“A rant that was moronic even by his own gravel-brained standards,” is how the Montreal Gazette’s Jack Todd viewed Saturday’s edition of Don Cherry’s “Coach’s Corner”.

Earlier this week in Coach’s Corner, Don Cherry took a pro-fighting stance in the age of Brendan Shanahan attempting to clean up the game.

That was directed at three former NHL enforcers who have either turned the other cheek in their retirement years, or are hypocrites. Cherry suggested...

Every few months, there's a hysterical "this time he's gone TOO FAR!" outcry over something CBC curmudgeon Don Cherry blurts out on "Coach's Corner." This time, it was Cherry's rant last week about former hockey fighters who now question fighting's place in the game:
"But the ones that I am really disgusted with -- and I hate to say this...

Hockey guru Don Cherry picked out a real winner of a suit for the official return of hockey to Winnipeg as the Jets hosted the Montreal Canadiens. And in doing so it would appear he may have sent a message to Craig Seger.
While hockey might not get the attention that the NBA does, Don Cherry is an original. He’s been wearing these weird suits for a very long time. And...

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star, Boys, boys, boys. Let’s all grow up here.
Lots of name-calling going on between Don Cherry and a group of former NHL enforcers these days, but not a whole lot being said, at least not much more than the kind of insults and taunts you might hear in a schoolyard.

TORONTO (Oct. 10) - I'm not sure why I still find myself surprised over the emotions generated by Don Cherry and Ron MacLean in their weekly appearance on Hockey Night In Canada - a television phenomenon, by the way, that will not be matched in most of our lifetimes. May God be with the person (or persons) that ultimately assumes ownership of that time-slot on Saturday nights...
