NHL Mourns Claude Lemieux - The Bulldog Who Also Had A Soft Side

Claude Lemieux’s death has hit the NHL hard because he was never just one thing to the people who knew him. He played like a bulldog and carried himself like a softie, which is about as close to a full hockey life as you can get. The tributes are landing with the kind of volume reserved for players who left a mark in more than one locker room. This is a reminder that some careers echo long after the final horn.
