Darren McCarty has been recalled by the hated Wings. I was just remarking the other day to my dad that it was such a shame that they traded him when they did, because if ever there was a man destined to be captain of a particular franchise, it was McCarty with the Wings.

BTW, it should be mentioned now that I was a big fan of Claude Lemieux when he played, so in light of that fact, you can probably imagine how I feel about McCarty.

And Kris Draper, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Well, it looks like the hated Wings are finally gearing up for the playoffs.
