As my wife is a huge Wings fan, we have the revenge game on video. McCarty is one of the players we super-collected (along with Yzerman, Burr, Lapointe, and to a lesser extent, Osgood). The beauty of the revenge game is not only did Mccarty beat down the turtle, he scored the game winner in OT. The only thing that would have made the ending better is if Drapes himself had scored the game winner.
Edit: To talk about Pacific and this set: Pacific actually had some quality products during their hockey run. Much better than their previous year's baseball efforts. Biggest downfall was they got caught up in the parallel-fest of the day, and they had stupid parallels. Some that just made no sense, or were hard to distinguish. And the "retail reds" were always super hard to find. (And when I did find packs somewhere and dropped a boatload of $ on them, I pulled nothing of note. I probably still have them all because they were commons then, and no better now.) The Cramer's Choice inserts (that always had Yzerman) were always in low SN runs, and again, 5 or 6 different parallels. They did have some neat insert set ideas, and adding non-game-used materials were actually a cool concept (netting to make it look like a goal, etc.). Some of my favorite cards of the 1996-2002 period are various Pacific brands. There was actually a lot of good from Pacific. (And their booth at the Spring/Fall Expo was always staffed by some of the nicest people!) Other than their love of parallels (which wasn't as bad as some other companies), I think they were good for the hobby. This set, from what I recall, wasn't much different from the previous couple years. Which sent them down the Upper Deck and Donruss roads of lack of much design change over several years. Solid, but "been there, done that".
