Don Cherry & the Coach's Corner | 2018/2019

[Saintb]

Well, nobody will ever accuse the CBC of ageism.

Well, nobody will ever accuse the CBC of ageism.

Except for them forcing out Bob Cole?

No way bob is worse at his job than don.

A thread on Cherry is necessarily a paean to him ?

Isn't this a discussion board ?

You might not realize how ironic your post is.

[Iapyi]

You don't see how ironic your post was?

And you decide to double down with condescension?

I doubt you comprehend the irony of your post.

 

[Iapyi]

I exchanged Cherry with HFBoards and left everything else intact, do you see the irony of what you're saying now?

You're comparing pineapples to pears.

 

[Iapyi]

It’s time to unpin this outdated thread. Don Cherry is about as relevant to hockey as wooden sticks, racism and amphetamines.

Oh... never mind.

Try to keep up.

Don should have a fact checker before he goes on the air (unless he's got presidential ambitions).

He claimed that Boston had to fly back and forth between LA and Boston while Montréal had it easy against Toronto.

He's obviously talking about the 1976, 1977, 1978 or 1979 playoffs.

In 1976, while they played against LA in the 1st round, Montréal played against Chicago, and the Bruins lost in the 2nd round against the Flyers.

In 1977, they again played against LA, but Montréal played against St- Louis.

In the 2nd round, they played against the Flyers while Montréal played against the Islanders.

In 1978, Montréal did sweep Toronto in the 2nd round, after playing against Detroit in the 1st round. In the meantime, Boston played against Chicago and the Flyers before meeting Montréal.

In 1979, They did meet in the 2nd round after Montréal had swept the Leafs, but Boston had played the 1st round against the Penguins (a sweep), not against LA.

Nice try, however, to play the "we were tired" card.

It also can't be true because there is no way Don Cherry and a Don Cherry-approved roster of good Canadian boys and a couple honorary Canadian boys (look at the Bruins rosters those years, like 95+% Canadian players) who play the game the right way in every way would ever get tired. You're always brimming with energy ready to take on any jerk Russian or American, or at least put up a good fight against fellow Canadian good boys (like Cherry's Bruins DIDN'T do vs the Habs) if you're living that clean Don Cherry life.

You're comparing pineapples to pears.

Uh, how exactly? You have issues with people talking about stuff they dislike when they can just ignore it, yet you're talking about stuff you dislike instead of just ignoring it.

And by the way, no one's saying you can't like or defend Cherry, but don't make up this phony high horse principle that you can't even follow yourself.

 

[Jussi]

"You used to listen"

 

[Uncle]

holy man is he ever losing it? its been a while for me personally and I know its been a running joke but that was extremely difficult to listen to!?

 

[Absolut]

How's Don feeling about Ovechkin's Richard and Kucherov's Art Ross? Has he come up with enough explanations why neither is REALLY the winner?

This iight be a very controversial comment but..I still like wood sticks

 

[Jussi]

Which series will they have the CC on?

Archaic artifact from an ignorant, xenophobic time. Propagating a cold war, front of the bus mentality that is somehow acceptable based on his senility and historic association with the game. Based on being in my 30s, I should be fully impacted by a childhood affection but I instead despise his cockroach-like longevity.

I probably can't dissuade a sticky centred around praising a man that is feces made flesh, but seeing it any time I load up "General Discussion" finally goaded me into this post.

Don's forgotten more about hockey than you or just about anyone on these boards will ever know. And people talking about him being an awful person are beyond ridiculous, in real life he is an amazing person who has done so much good for his country through his charitable efforts.

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Whaaaa.

Mommy there is an entertainer on the television and I don't like him!

I am not being forced to watch but I don't have the wherewithal and maturity level to control myself and I'm going to be a negative person and complain and act like a baby about it.

Completely missed the point but your type often does.

Somebody missed the point, wasn’t him though.

Big of you to fess up. Proud of you for that but he missed it too.

Nope. He'll probably have that gig til he croaks.

Donnie likes his soapbox.

Your post makes no sense.

Wow you got me

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Your post makes no sense.

"One plus one is two".

"Your post makes no sense".

I hate smarmy oneliners like that. Give an argument if you have it.

It wasn't hard.

No one cares what you like or don't like.

 

[JaegerDice]

The man’s brain simply doesnt work.

Wheeling him out there, barely coherent, to verbally vomit all over himself is starting to feel a bit like exploitation of the elderly.

But the poster you quoted is right about his persona.

You might be right about who he really is, but it's not the image he projects.
