Hockey Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree where he learned his playing style from.
    He initially committed to play for Green Bay of the USHL and the University of North Dakota, but relented on both when he got drafted into the OHL.
    He publicly ripped the Jets in regards to his playing time, which led to the team's decision to trade him.
    He allegedly bit Brady Tkachuk hard enough to draw blood (November 27, 2021).
    He was suspended five games by the NHL for the incident.
    He, along with Claude hold the distinction of being the first father-son duo in NHL history to be suspended for biting incidents.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was born in Denver during his father's stint with the Colorado Avalanche.
    His dad initially tried to talk him out of playing hockey as a child, fearing he wouldn't be able to live up the expectations of being a second-generation NHL player, but changed his mind after seeing his natural skill at the sport.
    He was part of the package the Jets got from Buffalo in the Evander Kane trade.
    He established himself as a full-time NHL player, upon being acquired by the Kings.
    He had the support of his teammates, in wake of his suspension, with Jonathan Quick saying he would take him over Brady Tkachuk as a teammate anyday.
    His incident with Brady added another layer to the hockey rivalry between the Lemieuxs and Tkachuks (Claude and Keith also had an on-ice rivalry during the late 1990's).
