WHA goon Gordie "Machine Gun" Gallant punches out his coaches (Harry Neale and jack McCarten) prior to the 1975 Minnesota Fighting Saints/New England Whalers WHA Playoff.
Ballard Smith,President, San Diego Mariners 1976: "When we came in here today, we knew the Saints were going to play goon-style hockey and that's what came about," said Smith. "The Saints have a lot of goons and Gord Gallant is the worst. He tried to start a brawl and he did. This is the very kind of violence we are trying to legislate against "
