from Robert Snell of the Detroit News,
Former Detroit Red Wings star Darren McCarty, who won his fourth Stanley Cup ring in 2008 after recovering from alcoholism and a high-profile bankruptcy filing, has new money problems.
The IRS last week accused him of failing to pay $62,189 in federal taxes.
That’s the latest personal challenge facing the rugged, fan-friendly forward who became part of Detroit sports lore through his grinding style, charitable acts and legendary battles with Colorado’s Claude Lemieux.

Come on, Darren, you can’t live your life going three steps forward and two steps backwards.

This would maybe explain in part why he’s been giving the KHL a look.
And why he wasn’t brought back to the Griffins maybe? Shit...I really hope for the best for him.
