Although I loved Claude Lemieux as a player, I'll disagree with this comment. A few things:

A) Outside of the rink in the newspapers, Lemieux joked about mauling Draper's face in 1996. This was one reason why McCarty went after Lemieux so hard a year later.

B) Lemieux openly declared that he would be cheering Team USA back in 1998 when he was not selected to play in Nagano for the Olympics.
