@TheMetsX I was a junior in high school, recovering from hernia surgery that I had earlier in the day. It definitely raised my spirits watching it all unfold and I probably won’t forget it

What the fuck

[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.

Why it's always important to show up for you kids events:

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@Samaold1 Is it because he is always out there? Not sure what goes into that statistic

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@ian_LGI16 Devils say no, they need a middle to top 6 winger nhl winger back. I’d probably imagine the devils add another chip to get that alongside Nemec..if he wanted out

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@osgunner1 @sith_boul @waterfall2770 @catturd2 Way more sources backing up vaccines lol

@NHLTradeAlert @SimonCop_ Update this

[James Nichols @JamesNicholsNHL]

I can confirm Sunny Mehta has been in contact with Simon Nemec and the agent, unlike what the rumor suggests.

Here's what we know so far.

Latest Nemec, #NJDevils Trade Rumor Has Holes

@PizzaSportsGuy Touché, just didn’t think the sharks would want to part with their younger cast of players

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@PizzaSportsGuy IF they trade him, it would be for a solidified top 6 forward id imagine..not sure the Sharks have that

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@PizzaSportsGuy Doesn’t make sense for the devils lol

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@DuaneS39 It wasn’t very long ago that Lindy coached the devils to an identical season the Sabres just had. Won the first round and lost the second…just to miss playoffs the following year. Keep dreaming pal

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Sheldon Keefe will remain as head coach of the Devils

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@surgieboi @Seth_3773 Nah fuck that, the runner should be sliding into home

[Justin @DevilsJDI]

@HockeyGuruOfX Yeah you need a center back..how we looking down the middle when Jack only plays 70% of the year
