This will always be my lasting memory of Lindy as a player. After taking the cheapshot, he turned on Smith like a doberman attacking a ham.
Smith taped the 'knob' of his stick about an inch or two below the butt end. The unpadded edge of Smith's stick cut Lindy on the cheek. Ruff wasn't the only victim of Smith's jabs and the league mandated that all goalies had to tape the entire butt end of their sticks the next year.
