from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
Of all people, it was Jim Peplinski who extended a hand and invited Claude Lemieux to participate in Saturday’s Heritage Classic alumni game at McMahon Stadium.
If you know the history between the two, you’d appreciate the irony.
In the 1986 Stanley Cup final between Peplinski’s Calgary Flames and Lemieux’s Montreal Canadiens, the two forwards got into a lively scrap. At one point, Lemieux was scratching at Peplinski’s eyes like a mad velociraptor. Peplinski put up his hands to defend himself. When one of his fingers got to close to Lemieux’s mouth – CHOMP! Lemieux bit it to the bone.
continued and let’s flashback to the 1986 SCF. The real action begins about the 1:40 in the video below….
