The NHL All-Star Game has historical roots in an exhibition game held on Feb. 14, 1934 to benefit Player 1 who went into a coma after being hit from behind in a game the previous December by Player 2. (Player 1's father, assuming wrongly that his son would die, went to Boston with a revolver intending to kill Player 2, only to be stopped by Boston police.) Player 2 was likely in a daze himself at the time of the hit and seeking revenge on the wrong man, having been checked a moment earlier by Player 3. Once the hit was made, Player 2 was knocked unconscious with a single punch by Player 4. Name any of the four players described above.
Ace Bailey, Eddie Shore, Red Horner, King Clancy
