MandatoryDETROIT - In May 1996, Claude Lemieux put Kris Draper's face into the boards during a playoff game between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings.
Draper was badly injured suffering a concussion, broken jaw, broken nose, and broken cheekbone.
Lemieux, by far, won ClickOnDetroit's "Most Despised Athletes in Detroit Sports" bracket contest.
