Not sure where this game was played (Europe most likely) as a player loses control over himself and assaults the referee with fists and his stick.

Samuelsson Knees Neely


During the 1991 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Pittsburgh defenseman Ulf Samulesson knees Boston Bruin forward Cam Neely.

This hit ruined Neely's career and Samuelsson became the most vilified out of town athlete to Boston sports fans since Bucky Dent.

Smith's 1986 Game 7 Goal in Own Net


On April 30, 1986 during Game 7 against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oiler rookie defenseman Steve Smith attempted to clear the puck from behind the goal line, only to have the puck ricochet off Grant Fuhr's skates and into the net. Smith's accidental goal in his own team's net proved to be the game and series winner. Smith went on to a solid NHL career but will forever be known as the player singled out for derailing a potential 5-peat Stanley Cup Championship Dynasty for the Edmonton Oilers. The Calgary Flames would eventually lose to the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Henderson's 1972 Summit Series Game 8 GWG


This is arguably the greatest and most significant goal ever scored in ice hockey. After being embarrassed by the Soviet Union on Canadian ice for the first four games, Team Canada fought back to win the final three of four games played in Russia. In the dying final moments of Game 8, Paul Henderson receives the puck from Phil Esposito and beats Vladislav Tretiak for the game and series winner. Pure bedlam erupted in Canada where life stood still when this game was played. Hockey after the Summit Series has never been the same.

Bruins vs Ranger Fans


Terry O'Reilly and the Boston Bruins charge into the stands of Madison Square Garden to fight Ranger fans. Apparently this all started when a wayward fan had the audacity to grab O'Reilly's stick. Very reminiscent to the Ron Artest incident.
