Claude Lemieux Dies at 60 After Playoff Appearance

Claude Lemieux's name always carried a little extra voltage, because he never played like a man interested in making friends. The former NHL legend has died at 60, just days after he was seen at a playoff game, which gives this news a sharp and jarring edge. Lemieux spent his career as one of those players opponents remembered long after the handshake line, and his death closes the book on a figure who was never easy to ignore.
