When hockey fans speak about 'pests,'
Esa Tikkanen and Claude Lemieux are the two players that usually jump to mind.
Both have a lot in common:
Decent regular-season scorers (Lemieux's career high in goals was 41, Tikkanen's 31)
Phenomenal playoff performers
Frequent Cup champs (Tikkanen has 5 rings; Lemieux 4)
Considered annoying players that can get under the skin of a fan/player
But, who was the bigger/better pest?
