I was actually at this game sitting on the opposite side of the arena in the upper bowl. I saw the hit and then the players seemed to disappear, I was a bit baffled then I saw Linden pulling Norton back off the laps of the fans in the front rows. I couldn't wait to get home after the game to catch the highlights on the late night sports.

If I remember correctly this was during the first round of the 1995 playoffs. Vancouver went on to win the series 4-3.

They use that plexi glass... the same stuff my screen door was made out of for my house. They used to use that glass, now i think its a Pyrex type of glass. Either way i saw the game that changed the way glass is done in the arena, it was a game where this guy got checked into the unpadded glass between the Sin Pin and the wall glass, he cut his face from chin to the top of his forehead, some 47 stitches.

If any one remembers the game let me know because I saw it, but cant remember the player.

thats kind of what I'm talking about below.

Did the fans get hurt from the broken glass?

No fans were hurt by the broken glass. It's safety glass so when it breaks it shatters into little pieces that aren't particularly sharp. They were a little surprised to say the least
