I'll never forget when Claude Lemieux knocked Mike Vernon on his backside in game 6 of the '89 Finals, setting up Rick Green to score in an open net. Vernon was practically jumping up and down on his skates yelling at the referee.
Lemieux already had one of the worst reputations in the league for dirty play. For me, that play clinched his induction into the Hall of Shame.
