So…
… Claude Lemieux returns to the NHL tonight in a San Jose Sharks uniform.
I guess he decided Chris Chelios shouldn’t be the only dirty old man in the league.
(For those who don’t know: Chelios, nearly 47, is the second-oldest player ever to play in the NHL, behind Gordie Howe. He also is widely hated for dirty tricks. But Lemieux, 43, was one of the dirtiest players of all. Like Chelios, he was a very gifted player and won numerous championships – but he was notorious for using his stick to impede and surreptitiously hurt other players throughout his career.)
