30-in-30 feature on the Devils focuses on their desire to repeat events of 1995 when they won the Stanley Cup. Fitting that this is the era when their all-time dirtiest player was in his prime.
It was never a question of
if he would show up on my dirty player list, it was a question of under what team. Since Claude Lemieux is arguably the dirtiest player to ever play the game, he is technically the dirtiest player for Montreal, New Jersey, Colorado, Phoenix and briefly for Dallas and San Jose.
However, it would have been a pretty dull feature if I duplicated players across teams. I mean, how long can you watch video clips of
Chris Pronger, Claude Lemieux and
Ken Linseman before getting bored.
So I had to pick a single team for Claude. And I am sorry New Jersey, but he stuck to you.
