Yeah, I love watching it just to see how ****ing Pejorative Slured Cherry can be. It gives me a good laugh.

This is a Cherry thread, not a Crosby thread (or at least that was its intent).SopelFan said:Can we go two days without a Crosby praising thread. Put it on the QMJHL forum.
Fair enough. Just wanted to get that point across. There is one a day and they all get moved. With all this hype he could very well catch the Alexandre Daigle syndrome.Sammy said:This is a Cherry thread, not a Crosby thread (or at least that was its intent).
I believe you underrate the talent of Junior hockey players.......you would be surprised how many of them CAN make that same play, but just never try it. And virtually every forward in the NHL can do an off the ice rap-around, if they are given enough time and want to become a marked man.Douggy said:OMG! I just saw the play Cherry was talking about... wow.
So, I take it you dont agree with his point. Thats fine, but there is some merit to it, dont you think?leafssuck said:I never said he hasn't, but it's obvious he knows jack **** about the Q. Quebec and the Oceanic have an intense rivalry and Crosby gets hacked to pieces anyway. More power to him for taking constant abuse and still rubbing it in.
If Doug Gilmore scored the same goal as a leaf against Montreal Cherry would say, “That Kingston boy has some fine lookin’ hands on him!â€

I think Vlad would be doing quite well if he was as good at his profession/job as Cherry was in coaching.JasonMacIsaac said:4 straight 100 point seasons, Jack Adams Award and a Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award all in 9 years of coaching, he wasn't too bad IMO.
JasonMacIsaac said:He is 16, he has yet to mature and doesn't understand the respect aspect of the game. I guarented when all you guys where 16 you had no respect for the opposing team. Just becasue he has world talents doesn't mean he should mature any faster then you and I.
JasonMacIsaac said:Kind of a bad comparison, protozoa is one celled, no brain, can't really do anything.... i dunno, first thing that came to mind.
Ricci's hairdresser said:I think the excuse that "he is only 16" is a load of crap. You can teach a 3 year old to be polite and say please and thank you. Surely, you can teach a 16 year old, who is old enough to have the responsibility of driving a car and has played the game for years and years, the basics of respect and sportsmanship. What a total cop out to pass this off as immaturity. You may not like Don Cherry's bombastic style, but the core of his message is legit. It was disrespectful of Crosby to showboat when his team was winning 5-0 and he was acting in an unsportsmanlike manner. Plain and simple.
TexSen said:So let's get this straight.
One week Cherry and the rest of hockey fans are *****ing about the lack of creativity in the game today, the next we're lamenting a 16 year old kid that scored a goal the way that as far as anyone on this board can remember was only done one other time that has been caught on camera?
No one is lamenting "the kid." And, creativity is great. Creativity at the expense of respect is not.
No wonder the NHL is in such a sorry state.
Sorry you find the pro game to be so poor. If one's idea of an "improved league" is showing up an opponent with an ill-timed, self-aggrandizing move, sorry again. Give us more slam dunks, more styling for the camera and the "ESPNization" of the NHL! That's progress!
I can just picture two years from now some career AHL PIMS leader called up to the NHL for a game or two: "Damn, that Crosby kid sure is good. Don Cherry doesn't like him showing off his skills and neither do I. I think I'll end his career. That'll teach him for training so hard to be the best player in the NHL."
Pulling off a gimmick play usually reserved for practice is indicative of a player "training so hard to be the best player in the NHL."? By the way, don't worry. Won't have to wait two years. Play as you wish, but expect retribution. That's the way the game has always has been played and always will be. Even for the latest and greatest prodigal son.
(Don Cherry): "Served the kid right for putting a hat-trick on the board when the Penguins were up four goals already."
Fascinating. Sixteen-year old kid is tearing up the Q and suddenly he's having four goal games in the NHL. Easy as that! :p
Scarface said:Anyone have the link to this "goal" by Crosby????
I haven't even seen it yet.
SopelFan said:Crosby is a showboater. He better get a Semenko in the NHL.
