McKay was another in a long line of the tough, scrappy, grinding forward that the Devils have been known to utilize in their
offense over the years.
In looking at his stats and bios now, and remembering back then, when the Devs got him from the Red Wings, I already knew
that he was a tough mo-fo, never met a fight he didn't like to partake in. I had no idea until he took the New Jersey ice that he
was a very capable scorer, and I see now that it's been that way in both Glens Falls AND Michigan Tech.
That was part of what made the Crash Line special, I can say. Statistically, though, things took off for him when that ran its
course. And of course, he provided the intangibles that would ultimately help bring the Cup to New Jersey for the second time.
After being rented by the Stars thanks to the Langenbrunner trade, he signed with the Montreal Canadiens for one season
before hanging them up.

And just how DID Troy Crowder fare again? I'll find out when I write his page.
