This is one of the most dramatic things I have ever read. I actually laughed a little reading this because it is actually insane to me that hockey became this important that they care about it even more than religion. Although, knowing the strife of religion and the public at the time, I can see how they used hockey to fill the void. But still....so dramatic.

So was Laycoe not suspended? I am curious as to what his punishment was. This also makes me think of the fight that happened during the Browns vs Steelers game and how the Browns player finally snapped after being basically harassed the whole game and then he was the one who got suspended.

revenge was on some fans' minds
I cannot for the life of me, imagine being this worked up over a player getting suspended for some hockey games. Definitely proves that statement that hockey was bigger than religion and Rocket was bigger than the Pope.

My brother took some of these three years ago when he had the kidney trouble so badly that he was hardly able to work at all,
I would love to know what these pains were and why they thought it was their kidneys
-
"The newspaper that spoke of this medicine," Eutrope Gagnon went on, "put it that whenever a person falls sick and is in pain it is always the kidneys; and for trouble in the kidneys these pills here are first-rate. That is what the paper said, and my brother as well."
as a future medical professional this makes me cringe, but also so thankful for the advances North America has made in medicine

Already the pea-soup smoked in the plates.
pea-soup must have been a staple in their diets

Azalma was a tall, flat-chested woman with the undeveloped features of a child, who talked very quickly and almost without taking breath while she made ready the meal in the kitchen
seems interesting to have such a shrewd description of this woman, that the fact that she has small breasts is something that needs to be pointed out in text??? weird

where we take charge of the French as well as of the savages, there are no defenses except of wood; no walls except palings, which easily catch fire; there is no house except of bark or thatch; and in these we live, [page 21] with no defense against barbarian attach dub If God in his goodness deliver me, a sinner, to their fury, gladly and willingly for his glory, and for my sheep, will I lay down my life, which I do not hold more precious than their salvation
They are always calling the Indians savages or barbarians, they are entirely disrespectful to the natives of this land that they are taking over. The author is also saying that he is willing to die to make sure the Indians can be "saved." Even though the Indians already have their own religions and a lifestyle they chose, the French think that they either need to convert or they will fight and die.

Since, however, by the grace of God, through the open profession we, leave, made of this virtue. we have secured thus much, that they dare neither to do nor to mention anything contrary to it in our presence,- even going so far as to threaten Strangers when they offend against propriety before us,
telling of their successes, pretty much summing up what they set out to do and letting those back in France know that they are succeeding in their mission

It is by his aid that we have already planted the Cross in the midst of this Barbarism, and are beginning and will continue, if it please him, to make known the name and marvelous works of him who by the Cross has redeemed the world
All the work of these men was to spread the word of the bible, and they also have no respect for the Indians or their culture.
-
Frenchmen will greatly aid not only to bring together and encourage to work the idle and wandering Savages, but to incite them to do for God what they shall find practicable.
I think this line shows that they think the Indians are "savages" but they can be saved.
