Cheers to jeers Orr, who had been greeted with roars of encouragement by the capacity crowd of about 10,000 every time he touched the puck, found himself booed lustily when he next came on the ice. The jeering subsided somewhat in the second period and he sat out the third. The original trouble started as Green and Maki tangled along the boards with Green drawing a minor penalty at that point The two players then took shots at each other and this was followed by sick swinging on both sides.

Dr. Dave Streater immediately ordered him to hospital by Ottawa Fire Department's Emergency car where Dr. Michel Richard, a neuro-surgeon, was called.

The incident also tran-Ished the "idol" image of Boston's Bobby Orr, who would have sent Maki to tlift hospital if he had connected with his stick a few minutes later. After players from both clubs had flocked to the ice following the first flareup, order was restored and referee Ken Bodendistel assessed Green with minor penalties for high-sticking and rough play and a match penalty. Maki was tagged with a minor for high-sticking and a match penalty. Then as Maki was leaving the ice, Orr led a charge toward him, swung at him and fortunately missed.
