What did Martin Luther King, Jr. have to do with Hockey?

Absolutely nothing, yet his messages and sermons that broached the subject of anger and the controlling of such should be of great interest to the Boston Bruins, as they seemingly have lost sight of their goal, their judgement clouded by anger.

once sermonized that "I will not allow someone to control me by causing me to be angry with them."

“Hatred is a form of faith, distilled by passion to remove all rationality.”
L.E. Modesitt Jr., The Elysium Commission

“When you end up in a fight with someone, make sure you don’t carry the feeling next day because if you do so, you allow a part of yourself to remember ignoring and hating someone unimportant each time you wake up.”
Ram Mohan

“Guilt and rage, hatred and fear were pathways to weakness and clumsy choices.”
Jonathan Maberry, Dust and Decay

“The paradox of vengefulness is that it makes men dependent upon those who have harmed them, believing that their release from pain will come only when they make their tormentors suffer.
Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

“If you want to strengthen an enemy and make him exult - hate him.”
Idries Shah, Reflections
