Don Cherry is awesome! I look forward to only one intermission a week.
Does anyone really care what Don Cherry has to say?
Thank god, he undid the kiss of death from last year.
I love how Kadri responds to criticism, hopefully he comes out blazing when he gets back. Like others said, I like how it represents how he's not a perimeter player and go to the dirty areas but the hit was totally unnecessary and excessive.
Obviously, Kadri needs to smarten up. And one hopes that he immediately realized it on his own. If he didn't, one would assume that Randy pointed it out to him. If, however, he needed Cherry telling him, then perhaps Kadri is too much of an idiot to have on this team.
I will never understand why people put much weight in what Don Cherry has to say. He was an OK coach in the 70s, but he hasn't been wanted as an NHL coach for over 30 years. When no one wanted him as a coach, he got a chance to do the HNIC thing. But even that wasn't going well until he started to act like an idiot. At best, he's a clown. At worse, he's an ignorant, xenophobic, loud mouth who shouldn't be polluting the nation's airwaves.
Cherry was right about everything about Kadri-
Kadri needs to smarten up out there, he can't be bolldozing over goalies or head-shotting players, not only because its dirty and ratlike behaviour but because Kadri is a key part of this team and he needs to be in the lineup not being suspended for his antics.
The other thing Cherry was right about was Kadri had a chance to show to Randy he could be that 1C and he blew it, the fact Carlyle went with JVR over Kadri as the top C when Bozak went down is very telling. Kadri needs to learn that when you are given an opportunity that you better make the most of it, and Kadri has a history of not showing up when it matters (case in point the final 1/3 of last season, and the playoffs). No denying he's skilled and no denying he isn't capable of being a top line player he just has to show he can do it long term, the jury is still out on him IMO.
If you go hard to the net things like that will happen. Good to see he's not just a perimeter player.

<------- And the fact that if the goalie was inside the blue instead of outside it, the impact may have been different, I don't believe it warranted any kind of suspension, first offense and the fact the goalie was out of his crease, let alone a 3 game.
we all watch Coach Corner...

LOL, and you say you don't have a vendetta against the kid?
Kadri was removed from the top line once Bolland went down. I don't suppose you have ever heard the concept of "spreading the offense around"? Kadri had 5 points in the 4 games he played between JVR and Kessel and the Leafs went 3-1-0 in those games. In what world is that a failure?
Kadri had a rough 10-15 games to end last season, and the world is ending? In the playoffs he had 4 points in 7 games, including a two-point effort in Game 7. But yeah, he doesn't show up when it counts, right?
I don't have a grudge against the guy, I actually think he has loads of potential and he reminds me a lot of my idol Gilmour. My issue with Kadri is while he has potential he has yet to substain or prove it so far, he was on pace last year to net 90 plus points but he went ice cold down the stretch and had a meh playoffs (granted it was his first time at the dance).
You're the biggest troll on here I swear. Whether it's defending long-drawn out pre-game ceremonies or denying a great hockey mind that is Cherry's.
Kadri was appointed to the top line when Bozak went down (not sure if Bozak was injured before or after Bolland), he was replaced by JVR. I'm all for spreading the offence around and rolling 2-3 lines but Kadri was given the oppurtunity to play on the top line and clearly he didn't do good enough to stick otherwise he'd still be there.
