Mainly due to some great matchups in the post-season. Back when the Wings had a set, they had a great series with the Blues, where on game produced 8 fights. There was also a good North stars/Hawks seres as well.

The real question is WTF happened in 1992? Fighting was always ramped up in the playoffs. Those 91 #s are probably very similar to any year in the 80s. In the early 90s is when it fell off the table. Last edited by Merlin401; 05-13-2009 at 01:50 PM.

In the: 1988 Post-season: 88 fights, which would equate to roughly 176 FMs (give or take a few unfair bouts) 1989 Post-season: 50 fights, roughly 100 FMs 1990 Post-season: 29 fights, roughly 58 FMs Clearly this trend has died. The database here covers back to the 87-88 season, so I can't really tell you what the numbers were before the '88 post-season, but it looks like it has been a falling trend since then. Now my history is a bit foggy, but wasn't the instigator set in place in 1992? and were there any additional "playoff rules" added on as well?

80's hockey was alot of fun.
I thought the instigator was before that, just not called that much.

Here is a 2nd period box score I saved from a 1988 game I was at--- as you can see there are at least 4 instigators handed out.

1984: 94 fights 1985: 95 fights 1986: 86 fights 1987: 80 fights 1988: 88 fights 1989: 50 fights 1990: 29 fights Now to HH, I have read in many different articles that the NHL's official apotion of the instigator rule took place in the 1992-93 season, but I can't exactly find concrete proof, and your box score there certainly is counter evidence. Can anybody verify the very beginning of the instigator rule?

Until I see 50 fights in 1 playoff season again, the "new" playoffs will be considered weaksauce.

I am pretty sure there has always been a instigator rule to some extent but the rule was not really talked about till 1988 and then was not enforced until 92/93 (bettymans first season) when it was made stronger and then it all went to schit!! Hence the major drop in FMs between 91 and 92 regular seasons and playoffs. Also someone asked before if rules were put in for the playoffs and YES this is also true and those rules were carried over into the regular season and exist today.
I will admit I have not watched more than 10 minutes total of the playoffs this season but it is nice to see a few FM's this season for those few people that still watch this garbage.
