I know that he was known as a thug. Was also a pretty good player. 4x Cup winner, and 379 Goals.

Yes, that's the report. A few things on Claude:Originally posted by stevenash
1) He was viewed as an enforcer-type. His cheap-shot on Kris Draper was truly over-the-line.
2) The Red Wing players said how he could have really injured Draper. I believe Draper needed a good bit of rehab to come back from that hit.
3) Claude certainly IGNITED the RedWing/Av rivalry. It may have been more under-stated up to that point.
4) Most people won't remember the goals. Claude was not a Tie Domi paid-for-goon player.
5) Won titles with MONT/Devils/Avs. Later had a strange reconciliation meeting w/ Darren McCarty.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Sad that it was suicide. I wonder what caused him to be in this state.Comment
