LabattBlue Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Randy Holt set a NHL record of 67 PIM in one game... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Holt March 11, 1979 The toughest player on the Los Angeles Kings, Holt had been acquired mid-way through the 1978–79 season to add muscle to a skilled Kings team, and was expected to be a factor when the team travelled to Philadelphia to face off against the fearsome Flyers. After picking up a minor penalty early in the first period, Holt fought Philadelphia enforcer Frank Bathe at 14:58 of the first period, picking up 20 minutes in penalties. However, Holt felt that he had been a victim of a cheapshot from Flyers' agitator Ken Linseman earlier in the game, and at the end of the first period instigated a bench-clearing brawl in an attempt to settle the score with Linseman. He was assessed a further 45 minutes in penalties for his actions during the brawl, including a triple game misconduct, bringing his game total to 67, shattering the previous NHL record of 52 set by Jim Dorey in 1968. He was also suspended three games by the league for his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Frickin Kenny Linesman. He was behind all the bad stuff that happened back then. Of course he threw a cheapshot. That's what he did. That's all he did. :P Triple game misconduct is funny as hell. I get the idea of multiple death penalties because it lengthens the time before parole eligability, but multiple game misconducts? It's not like he'd get back into the game anyway. :unsure: You know what this league lacks today? Characters. Borderline (or not so borderline) nutjobs. We could use a Tiger Williams right about now. A couple of guys who are damn near bat ###### crazy would do so much to the enjoyment level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sight of him taking off down the ice, shag haircut flying was enough to make one cheer...or laugh. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sight of him taking off down the ice, shag haircut flying was enough to make one cheer...or laugh. Awesome! He would also fly to the bench and hide behind it to avoid a penalty call!

Weave Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 How did he get 20 minutes in penalties from that first fight? From Hockeydraftcentral; The 67-Penalty-Minute Game: Holt is the only player in NHL history to be assessed more penalty minutes than the length of an actual game. His record-setting performance came on March 11, 1979, while he was playing for Los Angeles against the Flyers at the Philadelphia Spectrum. All of the penalty minutes were assessed in the first period, as Holt received one minor, three majors, two 10-minute misconducts and three game misconducts. The first penalty was a minor at 10:25. Holt then took a double major and misconduct for fighting with Frank Bathe at 14:58. He then became involved in a bench-clearing brawl at the end of the first period, for which he received a major, misconduct and triple game misconduct. Holt was deemed the main instigator of the fight and was forced to sit out Los Angeles' next three games. I'm guessing the 2nd major was for whatever action led to the fight with Bathe.

Surely some of the events of recent years warrant inclusion. 2-22-11 will go down in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use a Tiger Williams right about now. A couple of guys who are damn near bat ###### crazy would do so much to the enjoyment level. I wonder if Tiger Williams is planning on pulling a Pegula one day and buying a hockey team? Link Why is a legendary hockey enforcer hunkered down in a cubby hole of a downtown Calgary office, bashing rocks together to prove a point? Retired since 1989, shouldn't he be enjoying his middle years hunting, fishing, working card shows, playing in old-timers games? Nope. Eighteen years after last skating in the NHL, David (Tiger) Williams, 52, is humping into work every day, holding down the fort as chief executive of his baby, Pacific Rodera Energy Inc. That's right. Notorious, celebrated, vilified, Tiger Williams, yes he of the 4,421 career penalty minutes, is running a publicly traded oil company.

FogBat Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I wonder if Tiger Williams is planning on pulling a Pegula one day and buying a hockey team? Link Very nice. If that's what he intends to do, hopefully he'll be accepted by the NHL's Board of Governors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
