seems they are chasing singling out the latest version of "you people"

what I found so ridiculous was getting rid of Cherry for that, he had done and said far far worse previously.

this isn't cancel culture... its "idiot who has too much time on their hands culture"

it was (by my opinion) long past Cherry's best before date but this overblown reaction about literally every miniscule misuse of terminology, or perhaps not using the expression of the "latest week" is quite frankly boring.


that said, I'm all for getting rid of MacLean... his time has past as well. I find him boring personally, and there's entirely too much "societal discussion" on a sports program.

Flagged 😔

I'm well aware. Changes nothing... that reaction for his "transgression" was overblown... he should have been gone long before that.

Same nonsense with RonM now.

If he should have been gone "long before", how was giving him the boot for yet another transgression overblown? It had to be done. That just happened to be the one they pulled the trigger on.

Cherry had to go. It was time.

Agreed.

His re-direct that went in for a goal? Yeah, saw that.

I meant his earlier attempt (might have been previous game) where he was 10 feet from the net, a rebound landed in front of him, and he sent it up into the glass. No idea how a professional can miss the net from that distance. It's not like it rang the crossbar. He missed by a LOT.

Yeah I know, what I'm saying is don't expect much from Thornton in the way of goal scoring in any case.

Yes.
He was quite fair though - he didn't like any of the foreigners - Czechs, Russians or the Quebecois frenchies, he hated them all alike
What was still ok about him - at least 70% of the time he was talking hockey.
Too much non-hockey talk these days imo. Never mix up sports with politics.

I think what gets lost in all the talk about canning Cherry was the fact that he hadn't been entertaining for about five years.

I used to absolutely love Coach's Corner. I don't think I watched him for his last 5-8 years. He was a grumpy old man - same beefs every night, and each year he was becoming less and less coherent.

I'm glad they poop-canned him over something minor, because it allowed him to keep his legacy intact.

Because let's be honest - it was just a matter of time before he said something truly stupid.

Okay I'm fat and old but I'm buying this.

I'm surprised you liked Cherry. He went out of his way to say "Yawmy Yawger."

She still pops a wheelie without even knowing it. Big bore thumpers are great.
I won't own this new one for 40 years, mainly cause I'll be dead.
