European players that Cherry has given credit to?

[delled]

I just want a list of Euros that Cherry mentions as players he admires. I remember he enjoyed Kovalchuk and Bure for standing up for themselves, and his Radulov compliment today caught me off guard.

Any others he gives props to? Cherry is Pro-Canadian, but every now and then he gives props to players I never suspect he would give props to internationally, and I'm curious about the ones I've missed.

Honorary Torona boy, Cherry probably made him buy a house in Thunder Bay before he started giving him credit.

Its funny because Bure was the worst one, because it was an illegal elbow check if I remember correctly and I died of laughter because of all of the amazing wierd @#$# Bure pulled off in terms of scoring, Cherry admired him because of an elbow! Incredible!

Thomas steen back in the eighties. when he said that he would be the only swede that could play on his team.

 

[Dr Awesome]

Mr. Sundin

Alex Selivanov was the 'Russian who looks like a Canadian' so that's something.

 

[Warden of the North]

Douglas Murray.

Said somethig like "how does a swedish guy have a name like this?"

Did he really say that?

Why is it even allowed if he did?

I remember him raving about Kulemin on occasion... saying basically he did all the small things right was a Canadian born in Russia.

Tbf he does play like that!

He actually loved Kovalchuk before he burned him for going back to the KHL. Basically said he could do it all, score, throw big hits, fight. He gave him credit after knocking out Schenn, dropping them with Phanuef.

The thing he loved Kovy most for was going after Avery in the playoffs. He asked Avery to drop em and Avery coward and did his agitator thing. Cherry was all over that but I feel it was more intended to be a gut punch to Avery who had fired back at Cherry for criticism given on coaches corner.

Loved when Cherry gave Kovy credit for being a true leader. In his prime I dont see anyone being a more rounded guy than Kovy, could score 50, throw huge hits, kill penalties and he didnt pick numbers when going after someone to fight. He was as electrifying of a player we would ever see, speed to burn with an OV like shot.

If someone was going to praise an elbow for some reason, might as well praise pretty much the biggest elbow given in a hockey rink.

Did he really say that?

Because people clutching their pearls about something being said that they don't like isn't enough to ban people from making legal statements.

Has he said anything positive about W. Nylander, yet?

He said he needs to be more like Marner

Maclean basically forced him to say something good about him after the game last night.

Maclean basically forced him to say something good about him after the game last night.

Which ended up in him saying he needs to start blocking shots and be a good kid like Marner.

Who are the Europeans who don't think Cherry is a comic relief?

 

[underdog]

He always liked Bobby Holik when he was a Devil.

 

[Nylanders Flow]

Don has also compared Bure to Bobby Orr.

He's been plenty complimentary to Ovi too, despite the fact people only mention his celebration complaints.
