Timeline

1964

Ulf Bo Samuelsson (born March 26, 1964) is a Swedish-American former professional ice hockey defenceman who formerly served as assistant coach of the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League.

He played several seasons in the NHL with the Hartford Whalers, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, and Philadelphia Flyers.

1982

Samuelsson was selected 67th overall by the Hartford Whalers in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft.

1986

The two-game series between the NHL All-Stars and the Soviet national team took place in Quebec City and replaced the NHL's mid-season all-star game for the 1986–87 season.

1987

In February 1987, Samuelsson played in the "Rendez-vous '87" series as a member of the NHL All-Stars.

1991

He is a two-time Stanley Cup champion, winning with the Penguins in 1991 and 1992, and the first European-born player to have 2,000 career penalty minutes.

During his playing career, Samuelsson was viewed by NHL stars as "the most hated man in hockey"; he was described to the New York Times as "the lowest form of human being" and someone whose play is all about "trying to hurt you and knock you out of the game".

He is also infamous for his knee-to-knee hit on Boston Bruins Cam Neely during the 1991 playoffs that was a contributing factor of Neely's early retirement five years later.

Throughout his NHL career, Samuelsson was heavily criticized by hockey commentator Don Cherry for his dirty style of play.

He was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Ron Francis in 1991 and was a member of Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup winning team in 1991 and 1992.

He scored the 1991 Stanley Cup-winning goal in game six of the finals against the Minnesota North Stars, at 2:00 of the first period in what became an 8–0 blowout victory for Pittsburgh.

In a game versus the Boston Bruins during the 1991 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Samuelsson hit Bruins' star forward Cam Neely with a knee-on-knee check that injured Neely and caused him to develop a condition called myositis ossificans, which ultimately ended his career.

1995

As a member of the New York Rangers in 1995, Samuelsson was knocked unconscious by a punch to the face from Tie Domi of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Domi received an eight-game suspension and a fine for the incident.

Domi insisted that Samuelsson provoked the punch by repeatedly calling him "dummy".

Samuelsson played 1,080 career NHL games, scoring 57 goals and 275 assists for 332 points.

He accumulated 2,453 penalty minutes over the course of his career.

During the Nagano Olympics, he was ejected from the Swedish team when it was discovered that he had requested and received US citizenship.

His Swedish citizenship was revoked and he was not allowed to play.

2008

The entire ordeal was listed as the seventy-second most important international story by the IIHF in their centennial celebrations in 2008.
