Craig MacTavish Boston Bruins Autographed Puck with "Shoe Brawl 12-23-79" Inscription

December 23, 1979 Madison Square Garden, New York
In his 3rd career game, Boston rookie Craig MacTavish found himself in the middle of the infamous "Shoe Brawl" game.

The Bruins had just defeated the Rangers 4-3, with MacTavish recording an assist.

The Bruins and the Rangers had been squabbling on the ice when a fan reached over the glass and hit Bruins forward Stan Jonathan and grabbed his stick. Terry O’Reilly then climbed over the glass and his teammates soon followed, and a brawl ensued up in the stands.

Several Bruins including MacTavish climbed into the stands to confront fans at Madison Square Garden, and during the melee defenseman Mike Milbury took off a guy’s shoe and hit him with it.

Milbury and McNab were suspended for six games and fined $500. O’Reilly got suspended for eight games and was fined $500.

Authenticity: This puck has been hand signed by Craig MacTavish and will ship with a Pro Am Sports hologram.
