Claude Lemieux, One of Hockey’s Nastiest Finishers, Dies at 60

Claude Lemieux was never the kind of player anyone forgot after one shift. He built a career on winning, irritating, and making life miserable for opponents in the kind of way that kept coaches up at night and teammates quietly grateful. The news of his death at 60 closes the book on a four-time Stanley Cup winner whose name still carries some edge around the league. His legacy lives in the ugly, unforgettable parts of playoff hockey, where he made his reputation matter.
