It will wander to the majesty of Darren McCarty's knee cap and what it must have sounded like when that knee cap made violent contact with Claude Lemieux's face twenty years ago. Repeated, violent contact.

My mind will wander to the pulpy mess of blood left on the JLA ice as Lemieux wobbled to the dressing room.
