The title is wrong on TSN. He won 4 cups.

Claude, that is.

Though, probably Jocelyn did as well.

And, with that, its only a matter of hours before we hear a response from Fleury who likely relishes his chance to pipe up.

Interesting interview, and obviously very forthright...don't recall the 89 incident.

Wow shocking!! Claude Lemeiux a diver? LOL

I remembered there was one game that he dove a few times that his teammates from Montreal just stopped talking to him all game. They were so embarrassed and noone even dared to fight for him.

I recall it, lying on the ice like he'd been run over by a truck and left lying there while the trainers and his coach looked the other way. What a POS he was. Even his coach and teammates couldn't stand him.

Interesting video. I admire how much claude relishes in being the villain..

Despite having some poor regular seasons, you could always count this guy being a big time playoff performer. As a fan I hated this guy so much that I would love to have him on a playoff run of our own.

Couldn't be bothered watching any video about Clod.

Just for interests sake, did he also admit to being a dirty chicken#### a-hole?

Good video, it's nice to see the transparency and honesty coming from Claude. Different game, but man was he good when he needed to be.

I'm surprised Claude never played for the Canucks.

Maybe he just coached them?

The guy was a complete d bag but he's the guy you wanted on your team during the playoffs. The guy was money when he needed to be and diving was part of his game. I think he's hated by everyone who isn't a fan of the team he's on at that time, now that he's not in the league he can just be honest. I hated him as a player but I picked him for every playoff pool I had a chance to.

There was a time during his career and shortly afterwards where Claude Lemieux was right at the top of my list of people I'd like to punch in the face.

It's faded a bit but he'd still deserve it.

I wonder if any of the Nucks will admit to diving after they hang them up...

A good read from McCarty about Lemieux and beating the crap out of him.
