==Regular Season==
During the December 19, 1969 Chicago Black Hawks-Seals match, early in the second period with the game scoreless, Carol Vadnais caught Keith Magnuson on the boards with a high hit and after Magnuson fell to the ice, Vadnais began to pummel him. A melee broke out which resulted in minor penalties only. Ten minutes later, Vadnais and Magnuson fought again and both went off for seven minutes. Shortly after, the Hawks scored two quick goals and the third period started with them leading 2-0. At 1:42, Vadnais and Magnuson began to joust again and exhausted, the linemen backed away. The two fought for a third time and both were given game misconducts. The Hawks scored twice more and Gary Smith earned the shutout in the 4-0 victory.
Bob Boughner played his first NHL game (of 20 total) on March 3, 1970 in the Seals 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
