"I hope [people] will be moved by what I teach them," he said.
I think people are going to see how serious Canadians take hockey. It'll show them that if you want something bad enough it needs to be taken seriously.

n addition to the class, Bauer has launched an essay contest asking the question, "Are the Montreal Canadiens a religion?"
From everything Ive read, Im pretty sure one can make an argument for this.
-
The arena is their temple, the players are their saviours, and those who worship them pray that the sacrifices made on the ice — of blood, sweat and tears — will lead them to glory. They are the fans of the Montreal Canadiens.
Again, this is reiterating how serious they take Hockey. They are so passionate about it that it is easy to make religious type comparisons about their faith.

hey could count on him retaliating and they would rather see him in the penalty box than on the ice
To me, it is not worth getting clubbed over the head with a stick just to see him going to the penalty box. Got to learn to pick your fights and he is not one to fight.

using aliases to play for multiple teams, often against grown men.
I can relate to this with baseball. Growing up I would play for as many teams as I could because I loved playing the game as much as possible.
-
The Garden crowd is angry.
The crowd may be angry, but they are a part of the problem. They are fueling all the fighting on the ice with their poor decision making going on in the streets and during riots.
-
Then Richard snatches a stick from the ice and swings it wildly at Laycoe. He cuts him below the eye.
This needs to be in a movie. Richard is a total liability not only to his teammates but opponents as well.
-
Laycoe, the Bruins forward had nailed Richard in the first period. He served two minutes for charging. But the hit lit the fuse of Richard’s infamous temper.
Knowing the type of person Richard is, Im not sure making him mad is a good idea. Not only is he going to play even better, hes a maniac. Theres no telling what he may do.
-
This is their 14th and final meeting of the regular season, plenty of games to enflame the animosity between the two teams, but what’s about to happen is even more personal.
Not surprised these teams hate each other. Playing each other 14 times in a season, the players probably know each other better then the other teams and have more opportunities to be at each others necks.

"If that was the start of the Quiet Revolution,it wasn't very quiet."
Could not agree more. Nothing quiet about it.

They have gotten to a point where the fans think its okay to take matters into their own hands to do what they think is right.ultimately, it starts another riot where tear gas is used.
-
Richard had led the Canadiens tothree Stanley Cups and had scored 50 goals in 50 games,
He was a great talent that probably would have lead his team to a 4th Stanley cup if he would just relax on the ice and not try to kill people.
-
as the suspensionthat NHL president Clarence Campbell had handed Richard the daybefore all hell broke loose.
The NHL President knew he was going to be a hated man for giving Richard a suspension but it was completely necessary.
-
No athlete has embodied the soul of a city and the spirit of itspeople as Richard did in the 1940s and '50s in Montreal
I can relate to this because of the impact Lebron James had on Cleveland. Would not be surprised if a statue of him is built when he retires.
-
Smoke from a tear-gas canister haddriven thousands of hockey fans into the streets, sparking afour-hour rampage that yielded the requisite fires, shatteredwindows, looted stores, overturned cars and 137 arrests.
I do not understand the thought process of some people. rioting, starting fires, and looting stores stores doesn't seem like a recipe for success to me.

After the riot, the NHL began to crack down on all-out brawls (especially carrying your stick into one), though it would take another 25 years for the changes to take effect with the institution of the third-man-in rule.
One can argue that this saved the sport of Hockey. Although it did take some time for the changes to take effect, it was totally necessary.
-
Garbage and various fruit rained down on the NHL boss, one man raced up and smeared a tomato on Campbell, and less than a minute later a homemade tear gas bomb went off.
I feel like im reading a script of a comedy skit. Hockey was an absolute mess. Almost unbelievable.
-
He was a talent so large that Conn Smythe, owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, offered a million dollars to the Canadiens for him (about $10 million today)
This made me realize how sports contracts have grown over the years. A 10 million dollar offer was dealt. In today's world, there are top talents signing to teams for over 300 Million.
-
Sticks were high, fists flew, blood often smeared the ice, and the owners thought this was all manly and a great way to sell tickets.
A statement like this would not last today. This shows just how brutal the sport used to be. Although their are still some fights, it seems like it used to be an every game occurrence.
-
"hockey was bigger than the Church, and Rocket Richard was bigger than the Pope."
This is funny to me because the stereotype I've understood when it comes to Hockey is that Canadians run it. They love it more then most things. This puts that into perspective.
