If there ever was a player Blues fans weren’t expecting - or clamoring - to hear from regarding their team, it’s Darren McCarty. The fifteen year veteran - all but two of his NHL seasons coming with the Detroit Red Wings - was a noted pest for Blues fans throughout the 1990s and 2000s. He added four Stanley Cup championships to his resume during those decades, scoring the Cup winner in 1997 and later on adding a natural hat trick to his resume in 2002 against Patrick Roy and the Colorado Avalanche.
In 758 NHL games played, he racked up 1477 penalty minutes and was clearly unafraid to go to toe-to-toe with anyone.
