Also, Ryan goes more in-depth in remembering the bane of his existence, in many ways, as a Detroit Red Wings fan - Claude Lemieux (1965-2026). The former Avalanche forward spent five seasons with the franchise, including a large portion of the 'seven-year war' between Colorado and Detroit that saw the Red Wings claim three Stanley Cup titles (1997, 1998, 2002) and the Avalanche win two (1996, 2001). Lemieux committed suicide at a furniture store he owned in South Florida on Thursday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
