With the Bruins visiting MSG last night and coming away with the OT winner, it feels like a good time to look back at one of the crazier highlights of the Bruins at Madison Square Garden. In 1979, during a skirmish along the boards that broke out after the Bruins beat the Rangers, a fan grabbed stick and absolute chaos ensued. The action really picks up at about 1:30 in this video:
Absolutely nutty here. Mike Milbury is 8 rows deep in the stands, takes a mans shoe off his foot, and proceeds to beat the man with his own shoe. Chaos. 18 hockey players with skates on in the stands because a fan stole a stick and hit a player with it.
The Incident resulted in 3 Bruins being suspended, the entire Bruins team minus Gerry Cheevers being fined, and 4 fans being charged with disorderly conduct.
