last bench clearing brawl

February 26, 1987

It maybe Ash Wednesday for us Catholics but for Hockey players its the day Brawls died in Hockey 

The last Bench Clearing Brawl was 33 years ago today.  This all out free for all war on ice was between the Quebec Nordiques who are now the Colorado Avalanche and Boston Bruins.  


Both where rivals in the Adams division. There was a minor fight in the 1st period between Jay Miller and Gord Donnelly.  But 9 minutes into the 2nd Period and Boston winning 4-0 it was enough. It was an all out war that started when Randy Moller and Nevin Markwart threw the gloves on the ice. The broadcast says Markwart[B]s gets tangled up with Moller[N] so who started this?  I'm Gonna say those nasty Bostonians did since they got more Penalty minutes. 

Everyone got involved in the action. My favorite parts of hockey fights or brawls, are when the goalies skate to center ice to go at it. Goalies have been around 178 ft away from each other.
[ ring is 200ft by 85 wide. and 11ft behind net to board 22 feet.  200-22=178ft] and never said a word to each other but they hate each other and want to make the other catch some waffle to the face. 


These guys went at it all night late hits,  another Moller and Markwart fight, and Houf and Read Larson to be the last fight in this game 

After is was all said and done Burins had 96 penalty mins. and Nordiques had 71 penalty minutes. These fights gamesome life to Quebec but not enough Final score 6 Bruins -2 Nordiques 


Like I said Bruins won the game 6-2   and went 39-34-7 with a 3rd place finish in the division only to be eliminated first round of the playoffs in a swept series against the Montreal Canadians that season. While Nordiques went 31-39-10 and finished 4th place in Division

 

Brawls are still a thing but very small. Since you have to be on the ice to participate. They out lawed them with Rule 70.1, which is a 10 game suspension if you leave the bench to fight, with a huge fine of $10,000 max.  also the outlaw of brawls is it looked bad on the league ,adds little to nothing to the game and due to safety reasons[ the worse reason]

The work chronicles : PT5.5 still working with mind boggling people

Said it once said it a billion times. I’ve been here here to long and I’ve got to get out of here. Everyone has this in common a shitty  part time or shitty job and not making enough money.  Now I won’t really be making enough or more money. I went back to  school in January so making money but not really a lot since I’m working a lot of hours like I was in passed months. So only work my minimum of hours of 24. I planned on going back to 32-40 Hours a week to get my money not my funny up. But sales are down and store is dead. Times where it looks like where about to close or open how little or no body in there. It’s sad so if anybody needs my meat come to my meat department. But here’s where the mind boggling people come in I had 32 hours this week and the store manager like a coward decided to cut the hours and give us the schedule the day he’s off. Which technically he can’t do since you can’t change the schedule past Friday.  But the dumber part of it is that he d...
