Copied from wiki, because I'm lazy:
"On May 29, 1996, during game six of the Western Conference Finals of the 1996 playoffs, (Red Wing) Kris Draper was checked from behind into the boards at the end of the players bench by Colorado Avalanche player Claude Lemieux. The hit forced Draper face first into the dasher (the top edge of the boards), causing him to suffer a broken jaw, broken nose, broken cheekbone, and a concussion. When the Wings and Avalanche met again on March 26, 1997, play was very physical between the two teams, and the anger over the injuries to Draper set off a massive brawl (Brawl in Hockeytown) between the two teams."
In other words, it was time to pay the piper.
