Ah, vendettas. In the NHL, there have been more squabbles and pissing matches that would make network television executives salivate more than necessary. To that end, over the long history of the National Hockey League, which player/coach/executive suffered the biggest screw job as a result of a squabble?

I gotta go with Harold Ballard firing Roger Neilson, only to bring the coach back two days later. To add insult to injury, Ballard would not tell the media who the new coach was, telling them "You'll have to watch the game and see". To start the game Ballard forced Neilson to put a bag over his head until the end of the first period. If I'm not mistaken, Ballard fired him again at the end of the season. (it may have been at the end of the next season though)

Clint Malarchuck Buffalo Sabres goalie, hands down. After having a skate lacerate his jugular vein, immediately laying in a pool of blood, quick thinking by the trainer saved his life, and is eaisly the luckiest soul possibly ever to play. That may be the scariest thing I ever saw in a hockey game. As far as lucky sucess wise I'd have to say maybe the back up Goalie for some of those dynasty Edmonton or New York Islander teams. Grant Fuhr and Billy Smith pretty much played every game.

Well Brett Hull scoring the game winner in the 99 SCF against Buffalo had they had proper video review that would have been ruled differently they even said so last season sometime and Buffalo could have possibly won the cup but now we will never know that is injustice

First thing I thought of is the way the captaincy of the Detroit Red Wings was taken away from Ted Lindsay and he was then traded to Chicago (who were usually the last place team in those days). All because he was a driving force behind the formation of the NHLPA.

Ted Nolan being blacklisted for almost a decade comes to mind. I'm convinced that the Sabres would have a Stanley Cup if it kept Nolan as coach.

The laymans answer is going to be Steve Moore, but he was a borderline NHL player to begin with and could very well have been out of hockey on his very own...
My answer to the greatest injustice is Mike Milbury's tenure as the islanders GM. The fans and storied franchise did nothing to deserve his setting the team back a decade.
