I bought a copy of Grimson's book, he mentions this brawl, said he went nuts because Halkidis kept trying to fight Marchment, who was coming back from a broken cheekbone, and after warning Halkidis ("Don't Touch Him"), Halkidis still punched Marchment in the face, that's when Grimson broke away from the bench
Grimson got 2 for Unsportsmanlike, 10 Minute Misconduct, 2 Game Misconducts. Marchment and Halkidis each got 5 for Fighting and a Game Misconduct. Roenick and Ellett each got 2 for Roughing. Steve Smith got 5 for Fighting , 10 Minute Misconduct, and a Game Misconduct. Clark got 5 got Fighting and a 5 Minute Match Penalty for Spearing.
I was lucky enough to tape this game. Should have kept it. Clark aggressively goes after the puck while Larmer is trying to cover it up. Next thing you know Marchment sticks his nose where it don't belong and comes at Clark. Clark high sticks him, while he's down he slashes him. Next is Steve Smith and the rest of the hawks have him surrounded. I had to put it in super slow mo. Smith is holding Clark's glove up near his own head. Clark immediately takes his hand out and breaks Smith's face. This whole incident from digging for the puck to Smith getting pummeled happens in 3-4 seconds. This is what happens when you force Clark to overreact. The only thing that would have caused this ballet to be perfect would've been Clark and Grimson to go.
If I remember correctly Steve Smith tried fighting Wendel the following season in Chicago. To put it bluntly, Wendel beat the shit out if him......again.

Marchment should not have been playing
Marchment looked like he was doing alright, in fact without the injury I'd take him in beating Halkidis, Halkidis was a Slug.
@@jason-hy8ci Agreed.
Scapinello is probably the only official who could calm Grimson down like that. Maybe the only guy in the building

Yup. 185 penalty minutes.
Never noticed how Lucien DeBlois kind of looks like Craig Berube.
RIP Marchment.
Clark 1 punched Smith , beauty
Grimson got like a 10 game suspension. LOL
Too bad he wasn't banned for good. What a tool he was. Nothing wrong with a good scrap but I don't miss guys like him at all.

Clark got away with some B.S......... again.

Got away with some BS? Why didn't anyone try to stop him? Probably because they saw Steve Smith's face and thought better of it.
