On March 13, 1955, an on-ice episode sparked one of the worst incidents of hockey-related violence in history.[18] On that date, Richard was part of a violent confrontation in a game between the Canadiens and rival Boston Bruins. The Bruins' Hal Laycoe, who had previously played defence for the Canadiens, high-sticked Richard in the head during a Montreal power play.[19] Richard required five stitches to close a cut that resulted from the high-stick.[20] Referee Frank Udvari signaled a delayed penalty, but allowed play to continue because the Canadiens had possession of the puck.[21] When the play ended, Richard skated up to Laycoe, who had dropped his stick and gloves in anticipation of a fight, and struck him in the face and shoulders with his stick. The linesmen attempted to restrain Richard, who repeatedly broke away from them to continue his attack on Laycoe, eventually breaking a stick over his opponent's body before linesman Cliff Thompson corralled him.[21] Richard broke loose again and punched Thompson twice in the face, knocking him unconscious.[20][22] Richard then left the ice with the Canadiens' trainer. According to Montreal Herald writer Vince Lunny, Richard's face looked like a "smashed tomato."[23] Richard was given a match penalty and an automatic $100 fine,[21] while Laycoe got a five-minute major penalty plus a 10-minute misconduct for the high stick.[20][24]

Edit: Was this the playoffs? March, guess not sorry.
Edit 2: It did include the playoffs.

The incident happened in the regular season and went throughout all of the playoffs.

He's too big for the Oilers esls - Kruger or Shaw would fit in nicely with that squad.

Good lateral movement by Quick to keep Bickle from scoring. Just got home to watch the 3rd, it has been a really good period so far.

That looked an awful lot like magic spray. I didn't know they had a hockey version of it.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I wonder why that wasn't icing when Hossa went back and got the puck?
