Helene St. James sits down with former Red Wings 'Grind Line' members Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby to reminisce about the famous Red Wings-Avalanche rivalry that began two decades ago. Feb. 24, 2016.
Kris Draper noticed a difference in his old friend right away.
A few months ago, when Darren McCarty began to practice for Friday’s Detroit Red Wings vs. Colorado Avalanche alumni game in Denver, it was the best Draper had seen his old Grind Line mate in years.
McCarty told Draper then that he had quit drinking again.
