The vaultlike arena rumbled with the noise of battle. Fist fights broke out on the ice, and fans started another by jumping three Toronto players and their coach at the end of the game (which Toronto won, 5 to 1).

To be healed internally as well, the patient swallows a little of the painting in herb tea. Leaving a sand painting...
