today in bruins history - february 25

The single most penalized game in NHL history was between the North Stars and Bruins, February 25, 1981. The teams combined for 392 minutes. Whoa.

Here's some footage. It takes a nice twist around the 4 minute mark.

"One of the wildest scenes, we have ever seen, at the Garden."

(Bruins won, 5-1. Like it mattered.)

sure - its a little dubious though.

well, not as dubious as the bruins team that went into the crowd to beat people with their own shoes....

but still dubious.
