On Dec. 24, 1979, the Boston Bruins scaled the ice and brawled with fans after a game against the New York Rangers. I just saw the video for the first time.

Highlight: Al Secord rips off a Rangers fan's shoe and beats him with it.

That's classic stuff, but just about everyone else in the world cites "Mad" Mike Milbury as the shoe beater.

I'm trying to imagine what the NHL would do if something like that happened today. Suspend the whole team?
