Don Cherry & the Coach's Corner | 2017/2018 Playoffs Edition

[LarryO]

Don's a good guy. Bat**** crazy compared to today's social standards, but his heart is in the right place nonetheless.

True. Tonight's segment choked me up a bit.

Here’s the link for the gofundme that was set up for his sister. I got the link in an email from Sherry Robinson, the owner of the spa where his mom worked.

Sharks' Evander Kane responds to criticism from Don Cherry

Sharks say Don is full of shit

He should have a segment where you can call in and challenge him on his stuff he has said over the years. Him ranting on the leafs for drafting nylander over Ritchie comes to mind. His time when he owned the icedogs how they were such a mess.

Cherry is way too much of a coward for that. Coach's Corner is his safe space where he can bloviate basically unchallenged.

I don't think you know Cherry very well, he's loud obnoxious, sometimes irrational, but usually right, but he's no coward.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I still don't understand the usual's that just come in the thread to cry about Cherry. The fact anybody takes him seriously enough to actually be upset by anything he says is absolutely hilarious. Like if you don't like him....Crazy idea, maybe stop watching him.

It's a tragedy that this thread could not be focused on discussing the topics that Cherry speaks about on the show. I guess some folk just need to belittle others to make themselves feel good.

He's absolutely a coward (and very rarely ever right). A TV tough guy who never puts himself in a position where he might actually be challenged in an uncomfortable way that would expose his buffoonery and simplistic, ignorant, and outdated views.

Yet you know so MUCH about him and slam him from behind the sanctity of your computer. My oh my you are so courageous. In your opinion is this how cultured and sophisticated people act towards others? Share your 'wisdom' and let us know.

"What did you do at work today sweetie?"

"Oh I defended Don Cherry on hf boards"

Or defended the right for people to speak their mind.

Keep on whining about an elderly gentleman who laughs his bum off at geniuses who are so uptight that they get all bent out of shape hearing an entertainer do his job.

How many times have some of you been ridiculed and embarrassed while heckling a comedian?

LOL

Don Cherry has not had anything wortwhile to say for a decade or more. It's elder abuse to keep him on tv at this point.

Why do you pay any attention to him or even comment on him then? There are guys I dislike and I ignore them completely and don't complain about them for the sake of it. I'm sure your criticism isn't doing anything constructive.

I like his segment and find it entertaining just let's be honest and not pretend like he has anything valid to say at this point.

 

[Cotton]

I like his segment and find it entertaining just let's be honest and not pretend like he has anything valid to say at this point.

But he does, nearly every video clip shown on his segment is to highlight a to do, or not to do for kids/young players.

Other than that he shares his own opinion on topics just as you and I do on this site, except people actually care what he has to say. You seem to be trying to invalidate him because or his age, or because your views differ from his, which makes you wrong.

Has nothing to do with his age. Where did I say it did? It's because he has no idea what he is talking about. His views on hockey were badly aged 10 years ago let alone today. Don't even get started on his views for society which were aged 40 years ago let alone today. Either way you slice it he is entertaining in the same way Alex Jones is.

I don’t know who Alex Jones is.

Idk, I don’t see anything wrong with what he’s doing. And he has enough of a following to justify the cheque he receives to do it. If you can cite specific things he’s said that you are so against that might be more helpful in illustrating what it is i’m not getting about him that’s outdated, wrong and or offensive.

Idk how to cite an entire decade of nonsese so I won't bother. But start with the times he was jerking off the Iraq War.

Well if you find it entertaining enjoy it and maybe speak about the good you find in it rather then harp on the negatives? Just a thought.

Yes, it is a good description of that decrepit old moron. Glad you think so.

Why do you care so much about him? Like I am honestly curious. I just do not get why anyone gets so emotionally invested in Don Cherry Don't take yourself so seriously and if you don't like him that much change the channel when he comes on. That shockingly is what most people do when things they hate come on their TV.

What scenario could he put himself in that he could be challenged in an uncomfortable way? Giving in to your dream of beating up an old man?
