This Day in Sports History
January 25, 1951:
Longtime antagonists Terrible Ted Lindsay of the Red Wings and Wild Bill Ezinicki of the Bruins renew their hostilities with a four-star imbroglio, enlivening a 3-3 tie at the Olympia in Detroit. The two combatants slug it out in the third period and start up again near the penalty box area after being separated by the linesmen. Each suffers cuts around the eyes, among other abrasions, and each receives a match penalty, a three-game suspension and a $300 fine from the league.
