Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux to hold Red Wings-Avs 'Fight Night' watch party, Q&A

If you never got a chance to see the Detroit Red Wings’ famous brawl with the Colorado Avalanche in 1997, or you just want to relive all the gory glory, you’ll get your chance Saturday on the 25th anniversary of “Fight Night at the Joe” with two of the main participants.

Wings legend Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux, the Avalanche hero and Hockeytown villain who famously turtled while taking a beating from McCarty, will watch the game together and offer blow-by-blow commentary from 5-9 p.m. Saturday at Fifth Avenue Royal Oak.
