Doughnut Gate

On May 6 1988, New Jersey head coach Jim Schoenfeld confronts referee Don Koharski at the conclusion of a play-off game. All hell breaks loose in the foyer leading to the Official's Room. When the NHL initially refused to enforce their 1 game suspension of Jim Schoenfeld (the Devils seeked and won a court injunction permitting him to coach), the entire NHL Officiating Staff staged a wild cat strike resulting in replacement officials to be utilized for the next Devils - Bruins playoff match. Schoenfeld and Koharski have since kissed, made up and apparently do get along.
