@psaundersdp @harding_at_mlb Dang! Thanks for all your work. You will be missed

[Chris Spomer @C_Spomer]

@KyleClark calling a political candidate is a liar and a fraud is next level. Won't hear anything like that Thursday

Dammit.

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.

Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.

Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.

The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.

In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.

Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.

Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.

He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Memorial service details to follow.

@COSportsNut @tyler_divido33 Change "Avs Fan" for American and "goal tender" for political affiliation.

[Chris Spomer @C_Spomer]

@COSportsNut @tyler_divido33 No dog in this fight but you jumping someone for being "mean" for having a different opinion made me laugh...how do you treat folks with different political opinions than yours?

[Chris Spomer @C_Spomer]

Avs got lucky 5 times in ONE night! Luckyyyyyyy

[Adrian Hernandez @AdoHernandez27]

Jesper Wallstedt says his team played the right way tonight.

As for Colorado’s lone goal of the night:

“They get a lucky one there but it doesn’t rattle us.” #GoAvsGo

@Ryanhillstead84 @iTalkStudiosYT I feel like its a pretty niche rule. And nowhere on there does it show innings pitched. Baseball does not need gate kept
