Things I wish Pensburgh was around for: The Ron Hoggarth game

Perhaps the most infamous game of the Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr era.

If you are a fan of chaos, this is the game for you.

It was January 26, 1992, and the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins were in Washington for a game against the Capitals. It ended with three of the best players in the league all being ejected, one of them being suspended for 10 games, and a legend of the game uttering one of his most famous quotes.

Late in the third period Washington’s Kelly Miller scored to give the Capitals a 6-4 lead following some classically incompetent early 1990s NHL officiating where there were simply no rules.
