Um... sure why not?
Yes he did, as most players do when they retire. Don’t think the job with Versus is all the way done yet and as he said in that broadcast “pretty much yes, but nothing for sure yet” He’s also pretty much hinted earlier around pre-season that if someone wanted him, he would play. Under the radar like, as to not disrespect the Wings in the process.
You and that lovely grin will surely be missed in motown and beyond Mr. McCarty!! It was a pleasure watching you kick ass and take names every time you hit the ice. An all the way, balls out, brutal guy.
Bet the turtle can sleep safer at night now.
Congrats on one hell of a career #25 Mac Attack!!!!
STAND TALL, FLY STRAIGHT, USA ALL THE WAY!
