Not Your Everyday Top 10 List

SI.com's Michael Farber came up with a column about hockey's 10 most embarrassing moments. Unfortunately, the title and subtitle were truthfully labeled this way:
Embarrassing moments
Hockey so full of humiliation, it's hard to stop at 10

The Flyers did make the list, at #4 for GM Bob Clarke's (mis-)handling of Roger Neilson when he was stricken with cancer.

However, my favorite on the list is by far #9 -- "Have another doughnut": May 1988. I still laugh about this, 18+ years later. Say what you want about it being embarrassing -- and Farber's point isn't so much that what Schoenfeld did was embarrassing as it is that league president John Ziegler's action and then lack of action was -- it was damn funny.
