One of the greatest playoff performers in NHL history, Claude Lemieux captured four Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, and Colorado Avalanche, and earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 1995.
This tribute looks back at each of his Stanley Cup victories and celebrates the championship legacy he leaves behind.
RIP brother. We will all be with you some day.

He was a little bit of a gutless puke with Colorado Burt his time playing the for Devils made him a legend. Rest in peace Claude.

Claude Lemieux is one of the most underrated players of all time
He scored more NHL playoff goals than Mario, Howe, Ovechkin, Crosby, Yzerman, Jagr – 9th all time – only Hull, Sakic, Bossy, Richard and a grip of those Oilers scored more
He won four Cups on three teams in three decades and two millennia, a Conn Smythe trophy, and was the ultimate playoff pest – intense, gritty, and clutch
RIP to an Avs, Devils, Habs, NHL and hockey legend – you were one of a kind – goodbye Pepe
NHL, please take this one more as a hint to do something better to deter intentional head hits and actually care about players’ safety. Take concussions, TBI, and CTE seriously.
Rest brother Lemieux, they can’t hurt you anymore. Thank you for all you did. 🍺😑
Joueur légendaire… tragique 😢😢
Reposez en paix Claude Lemieux
RIP brother. We will all be with you some day. ….
Rest easy, may you find peace ❤
Shows that even if you won Stanley Cups, you're not happy…
rip , its really so sad
Thank you for all you did for the sport we all love, you will be missed.
Lord Stanley cup. 🏆
That game 4 was brutal. Honestly, he'd still be alive had the habs not lost 3 in a row. What a historical moment. A hall of famer was pushed over the edge by his team not shooting the puck
Victorious in hockey…loser in life.
One of the greatest playoff performers
Rest in peace Claude you will be missed
RIP Claude. Always came up big when it mattered most. He will be missed.
RIP Pepe.
4 cups, 80 goals in the playoff, not in the hall of fame. Rest in peace Claude.
Ele morreu?
We loved Claude Lemieux in Colorado! Had his #22 Avalanche jersey. He was such an important part of that inaugural Avalanche team that won the Cup in 1996. Prayers to his family and all of the hockey community.
Rip we will always remember you
The reason I became an agitator in hockey, I hope you found peace Claude.
RIP sir. ❤
Insane how many times he won. Every team he touches is gold. What a legend.
RIP Claude. You made me/us jump out of our seats in 86 with your G7 OT goal! Wow!
RIP Claude Lemieux. You're one of the greatest. 🏒😢
🙏❤️
R.I.P Claude 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just a shocker. Condolences to family. Rest in Peace Claude. There was nothing you couldn't do on the ice
Man look at what the avalanche getting humiliated in the Western Conference finals has resulted in
Mad Respect ❤❤🕊️
Rest in peace Claude. Thank you for the 2 cups in Jersey.
0:32 Even as far back as '95, the crowds were booing Gary. 😂
RIP to the legendary power forward who made hockey really fun to watch whenever he was on the ice. Few of us who lived to see it will forget the Wings/Avs rivalry in the late 90's.
CLAUDE IS A NEW JERSEY DEVIL THROUGH AND THROUGH! I was fortunate to meet him twice.
Damn sad!😔
Playoff legend.
