I always forget he won a Conn Smythe

Definitely a tough guy/pest but he turned on the scoring the playoffs

Lemieux kicked his arse when McCarty was actually man enough to go face to face with him

RIP, Claude.

Must be said though that I hate dirty players who don't like to fight. And that was Lemieux.

Apparently he killed himself? I could only imagine the concussions and amount of CTE he had.
