I really like him he shows pride and patriotism which is always a good thing. If you think about it Canada didn't win silver they lost gold so why not talk about it?
It's a shame that most people here think Don Cherry is a clown.
That guy knows a lot about hockey and most of what is says is 100% spot on. You kids should listen to him!
But surely you can understand why people get irritated by him too. I know I was when he blatantly ignored Hedman in the opening segment of this video. Very odd conduct.
I think Cherry is awesome and right most of the time. I don't care if he is totally pro-Canadian biased. He is Canadian isn't he?
Anyway - I think of "Canadian-style hockey" as a description of north-american hockey. Americans play the same style as Canada anyways IMO.

When the World Baseball Classic occured I didn't see any Americans having signs stating "It's Our Game". Same thing goes for basketball.
Exactly what I was getting at.
And you know why? Because the average American sports fan doesnt base their patriotism on insignificant international sports competitions.
But it's silly for us Americans to wonder why Canadians are so freakishly nuts when it comes to stuff like the WJC;s. Here in America we have the NFL, College Bowls and the NBA to keep our sports markets preoccupied.
What does Canada have in late December? The Raptors and Speedskating?
The third story on TSN.ca is Josh Gorges knee injury. LOL they didnt even mention the Garza trade.
I dont have a problem with die-hard fans...but the whole sense of ownership is sooooooo friggin stupid. I mean, I'm a yankees fan, and all the times I saw the Yanks not win a World Series, I certainly didn't think "That trophy belongs to NY" or "Baseball is NY's game"
I find it surprising that you think you can just write him off as "entertainment", without realizing that he actually influences people in a negative way. Especially kids.I love Don Cherry because he riles up so many people that for some reason take him seriously. It's fantastic.
Or when you express any sort of disapproval with his incessant prattling over dying soldiers on a program that's supposed to be about hockey, and then everyone blows a gasket and insinuates that you hate your country and probably caused 9/11My favorite thing is when people defend his racism, calling it nationalism.
And then you answer: "Your ignorant insinuations make me believe you are alot closer to causing - and supporting - catastrophies than I ever will be. When said corrupt nations support mass murder and mass oppression of ourselves and the destruction of other cultures, and actually fund them with taxes, it's not that hard to take a step back and ask wth is going on here."Or when you express any sort of disapproval with his incessant prattling over dying soldiers on a program that's supposed to be about hockey, and then everyone blows a gasket and insinuates that you hate your country and probably caused 9/11

And what am I supposed to do with such a short answer, with you giving nothing but a general disapproval? It becomes nothing but a redundancy. Don't tell me you're a nationalist.My whine-o-meter just exploded reading your posts in the WJC section of the forum, Chimp.
