19763\u20135Winnipeg Jets (1975\u201376)41\u201335\u20134[4]Playoffs[edit]In the playoffs, the Cowboys met the Quebec Nordiques in the first round. The series is best known for one of hockey’s most legendary brawls.[5]  The incident began when Calgary’s Rick Jodzio cross-checked Quebec’s Marc Tardif in the head, causing both teams to leave their benches.[6] The brawl lasted 20 minutes, and ended only when Quebec police gathered at the players benches and escorted the teams back to their dressing rooms.[7]  The game resumed following a 20-minute break to allow both teams to cool down, then resumed without eleven players who were ejected from the game.[6]  The incident caught the attention of Quebec’s Solicitor General Fernand Lalonde, who had the incident investigated as a criminal matter.[6] Jodzio was suspended indefinitely by the league, and later pleaded guilty in a Quebec court to a charge of assault over the incident.[8]  Cowboys coach Joe Crozier was suspended for the rest of the series.[7]Calgary went on to defeat the Nordiques, who had finished 18-points ahead of Calgary in the regular season, but were defeated by the Winnipeg Jets in the second round. The team never really captured the attention of Calgarians, as fewer than 5,000 fans, on average, attended playoff games against the Jets.[9]Calgary Cowboys 4, Quebec Nordiques 1[edit]Winnipeg Jets 4, Calgary Cowboys 1[edit]Player stats[edit]Regular seasonScoringGoaltendingPlayerMINGPWLTGAGAASODon McLeod353463302732063.501Wayne Wood88019931453.071Ed Humphreys4418250273.670Team:485580413542783.442PlayoffsScoringGoaltendingPlayerMINGPWLGAGAASODon McLeod5791055373.830Ed Humphreys2010000.000Team:5991055373.710[10]Note: Pos = Position; GP = Games played; G = Goals; A = Assists; Pts = Points; +\/- = plus\/minus; PIM = Penalty minutes; PPG = Power-play goals; SHG = Short-handed goals; GWG = Game-winning goals\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0MIN = Minutes played; W = Wins; L = Losses; T = Ties; GA = Goals-against; GAA = Goals-against average; SO = Shutouts; Awards and records[edit]This section is empty.
