so much in the past 5 years; it's crazy! I love my life for the most part, I love waking up everyday not knowing what's gunna happen or what is in store for me. So Im looking forward to hearing you anyone that can help cure my lonlyness.
McCarty and Lemieux fought after this night, but with Claude being Claude and turtling and running from anyone resembling a fighter (Cam Neely, for instance), I doubt Darren could've gotten a fight the proper way.
I have never wanted to see another person get their ass kick as much as I wanted to see Lemiuex get pummeled. Complete douchebag. Mccarty caught him off guard just like Claude did Draper. Eye for an eye baby!
this video shows why lemiuex deserved what mccarty did. not only was the hit on draper bad, but he was known for sucker punching people. you seen what he did to kozlov. completely blindsided one of the few guys on the 95 wing's roster that wouldnt fight. what happened when kocur came at lemiuex? he fuckin ran away! pathetic.
no doubt that claude lemieux's hit on draper was dirty, vicious, disgusting, on and on and on, I know this and i'm not arguing that it was not a dirty hit by any means. BUT, the way you get revenge is by kicking someones ass, but in a clean fair fashion to show that you are better than him while at the same time kicking his ass, but when you continue fighting someone who had no idea what happened and turtles up (another pussy move by claude) it makes Mccarty look like just as much of a pussy.
so the fact that lemieux said "i made draper a million dollars from that hit" and "he's faking hit" and "he's not gonna last in the nhl anyways" days after the hit isnt cause for revenge in anyway?
what if draper was your brother and he said that about him?
exactly
mccarty said it best in the pregame interview before this happened "hockey players have long memories and the best time to seek revenge is maybe when he least expects it"
all i'm saying is that i don't think cheapshots are acceptable even in the case of retaliation. Don't get me wrong I am a huge colorado fan, but I still think that Claude Lemieux's hit on draper should have got him kicked out of the league. I'm a fan of good clean hard hitting old time hockey.
