Well, nobody will ever accuse the CBC of ageism.
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.
You don't see how ironic your post was?
And you decide to double down with condescension?
I exchanged Cherry with HFBoards and left everything else intact, do you see the irony of what you're saying now?
It’s time to unpin this outdated thread.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.
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.
You're comparing pineapples to pears.

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.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.
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.
Well, nobody will ever accuse the CBC of ageism.
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.
Big of you to fess up. Proud of you for that but he missed it too.
Your post makes no sense.
Wow you got me
"One plus one is two".
"Your post makes no sense".
I hate smarmy oneliners like that. Give an argument if you have it.
But the poster you quoted is right about his persona.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.
