Claude Lemieux has passed away, and I'm a Red Wings partisan who feels terrible about it.
Claude was many things. An agitator, an elite goal-scorer, a 4-time Cup champ and a player agent (Seider's, among others).
I can't forgive the Draper incident, but I can forgive a lot of other things.
And I cannot emphasize enough that he was a human being deserving respect and appreciation for what he was, good and bad.
60 is young. Very young. And he should have seen many more sunrises and sunsets.
It's pretty terrible and I hope that if you are encountering difficult times, you ask for help. IT's always there.
Great insights from long-time NHL’er, Dan Cleary on the peerless grind of pro hockey playoffs and the “It’ factor. The @DetroitRedWings Director of Player Development, Cleary played 938 regular season and 121 playoff games, competed in back-to-back Stanley Cup finals, winning the ultimate prize with Detroit in 2008.

27 games in the NHL now for @griffinshockey Captain, Dominik Shine, enough to earn the @DetroitRedWings nomination for the prestigious Bill Masterton Trophy, honoring an NHL’er who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey…..
Dominik Shine has a passion for the game of hockey, but a series of freak injuries had him contemplating his future during the 2022-23 @griffinshockey season…..
John Leonard was two wins away from a Calder Cup title a year ago with Charlotte @CheckersHockey. Now he begins that pursuit with @griffinshockey starting this Saturday in Winnipeg vs @ManitobaMoose……..

Another big crowd expected in Cleveland today for @griffinshockey (51-15-4-1) vs @monstershockey (36-26-6-3). Sebastian Cossa (2.28, .917, 26-8-4) gets the start. Griffins put the finishing touches on a regular season work of art.
