| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 11/17/2006 4:34:50 PM | ^^^ One gets the distinct feeling that many of those posting in this thread haven't even watched "Coach's Corner" in about 5 years!  | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 12/31/2006 2:45:32 PM | Remember Crunkeith is the same guy who said he wanted to see Ken Shamrock suffer brain damage. Now he wants to see Don Cherry dead.
But fighting in hockey is bad.
Dude........seriously.......... | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/1/2007 9:21:20 AM | | I personally don't like the guy - totally ashamed that he made the top ten greatest Canadian of all time. But I watch Coach's Corner just to be able to laugh. Between Cherry and MacLean, it's like watching a caricature come to life. They argue and shush each other, Cherry bullies his way so that he can say whatever it is he wants to say, etc... And every week, I laugh. Sometimes what he says is harsh - other times, he hits the nail on the head. (Although, not many people like to hear the truth...) He's the type of arrogant, pompous a$$ that you love to hate. | |

Ya, ya know I'm not sure women on a dating site would find it attractive for a guy to go around saying that he wants to see people get seriously injured or killed. Way to impress the ladies jr. | |

You guys totally went off topic, brought it back, and still. Nuthin.
Basically, Cherry, as a wealth of coaching info. Is dead already. He is simply, a mouthpiece. Just like the doods you see in the wwe. Or Mike the mouth Matesaw (poker). He is simply there to add some entertainment value, so you wont go a snackin in the intermission.
I would love to see Jim Hughson as the play by play guy all the time. Im kinda spoiled in that I get to hear him in the canuck broadcasts, he is very good at what he does, He won a gemini, an award show made by the cbc, for the cbc, when he worked at sportsnet! Thats praise, kinda like Samoa Joe winning a slammy! (hope you guys watch rasslin!) So cbc knew he was good, really good. I do find that Bob Cole is to home team bias in his PBP now, he has toned it down, and sometimes he gets the names mixed up, but us, as a society, dont wanna see him go, because we all fear change, its ok guys and gals, we shall all be fine. We survived the ending of "friends" we lived thru the "seinfeld" final episode together. We shall all realize that people come and go.
One poster had mentioned that the NHL is dying, I disagree, it will never die, although I dont watch the NFL, I certainly respect the way the league is run, and applaude the way they turned that ino the juggernaught that it is.
Cherry can stay, his run will fade as well, when he goes, Cole will to, and we will just have to accept, and watch.
I frickin hate Glen Healy, he is a total ahole! | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/2/2007 7:47:52 AM | I can't stand Jim Hughson's voice. I hope they keep sticking him with Canucks games so I DON'T have to listen to him.
Don Cherry is a dinosaur in the industry. That being said, he does make a lot of good points and at least he's not afraid to speak his mind when other people try to sugarcoat things.
My biggest beef with Coach's Corner is the endless eulegies to fallen soldiers. Let's keep things about HOCKEY. I don't care who died over in Afghanistan because I see it on regular news.
And for goodness sakes, enough with Bobby Orr. Just a *slight* built-in bias there having coached him in Boston...

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/3/2007 9:34:35 PM | | Oh man, I thought I was the only one who hated Jim Hughson's voice.. LOL.. He even does the NHL games for EA Sports.... YIKES!!!!!!!! | |
|
| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/5/2007 3:08:31 PM | i love don cherry...lol. i think he is great. he kinda an odd one, but that's what's so great about him.
somewhere...on: you say that don cherry had that gay obsession for "dougie". perhaps that was one of his favorite players. so say you put on your teams jersey with your favorite players last name on the back...should i call you a fag? | |
|
| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/5/2007 6:12:49 PM | whaddya mean, Jim Hughson is good!
He actually knows the players names, oh well, thats off topic, this is bout cherry
Im not sayin Cherry is a "fag" I think people were referring to the Dougie this, and Bobby Orr that, I think Cherry is the prez of their fan clubs!!!!
other than that, he is just an entertainer now. | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/5/2007 10:36:07 PM | One important fact about Don Cherry When he talks, what do you normally hear him saying " Hey KIDS !!! don't try this or that " You show me someone else who still knows this is a game for the kids ?? Yeah sure at times he rants and yacks about nothing important but at times his teaching for the kids can't be beat. It's been like close to 45 years in hockey and 25 with CBC alone Nothing beats it when he is told he has 30 seconds left or when he has to remind Maclean what the name of the show is lol | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/5/2007 11:56:50 PM | I'm not gonna say my part about Don Cherry as if i watch him every week on coaches corner because I don't. I have seen him often enough and yes while he does seem somewhat opinionated I do believe alot of that is for the sake of the fans and viewers. If he wasn't the way he is, coaches corner would be boring.
As far as him not talking about hockey. I did watch one night not too long ago where they spent quite sometime showing pictures and names of our Canadian Troops. How many of you out there shooting him down have taken the time to respect and thank the troops like he has???Honestly?? Damn right they deserve that recognition. They aren't going home to their families every night!!!!
I have been fortunate enough to meet him on several occassions as he was a regular at Shoppers Drug Mart where I used to work.
While many of you are knocking him down you should know that when I approached him and asked him for a signed picture for my brother who was dying of cancer, not only did he give me one. He took me to his car and gave me everything that he could. Duffle bags, hats, magazine covers, pictures. Whatever he had!!!
He took the time out and asked me lots of questions and was sincere with his condolences for someone he had never even met!! Unfortunately it was a very short time after that my brother was taken from us. Shortly after that Don was in our store again and took the time to come and find me and ask me how he was?
I don't normally voice my opinion on topics I'm not too familiar with but in this case I felt an injustice was being served........ | |

That was on rememberance day. I can accept that. I just take issue with him showing photos of dead troops during all the other shows. His show is about hockey, and he can talk about any issue within that realm. When he starts getting into his pro war "ra ra ra" mode and spending the entire intermission talking about dead soldiers, that's best left to CBC National News.

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/6/2007 2:57:45 PM | Don's act is getting tiresome, his " okay kids, this is what you do, don't drop your head, and give him the elbow while he is going into the boards, k kids??" is an attempt to make his segment wholesome for the family. He does his rockem sockem videos with the fighting, then comes back with..." K kids..." kind of a contradiction.
if Don Cherry Goes, the Stock in Polyester will drop, Looney toons ties will all of a sudden lose popularity??? ( does anyone wear them anymore??) Who will they replace him with???? Tie dummie??? (no comment) Al Bundy?? ( wrong sport) The Hansens ( they disappeared on their last visit to Disney world) William Shatner ( ahh ya )
Ron Maclean will be forced to talk to the Teleprompter....or with CBC cutbacks....the teleprompter is now an etch a sketch.
its gettin complicated, need rest...must think.....life without Don cherry on A sat night...hmmmmm....what was that like??????? GET RID OF DON, BRING BACK SHOWDOWN!!!!!!!!! | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/7/2007 7:46:03 AM | | I am a die hard Leafs fan but can't stand Don Cherry. He dresses like an idiot and his personaility is even worse. That boy got owned. | |

| Don Cherry must go ! ! ! Posted: 1/7/2007 5:36:21 PM | Do you blame him, the Leafs suck...
An what, just because the show his based out in the East you think he has to cheer for the Maple Laughs... give me a break, another example of the world revolving around Toronto...
The guy brings color to commentary, he says what's on his mind... even if it upsets those who bleed blue...
He is a proud Canadian, he always spot lights out youth coming up, whether it be the Junior nation team, our shame full Olympic team, or giving pointers out there to kids who are playing minor hockey... he goes much further than hockey, with all the charities he helps with...
So yes, boo hoo that the Maple Sucks did not get some lime light... must suck though, traffic being more if an interesting topic that the Leafs... | |
