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.

In the early days of COVID, Sportsnet showed a bunch of old Stanley Cup clinching games, and when they played that game, the Flames' website set up a livestream with a bunch of the players from the team watching along on Zoom. When that play happened, they were all still as angry about it 31 years later as they were the day it happened.
Then, they started talking about what a horrible ref Denis Morel was and how he had it out for the Flames. That was always a conspiracy theory among Flames fans, so it was funny to hear the players thought the same thing.
