Rip Claude Lemieux

He looked a little wobbly the other night....older than 60. But I figured it was nerves
 
Some guys you would hardly recognize after their playing days. Claude looked the same. Like a guy who looked after himself. Bit of a shock.
 
Lemieux had four children between two marriages: three sons and a daughter. His son Brendan was a forward in the NHL, playing for five NHL teams over seven seasons. They are the only father-son duo to be punished by the NHL for biting other players.[9][10]
 
Some people had an issue with his style of play, which, although they would say otherwise, probably stemmed from the fact he had been a huge part of our Cup win in 86. He was a huge, huge playoff performer, Cups followed him around. For that alone, I have argued he should be in the Hall of Fame. But the Toronto-centred media etc. would never consider it of course.

One of my all time favourites. R.I.P.
