  • a gallon of gas cost $1.16
  • a loaf of bread was $1.57
  • and Dale Hunter of the Washington Capitals received a then-record 21-game suspension from shiny new NHL Commissioner, Gary Bettman, for his blatantly late blindside check on the New York Islanders' Pierre Turgeon, in a Round 1 playoff game a week earlier.
