I was wondering when old Dump was gonna fire up the FIRE DON CHERRY THREAD.

I didn't restart this thread, but I agree its time to nuke Cherry. Rhymes with puke. He shows replays of Lindros getting a concussion, and says, "You'll never see hits like this again/" That seems good.

Get the psychopathic headhunters out of the game who have no respect for other people. And guys won't stop hitting, they will have to hit a bit more intelligently, and try to avoid the other guy's head, doesn't sound too hard. The games I saw last night had plenty of hitting. They guy's crankier than me.

You should learn to read and then consider changing your nick, because you pay more attention to running down aboriginals and Don Cherry than you do to Dumping the Monarchy.

How about Dumptheinjunsandcherry?

He's an embarrassment to the human race, he has a one track mind, for 20 years it was Bobby Orr and for the next 20 it was Dougie! :lol:

with him.

Seems pretty simple ... if you don't like him, don't watch him.

But if you watch him and complain about how idiotic he is, CBC is laughing all the way to the bank. One might wonder who is the actual idiot.

I don't watch him, haven't for years, got fed up with him long ago, i've got more intelligent
people to listen to, and yes, of course, its all about the money, isn't everything concerning
the entertainment business, he's got many sucked in, guess they like a good laugh.

His latest mouth troubles, I heard about on the radio.

I think he might be about to get a raise and more time for Coaches Corner on HNIC. lol Support The Troops!

WATERLOO—The Canadian forces’ best weapon may be Don Cherry and the particular brand of combat patriotism that he pushes on Hockey Night in Canada, according to a new study.

Don Cherry?s the face of Canada's new rock 'em, sock 'em politics: study - thestar.com

I wasn't a tanker or an artillery man... but that sure looks like the containers that they hold arty or tank rounds in.

he plays a part on a tv show, that's his job, do you really think anybody could be like that in real life? have you ever watched family guy? as far as fighting in hockey? well I love the game and it is part of the game. I am a bigger basketball fan and in resent years things have changed in the nba to the point that it has hurt the game one punch thrown can cost a team the championship, and has. If you want to clean up pro sports a bit focus on the refs, they need more of them we could make it so they could have a meeting every 2 min. for 5 min. to figure out what to call so everything could be perfect, oh don't stop there, we could clean the ice every minute and have body doubles for players. What about change the game all the way and have 3 or 4 downs every 10 yards? Just saying....

He does play a moron on tv.

he's also living in the past, and he's also misquoting other people, and can get himself into trouble,
he should think before he mentions others names, when calling names such as pukes and hypocrites.

those 3 players have come forward and have said that they did not say the things he accused them of
and they want him to apologize and set things straight.

the NHL must move forward to protect players from permanent brain damage, the game is faster than ever,
players bigger than ever, and the impact from hitting is heavier than ever, there must be an adjustment,
and also the fighting has to be dealt with, at least the 'staged' fighting, it is phony, I can understand
a fight breaking out as emotions get high in the middle of a play, that will not go away, and it isn't
usually caused by very large, fighting males, who are on the ice for that purpose only.

A few of those 'fighting' types even went to a fighting school in the off season to learn how to fight
better, so that they can compete in fights in the game, that has to stop.
The game is hockey, rough, fast competetive hockey, not hand to hand combat, or bare knuckle fighting.

And one player that said that he didn't say those things apparently did say those things.;)

Cherry can be a little abrasive from time to time, but I think he's entertaining to watch(and does bring across some good points).

Time for DC to look for new employment.
Dude!!! Do you have any idea how funny it is that you are here calling for Don's head, while you cry that the PC people are calling YOU names, because they supposedly don't like your message?

You should look up irony.

Why should Don be fired just because his opinion differs from yours?
Yep, that is exactly why.

One might wonder who is the actual idiot.
I don't wonder.

do you really think anybody could be like that in real life?
Yep. He isn't disingenuous like his detractors are.

have you ever watched family guy?
Are you really going to compare a real person and his showmanship/opinion to a cartoon?

He does play a moron on tv.
Beats playing one on the net.

I've always thought he was an idiot, and about twice every season he makes a good point.

He likes to see players hit hard and injured, that's his deal.

He was a lousy player, his restaurants suck, so he needs something to do. Let him have his thing, but stop paying attention to him. If I was one of the players quoted, I would have said, "Who? Don Cherry? That old player? He's still alive?"

I find him entertaining, full stop.

... :roll: ... Ya that's exactly what he wants.

He was a lousy player...
Don Cherry hockey statistics and profile at hockeydb.com

I bet it's better than yours.

...his restaurants suck...
They aren't his restaurants, he's licensed his name to the chain.

If I was one of the players quoted, I would have said, "Who? Don Cherry? That old player? He's still alive?"
Ya, they should employ the "Hey!!! Quick!!! Look over there>>>" deflection too. Instead of just answering the question honestly.

I'd say it's time people that don't want to see or hear him, stop torturing themselves and stop watching him. Pretty simple.

How is it possible an individual can become so hated while doing hockey commentary?

I ...

don't understand.
