McCarty on Lemieux: 'You have to give him some respect'
March 26, 2007

This week in Calgary, former Red Wings forward Darren McCarty discussed the epic game of March 26, 1997, between Detroit and Colorado. "First thing," McCarty said, "I can't believe it was 10 years ago. It'll never replace that winning-the-cup game and scoring that goal, but to take just a game in general, (the March 26, 1997, contest) was the greatest game I've ever played in, that I ever saw. Just because it had every ingredient you could ever want. That game had everything."
