Don't you really hate it when the hockey intrudes on the fighting? ;-)

NHL was the first major American sport I was exposed to, since my first 
2 years in the US were spent in Buffalo, and the Sabres were far better 
at hockey than the Bills at football (early 1980s). But my fondest 
hockey memory was the 1969 World Championship final, when Czechoslovakia 
beat the Soviet Union--I was an 8-year old child living in Communist 
Poland back then, and the whole country (where hockey is otherwise not 
that popular) was glued to the screen, hoping that the Czechs would be 
able extract some revenge for the crushing of the Prague spring the 
previous year, albeit in this small way. Sports and politics were very 
much mixed in those days.
