Start this video at 42:10. A few of them there, but the most notable one is Terry Crisp. This was 1990 after that controversial goal called back that really should have counted. This was overtime in Game 6 and the Flames ended up losing this game and the series. Crisp was as mad as a wet hen.


I can't find Pat Burns' angry reaction in the 1998 series against the Capitals when his Bruins had that overtime goal called back because of Tim Taylor's (?) toe in the crease. The anger, the teeth gritting, you could just feel his rage. I can't find the clip but if someone else can, then great.

Bob Berry throwing the stick at the ref, can't find the video, but I can only imagine how many games he gets for that today.

Tom Webster was suspended a few times, throwing a stick directed at Kerry Fraser.

NHL Suspends Kings' Webster : Hockey: Stick-throwing incident will cost him 12 games, the longest penalty ever given a coach by the league.
For hitting referee Kerry Fraser in the foot with a thrown stick, the Kings' Tom Webster has been hit with the biggest suspension ever handed an NHL coach.

Webster was suspended for 12 games, effective immediately, by league officials Wednesday, and the Kings were fined $10,000.

Webster threw his tantrum--and the hockey stick--Nov. 16 in a game against the Detroit Red Wings at the Forum. Upset when he thought Fraser had failed to make a proper call, Webster hurled the stick from the bench. It hit the ice and grazed one of Fraser's skates.


And then there was this incident...


Webster Suspended and Fined $5,000
King Coach Tom Webster has been suspended by the NHL for four games and fined $5,000 for exchanging punches with the Calgary Flames' Doug Gilmour in Saturday's game at the Forum.

Gilmour was suspended for two games and fined $500. Teammates Tim Hunter (two-game suspension) and Joel Otto ($500) were also punished for their part in what turned into a brawl between the teams.

The Kings maintain that tapes show that Hunter and Otto subsequently hit Webster.

The Kings have declined their right of appeal, meaning Webster's suspension begins immediately. In addition to missing Thursday's game, he will be out of Sunday's regular-season finale and the first two games of the playoffs.

Hmmm, for some reason I thought that was Bob Berry on St. Louis. I stand corrected.

Maybe not the angriest but Craig McTavish pulling Harvey the Hounds tongue off has got to be the funniest by far.

Playfair freaking out when he was with the Flames AHL team was a good one.
