The game is best remembered, however, for a brawl after the final buzzer, including a bout between goaltender Ron Hextall and Felix Potvin. Hextall, who was cut during the spirited fight, had the last laugh. The Flyers' goaltender triumphantly pointed to the scoreboard as he skated off past taunting Toronto players.
