No fighting major for Playfair - Unbelieveable!

I remember watching this one on TV in Pittsburgh... Playfair gets a double minor for roughing Mark Johnson (yes, that USA hockey player)... Wolf, earlier in the game, gets his nose broken by his own goalie, Greg Millen, when Millen's stick hits Wolf on a failed puck clearing attempt. Millen was a horrible goalie...

Wolf not only gives a first intermission interview with a badly smashed nose, but then takes on one of the toughest players ever in the NHL in a titanic fight that Playfair barely won after a long slugfest.

Wolf was fearless! Playfair was scary... I think Ruff and Pat Hughes fought at the same time (Ruff killed Hughes) and that's why Playfair did not get a fighting major... Can't imagine another reason why he did not get one.
