Original Toronto Star caption: And in the centre ring...., It's a three-ring circus, with acts going on in background and linesman Brian Sopp as ringmaster introducing main feature between Habs' Ted Harris (10) and Orland Kurtenbach (25). At left rear, Eddie Shack and Claude Larose have ding-dong battle going, while behind Sopp it's John Ferguson, (with sweater off), retaliating by removing Peter Stemkowski's jersey. Bush league brawl helped set eight playoff records.
