crush the Maple Leafs
Sounds like a fun class.
Gazette writer Red Fisher, covering his first NHL game thatnight, now says
It makes sense how it happened. Very cool for me as a big sports fan to read about this history that I did not know about before.
Then Richard snatches a stick from the ice and swings it wildly at Laycoe. He cuts him below the eye.
Hockey fans love a good fight!
They want to arrest Richard for assault, to throw him in jail for the night.
Sometimes in these fights I wonder if they should be punished more severely. For example, the Browns DE a couple years ago took a quarterbacks helmet and hit him with it. He was suspended but at what point do these attacks become assult?
Out on the street, the largest riot since Conscription was passed in 1944 (bringing in the draft for the final year of the Second World War) broke out along a seven-block length of Rue Ste. Catherine, featuring overturned cars, smashed windows, a shot fired from somewhere and 137 arrests.
It is easy in sports for fans to fight other fans or even opposing players. In the malice at the palace in Detroit basketball, the players were fighting the fans in the stands.
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.
Even though it is probably for the best to stop the major brawls, for the fans they are very entertaining.
An hour of cards,
They played cards even way back in the day.
And so you sold the farm when your father died?"
Sad to see
ny hillocks they passed through seemed to close in behind them; the burnt lands gave place to darkly-crowding spruces and firs; now and then they caught momentary sight of the distant mountains on the Riviere Alec; and soon the travellers discerned a clearing in the forest, a mounting column of smoke, the bark of a dog.
The entire semester we have been discussing story telling and how to tell a good story. Well the writer is doing a good job of that.
severely beaten
Another beating...IT seems to be all the missionaries experienced.
attack us the next morning
Wow they got attacked a lot...
even on seeing him dead
It is just awful what some people do to others.
At 3 river
Interesting reading about their lives.
ur Very Humble and very obedient Servant
All I can say is wow. This was tough to read.
I slave seen no torment which more moved me to compassion than that. For you see a man, bound naked to a post, who, having this collar on his neck, cannot tell what posture to take. For, if he lean forward, those above his shoulders weigh the more on him; if he lean back, those on his stomach make him suffer the same torment; if he keep erect, without leaning to one side or other, the burning ratchets, applied equally on both sides, give him a trouble torture.
This is very difficult to read as you picture yourself in his shoes.
preaching of the Gospel
Even though the life there is very difficult, they are fulfilling their purpose of going. Turning once fierce people into more docile as they preach the Gospel.
Their estate of Notre Dame des Anges is rented, at 100 écus.
As I read this so far, what I am gathering is it is very difficult because supplies is short, and the Iroquois keep attacking.
The funeral ceremonies over, the mourning does not cease
I find it interesting that they respect the dead but don't talk about it outside of funerals.

If I am being honest, I struggled to understand this chapter.
Sometimes, also, one of these jugglers will say that the whole Country is sick, and he asks a game of crosse to heal it; no more needs to be said, it is published immediately everywhere; and all the Captains of each Village give orders that all the young men do their duty in this respect, otherwise some great [130] misfortune would befall the whole Country.
It seems that this chapter is talking about the people have these incredible feasts to forget about the troubles of life. I could be wrong with that interpretation?
Our scanty baggage was also faithfully brought, and in fairly good condition. You would scarcely believe the good done last year by the distribution you made to our Hurons of peas, bread, and sagamité, and by the kindly attentions you showed them. That good treatment has won their hearts for you and for us also. We do not go anywhere without hearing that our Brothers at Kébec are very courteous and liberal. Everything is leading these Peoples to receive the seed of the Gospel, for the affection they have for us renders them disposed to believe what we tell them.
I find this interesting as this is their goal as missionaries. Earlier we were reading about fevers and sickness, hunger..lots of very tough things. And then at the end of the paragraph, They are known to still be courteous, the people saw their kindness. This is impactful of showing their heart.
