I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Found on Facebook.

QuoteThe "Good Friday Massacre" was a memorable second round playoff series during the 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs.

The game occurred on Good Friday, April 20, 1984 in Montreal, Quebec between the Quebec Nordiques and the Montreal Canadiens.

After a number of fights, a bench-clearing brawl broke out as the siren sounded to end the second period.

Among the fourteen altercations at the end of the second period were the Canadiens' Mario Tremblay smashing the nose of the Nordiques' Peter Stastny, and Nordiques' Louis Sleigher knocking Canadiens' Jean Hamel unconscious by sucker-punching him in the eye. Bruce Hood, the referee for the game, sent the teams off the ice without officially ending the second period by assigning penalties for the brawl.

After the intermission, with all players from both teams on the ice to warm up for the third period, a second brawl broke out.

The public address announcer started reading the penalty summary as the players warmed up, and as players heard the confirmation that they were to be ejected from the game anyway, some felt they "might as well take some guys with (them)" (per Larry Robinson), as "they had nothing to lose" (per Guy Carbonneau). In particular, the Canadiens players went after the Nordiques' Louis Sleigher, furious with him for the damage he had inflicted on Jean Hamel in the original brawl. The second brawl included a fight between brothers Dale Hunter (Nordiques) and Mark Hunter (Canadiens).

The game resulted in 11 ejections, a total of 252 penalty minutes and
referee Bruce Hood's retirement.

Apparently, mother Hunter was really angry at her sons for that fight.

Hood went on to a career being an international ref and trained hockey refs. He also wrote a couple of books that did well.

"Woke" is now almost exclusively used by those who seek to deride it, those who chafe at the activism from which it sprang. Opponents to the idea are seeking to render it toxic. They use it to stand in for change itself, for evolution, for an accurate assessment of history and society that makes them uncomfortable and deflates their hagiographic view of American history.

Much better career than being an NHL ref in these times.

Maybe, I had a buddy growing up I got to know through competitive swimming who became a ref - he seemed to enjoyed it.
