This is from Game 4 of the quarterfinal series against the Caps in 1996. Also the game that went 4 Overtimes and Peter Nedved scored the game winner.
He then went to smoke a dart in the box and finish with 5 points. probably.
Super Mario was a big dude….. I wonder if he had played a little bit more like Howe in the corners,and tight spots if he would have created a bit more space and time for him self.
Wrong guy to piss off
“We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players. We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action.“
I’ll give him a mulligan. Lemieux was beaten his whole career, just a little payback.
Damn
If Shoresy could average 1.88 ppg in the Show.
Bucket was off
Looks like a lot of clutching and grabbing to me.
He had to put up with so much crap when he was playing. It’s a wonder he didn’t snap more. We missed out on a few years of his greatness because of it.
LBG did not like Todd Krygier
Krygier has at him all game and wasn’t getting called for it. Earlier in this play Krygier gave Mario a little bit of a “face wash” which is why he’s missing his helmet. Mario snapped.

This doesn’t look like anything to me.
Looks clean to me, boys!
Best player ever
