Every NHL Team's MOST CHEATINGEST Moment

Cheating has no place in the NHl. Yet, here we are. Every NHL team, even the Seattle one has cheated, and today you're going to learn all about those nefarious incidents. Let's do it.

Senators “Oh some guy had an illegal stick” Sabres “Oh that’s cool we once helped a man defect from Russia so he could play with us”

[@Pensfan5919]

Also, Washington and Pittsburgh moments aren't the cheatingest moments. Pittsburgh has the whole Geno in Russia controversy and Washington has Tom Wilson and the most PED suspensions in the 2010s.

[@dannybostain4364]

thedominatior39 R the Red Wings did that more than once. Federov was the first

[@ryansanderson23]

The Wings got at least 3 of their 5 Russians out at pretty much the same time. Really beats the Sabers on that front.

[@thewookie5]

Mogilny was the first one however; I will say though Detroit certainly took the idea and ran with it.

[@twalt]

So did the red wings. this list sucks if 'the joe had springy boards' is a 'cheat'. Everyone knows the joe had springy boards.

[@LigmaPaitent0]

As a Pens fan I would say their most cheating moment was throwing games to get the 1st round pick that drafted Lemieux.

[@treymagathan847]

Chase O'Hern They also intentionally sent down their starting goalie because he was winning too many games and tried to trade their best goal scorer, who, unbelievably enough, scored 50 goals in 1985 even though the entire team was tanking. Hell, the GM even went inside the Penguins locker room after the 1st period of a game against the Rangers where they were up 3-1. After his “motivating” speech, the Pens lost 6-3. Coincidence? I think not.

[@kylejohnson1440]

The last game of the year was against the Devils, who happened to be vying for the 1st overall pick as well. Pittsburgh was leading before dropping the ball and losing the game.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

Tanking in pure form

[@CreightonRabs]

Except that, under today's view of sports, this would be considered smart rather than cheating. Just ask Philadelphia...

[@treymagathan847]

Creighton Rabs The main difference between Philly and Pittsburgh is that the current form of tanking isn’t a guarantee to get the 1st overall pick, especially in the NBA where the projected team to get the first overall pick can slide down to 14th if the odds are that brutal. In 1985 NHL, if you finished last in the league, you were guaranteed the 1st overall pick no matter what, just like the NFL. And unlike the NBA, NHL lottery teams have projection protections where most a lottery team can slide down is three spots from their projections. We saw this this with Colorado twice in a row, where they placed 4th in the draft lottery after tanking in 2017, and once again after stealing Ottawa’s pick for Matt Duchene.

A better cheating moment for the Penguins was in a 2010 game vs the Flyers: A Penguins TV producer intentionally did not show the conclusive angle of a goal crossing the line for a Flyers goal until the goal was waved off. Then it was shown after play was resumed and could not be overturned. The producer was fired afterwards.

[@kylejohnson1440]

Honorable mention: The Sabres once drafted a fake player from Japan in 1974. Their GM was feeling impatient so he decided to create a player. Since international scouting was borderline nonexistent, no one questioned it when the Sabres selected Taro Tsujimoto. It's a really interesting story

[@LordBitememan]

The Mogilny incident is similar to what the Red Wings did with Sergei Fedorov. Fedorov was with CSKA Moscow in Portland for the Goodwill games. After a pre-game he was the last off the bus, met up with a Wings representative before anyone noticed he was gone, was led out the back door of the hotel to a Limo, driven to an airport, put into a private jet, and flown to Detroit.

[@deovalente]

The Red Wings also did tremendous questionable activities to get Sergei Fedorov, Vladimir Konstantinov, and Slava Kozlov from the Soviets, and New Jersey and Vancouver did a lot to get Slava Fetisov and Igor Larionov, respectively! The Russian Five by Keith Gave (a key player in the Wings' plots) describes sneaking them out of hotels after games in FInland and the US, supplying Russian contacts with bribe money with no questions asked, and even providing Soviet military and civilian doctors with new cars in order to declare Slava Kozlov's career over after a car crash and release him from his military obligations! It's a tremendous book. The author was chosen by the President of the Wings personally to go contact Fedorov and Konstantinov in Finland because "you're the only guy I know who speaks Russian," having served in West Berlin as a Russian linguist with the US military in the 70s!

I figured the Canucks moment would be Todd Bertuzzi sucker punching Steve Moore.

[@henrymanzano9168]

That was beyond "cheating". It was straight up assault. Sickening,to this day. What happened to Naslund three weeks earlier didn't warrant that reaction from Bertuzzi. Someone should have fought Moore in Vancouver at the start of the game and settled it,not being passive-agressive cowards,waiting for the opportunity to assault a vulnerable player. If Moore was ducking out,then one hard hit would've sent a message (and if not on Moore,hitting a star player on the Avs,which would have forced Moore to fight)not ending someone's career. No respect for something like that,and no apology makes up for it.

IMHO, the Gretzky trade in 1988 was a win-win for both the Kings and the Oilers as well as the league in general. Gretzky turned the Kings into the hottest ticket in Los Angeles and in 1990, the Oilers proved they could win a Stanley Cup without Gretzky. Plus, thanks to Gretzky's presence in Los Angeles, the NHL added or relocated teams in San Jose, Anaheim, Tampa Bay, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, Raleigh, Nashville and Vegas. (Although the NHL added a team in Atlanta, they relocated to Winnipeg.)
