    Claude is 9th all-time in playoff goals with 80. Conn Smythe winner, 4 Stanley Cups and he was huge in all 4 of them. He most definitely should be a HOFer.

      Two self-delusional idiots who, to this day, RUN from what they did and will NEVER admit to it. Nilan can't face reality so it's easier for him to say he "doesn't care". Claude NEVER ADMITS to turtling OR being a total COWARD, so he goes around denying what he did, despite the fact that EVERYONE KNOWS what he did. Incredible.

    Claude was one of my favorite bosses I’ve ever had. I worked for the roadrunners when he owned them and started his comeback. He used to skate with us employees before moving to play against his ECHl players and man oh man he still had it hardcore.
    One of my all time favorite players, idgaf if anyone calls him bad names, he was incredible in the playoffs where it mattered.
    The man should be in the hall, if Neely and Lindros are there, it’s embarrassing the old boys club won’t induct a player who actually won

The Draper incident was just bad luck it was a hit between chippy teams that just ended badly. Guy had a target on his back every where every night but still showed up and agitated. Never backed down. He was a tough guy despite the mask and limited fighting skills. Players like Claude are what filled up arenas and TV ratings. Huge personality.
