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

[Doc McKenna]

Every episode can be summed up the same. This is Don Cherry and much of the NHLs take on suspensions. Credit to Down Goes Brown _sub MarchanD for pronger and its up to date.

I don't usually bother to watch him. Has he always been such a Melnyk fan?

 

[stampedingviking]

Back in the day big hits were considered hard hitting hockey and part of the game and most hockey fans loved it including myself. It was part of the intimidation factor and of knowing that you had to be careful when you were on the ice playing against guys like Stevens.

Not that I wish players get injured, but I do miss that aspect of hockey when it was grittier and dirtier and rivalries were much more passionate and heated than it is now when alot of what fueled and made great rivalries between teams has been drastically watered down or has disappeared.

You miss all the blatantly dirty hits and injuries?

No wonder you like Cherry

This is without a doubt one of the funniest hockey related things I've ever seen!!
I want to make a poster and hang it!
Thanks!

Yup. You missed the point. I'm glad your enjoying soccer on ice. It's not nearly the game it once was.

Soccer on ice? Oh, because soccer is the most popular sport in the world and hockey is the most popular sport on ice in the world. Unless that's figure skating.

You're right the game is much closer to figure skating then it is soccer, currently.

Agreed. While all three sports have goalies defending nets from game objects, soccer goalies retain an old school stand-up style while both hockey and figure skating goalies play a hybrid butterfly style aided by gains in equipment size and technology.

Waiting with bated breath, for Don Cherry's next concerto.....or is it con-cherr-to?

This made me giggle like a giddy little girl...

Let's go Don. Address the Nylander contract.

 

[Jussi]

"Kapanen or whatever his name is..." f*** you, Don. Re: the people of Finland.

 

[Jussi]

European thing to do to celebrate goals? f*** you again, Don.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

"ZaaaatsOFF and Kapanen - or whatever his name is"

 

[McRpro]

Love how Don rustles the jimmies of so many.

 

[the paisanos guy]

don't have fun guys this definitely isn't an entertainment product

Watching him criticize celebrations reminded me of when he criticized Hertl's 4 goal game against the Rangers. It's one thing to have class, but what the NHL needs is more personality and I think we're starting to see some. I say celebrate all you want. If the other team doesn't like it, than they shouldn't let you score. Now if you act like an asshole than that's one thing (Like going over to the opponents bench and showboating Happy Gilmore style or something), but looking at the clips from Matthews, he did nothing wrong. Also, that's Don Cherry criticizing players because of nationality again. We as a human race are so concerned with racism and nationalism I think we've forgotten the true nature of those words.

 

[Blowfish]

European thing to do to celebrate goals? **** you again, Don.

The game needs more celebrations enough with this old school crap Don. It's/you're getting old!!!!

Caps the nastiest team in the league?

I mean, I’ll spot you Tom Wilson (who’s suspended). But they’re big and physical but I wouldn’t say many are nasty

Yeah I was surprised by that comment too. Washington doesn't strike me as "Nasty". Maybe in the context of hard hitting, sure, but that's hockey.

Ovie looks kinda nasty in a not good way. Maybe he meant that?

 

[Canadian Finn]

He was giving a big compliment to Washington.

And the way they played Toronto, it was well deserved.

Definitely Toronto's physically toughest opponent so far.

[Howie Hodge]

Luv that bloody blazer.....

 

[Dr Pepper]

I swear, it's like he has zero self-awareness these days.

Those laughably high collars must be cutting off the blood flow to his brain.

Oh, I understand he was giving them a compliment in his own way.

They're a physical team, but I wouldn't say nasty is a good descriptor. Heck, they've got a few too many soft Euros for Cherry to really mean that.

Tom Wilson in the lineup does change things a bit, but this Caps roster isn't built to get nasty. I would say there are a few teams in their division who have as much grit (or more).
