Oh (frank) off




There, is that better?

John Tortorella only has a few weeks before he'll be available.

I'd rather see them go to a live call/tweet/message in format... with a moderator and perhaps a revolving cast of guests.

Not the talking head media doinks... rather an ex-GM(recent), an ex-coach(recent) or perhaps a couple of players.

let the fan base ask questions... "mostly" unfiltered...

I agree here totally. And esp on your last edit.

You get called a snowflake and poop like that, but its about time the ones who are sick of the poop stand up and put a stop to it or make your thoughts known instead of just ignoring the bigot or loud mouth.
- senstroll

Absolutely. IMO shrugging it off and not saying anything if it's not directly aimed at you is by far softer than slime (TM) than actually speaking out

yes yes yes

Leafs fans are mean these days Peter. Cold and mean and they will eat their own

Indeed my friend.

Maybe this vid will cheer up those sad mother(frank)ers

I have been going back and watching old Cherry clips, because for a long time I was cool with his shtick, until maybe 5 or so years ago maybe longer..the quality of his analysys really nose dive...But after watching the old clips, I think I was fine overlooking a lot of stuff because he wrapped everything in a pro-Canadian blanket.

But you can be pro Canadian and not put down others
- senstroll

absolutely... pro-Canadian and inclusive for sure.

for me personally, I think he began to lose it after/during the last strike/lockout time period (2013?)...

and has been (again for me) very incoherent at times recently.

I made a conscious choice to not watch CoachesCorner I believe during the 2018 playoffs... I was done based on Cherry's ridiculous ramblings about the Bruins and more so by MacLean "suddenly(then) deciding he wasn't going to talk about officiating anymore" ... because quite frankly there was no defense of that garbage.
but I digress.

there's no doubt plenty of examples of Cherry going too far in his commentary over the decades, but we can't equitably judge those things 20-30 years ago by the same interpretation of societal norms now... just as we can't condemn individuals for having a different view of racism or discrimination against women in the 60s than we have now... norms and what's acceptable and isn't have changed

for the same reason, we also have to cautious collectively that we aren't pushing the pendulum to far to fast... eventually it will swing back... normal ebb and flow

Or OJ

Youre right.

I didn’t make a conscious decision - I just lost interest.

I’m not comfortable with firing someone for making a mistake.

I am comfortable with removing Cherry before he further tarnishes his legacy.

Because that was coming.

- lumlums

I'm not clear hear... are you talking about "being called / labelled a snowflake" - and how that's a problem...
or talking about reacting to a real issue that raised?

definitely a case of the best before date having past...

that's where the networks have to own that they consistently made decision after decision to keep Cherry on the air ... for ratings.

it would great if they had the honest to say that they took him off for that same reason - and not because he offended someone (which he did)... but their decision was monetary for sure... otherwise, why would they bother to ask him apologize?

A bit of both, but the latter is obviously much more important to address.

- 21peter

oh hi

Draisaitl with 5 assists.


McDavid+Draisaitl > Lemieux+Jagr
- Steven_Seagull

McDavid vrs. Lemieux thats a good argument.

"soft swede"

The guy would rip on Zaitzev every week...If Zaitzev was Canadian Cherry would of loved the way he played.

- sabreadvocate1

It's crazy how good McDavid/Draisaitl are..

I know at the beginning of the year Tippett said he would put them on separate lines to balance the scoring, but they are so good together.

No.
Thats just bs.
No one loved the way he played.

Do you recall when Don Cherry ripped the Leafs for trading Wendel Clark to Quebec for Sundin?
