Quotes: (As told to Liam Mcguire)
Coach Neale: " It was early in the second period (1:10) and we had nothing going. I put out the BBC Line, (Bill Butters, Curt Brackebury and Jack Carlson) and they, well, they got something going. Butters was regularly a defenseman but on this occasion I used him up front. It took Larry Pleau about two years to forgive me but he finally did."
Larry Pleau: Butters gave it to me pretty good to start it and then it's pretty much everyman for himself."
Nick Fotiu: "It was one wild brawl, one of the wildest I had been in or would be in no question about it. One thing though that scared me more than anything else. If I could have, during that second fight with Jack Carlson, I would have killed him. I was that mad. We had gone through the door at the Minnesota players bench and I was fighting him in there and I wanted to kill him, seriously."
Harry Neale: "our players were ecstatic after the game figuring they had intimidated the Whalers and we ended up winning the series in six games so I guess they were right. I'll give Fotiu credit. He was by far their toughest guy and he fought everybody."
