Holy Fuck. I can't believe they are forcing him to sell his Stanley Cup Rings/Trophies. If I had money I would buy thgem just to give them back to him (Most likely why I don't have money)

NOT COOL to take his rings and trophys. i can see the other stuff. but taking stuff he EARNED not bought. worked his whole life for you cannot take that from someone!. That is the biggest pile of crap i have ever seen. I know he burned his own bridge with his debt and screw ups finanically. But at least let him keep his rings and trophys hes WON :bs: :bs:

In documents submitted to U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Detroit, McCarty, 34, lists assets of $1.9 million and debts of $6.2 million -- including at least $185,000 to casinos in Detroit and Las Vegas.
Marty Fried, McCarty's Southfield lawyer, blamed the bankruptcy on last season's NHL lockout, a divorce that finalized in February 2005 and a substantially smaller contract with the Calgary Flames.
"He's not making the money he used to make," Fried said. He said McCarty made about $2.1 million per season in Detroit and now makes about $850,000. "I don't think he counted on being" released from the Wings last summer.
The largest creditors listed in the bankruptcy case, filed in November, are DMA Holdings of Portage, owed $2 million, and Huntington National Bank of Bloomfield Hills, due $1.5 million.
McCarty, who has talked publicly about his love for poker, lists debts of $100,000 to the Bellagio casino and $60,000 to the Palms casino, both in Las Vegas. He owes $25,000 to the MotorCity Casino in Detroit, court papers say.

Nothing indicates McCarty's troubles are tied to the McCarty Cancer Foundation, the Oakland County-based charity he and his family founded in honor of his father, Craig, who died from multiple myeloma in 1999. The foundation, for which McCarty serves as an unpaid director, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years.

FUCK HIM!!!! He deserves to lose everything! If you're stupid enough to let gambling, drugs, etc, take over your life, then you have no one else but yourself to blame. You wanna cop out of your debt? You better expect to lose all your valuble shit!! Fork it over, bitch!
And if you can't live on $800,000 a year, you have a fucking problem!!! Fuck him and the rest of the professional athletes, actors, entertainers, who take advantage of the retarded amount of money they make!

that sucks he has to lose his rings, he did work for them. Most of us, if not all of us will never know what having that kind of money and lifestyle is like. Shit happens. Everyone has their issues, whether it be smoking, drikning or gambling, or something else. It caught up with him, sucks.

Well i agree with what yo uare saying. He does deserve this shit cuz of the dumb choices he has made, He has fucked up royal and needs to be punished for his mistake. But IMO the rings and stanley cups are different then his house and other things That is something he has earned and has nothing to do with his gambling or with his mistakes hes made. I dont know, i mean for someone like him something like that is priceless and really shouldnt be taken from him for his mistake. Just how i think i guess

We're "crying" about this because this is what the thread is about. Secondly all I was tryin to say was when you fuck up as bad as he did, its a fact your gonna loose your house and usually all your things that you have to pay off debt. I just believe things that you have won (trophys,rings ect) you should be able to keep because that is personilized specifiallly to you and what you have earned or accomplished to get that perticular thing. Unlike many other things like furniture or video games that can just be sold off and have no personal value.
