Kelly H. and the HNiC were looking at a video of Billy S. slashing Lindy Ruff in the eye. Found it on You Tube. It was in a 1980 playoff game at the Coliseum with the Isles on the PK and leading 3-2. His point of reference was a slash by Anderson on Marleau. The relevant part starts about the 1:15 point.

The New York Islanders win their second consecutive Stanley Cup, defeating the upstart Minnesota North Stars. Bedlam ensues. Butch Goring wins the Conn Smythe.
