## Resource

On April 28, 1993, the NHL witnessed one of its most infamous moments. In Game 6 of the playoff series between the New York Islanders and Washington Capitals, Dale Hunter delivered a brutal cheap shot on Pierre Turgeon moments after Turgeon scored the series-clinching goal. The blindside hit left Turgeon with a separated shoulder, forcing him to miss nearly all of the Islanders’ remaining playoff games and earning Hunter a record-setting 21-game suspension from newly appointed NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. This episode dives deep into the context, the fallout, and the lasting legacy of a play that changed NHL discipline forever. Hear about the heated rivalry, the aftermath in both locker rooms, and how this moment still sparks debate among hockey fans and historians.
