The Worst Hockey Fight: 1984

[doniceage]

n 1984, Quebec’s two NHL teams, the Quebec Nordiques and the Montreal Candiens, squared off in a playoff series that went from being a local, heated rivalry, into an all out war on ice.

In Game 6 of the matchup, almost immediately after the first faceoff, the matchup turned ugly. It’s obviously not unusual for fights to erupt on the ice in big, tense matchups, but with so much culturally on the line in the most important sport in Canada, and obviously the provence of Quebec, tempers gave way to pure, primal hatred over the course of multiple periods in the game.

It's like Islanders vs. Rangers, with subtitles.
