Kyle McLaren taking out Richard Zednik
Richard Zednik is carrying the puck into the Bruins zone. He makes a sudden move to the inside and he gets absolutely decked by Bruins defenceman Kyle McLaren. Watch Zednik's stick go flying in the air. Zednik is down and hurt. Canadiens Patrice Brisebois comes over and gives McLaren a little push to say 'why you do that?' That's sticking up for your teammate right?  Looking at the replay in slow motion it looks like McLaren's upper shoulder area hits Zednik's face, not his elbow. But that's just me and I'm sure Canadiens fans will disagree. It was a head shot so yeah it was a dangerous hit. Watch the YouTube video below of McLaren's big hit.

Jeff Norton vs Chad Kilger
After the McLaren hit, the Canadiens try and get some "revenge" by going after anyone. You'll see a dirty play by Stephane Quintal, after he dumps the puck into the Bruins zone, he chops/slashes at Dafoe's knee (remember Dafoe was having knee problems I believe that very season) and Dafoe goes down. The camera angle doesn't get it but Quintal and Zamuner are wrestling on the ice after that. While Canadiens Chad Kilger jumps Jeff Norton.

I love that hit, thanks a lot. That was 100% clean, too bad he got suspended for that. I think the Bruins ended up losing that series, and I blame that on no McLaren...

I remember watching that on TV w/ my dad. We were going crazy b/c of the huge hit (as in we liked it) and at the time, it appeared clean to me, however now, it did look like he got clocked with the shoulder. Hell of a series, I remember Bettman had to issue a warning to both teams to keep the violence down. Gotta love the Bruins and Canadians rivalry, one of the best, if not the best in sports IMO.And that was such a cheapshot on Dafoe at the end.

Was this the same series Robero faked the injury? Or was this a year or two prior? (Bruins play the Cannadians so much in the playoffs, I am starting to get my series mixed up, although I don't think this was the same year.)

You're right, this was two years before the ribiero incident series.
