GOOD FRIDAY BRAWL



April 20, 1984, game six of the semi-finals playoff between Montreal Canadiens again Quebec Nordiques, and Montreal leads the playoff three victories against two.
Everything had start at the end of the second period, Dale Hunter, player of Nordiques, has come into collision with the Canadiens goalkeeper, Steve Penny. Another fight starts between two players but as was the end of the period many players are in the ice, in consequence general fight starts.


Last period, the referees gave the penalties but during this time the situation degenerate and again the players engage many fights on the ice they chase each other and fought to exhaustion.

These situations lasted during 30 minutes and at the end of the game a total of 250 minutes of penalties were given. Also, there weren’t just the players who have frustration, the coaches too, Jacques Lemaire and Michel Bergeron, began yelling at each other. Those guys hated each other. They were always a rivalry between that team. It’s just sad that Quebec wasn`t still in the league.

  1. This sounds like a pretty crazy game, Emilie!
    You describe it well. This would have been better if you had used the past tense throughout you text.
