Thread: Any Hockey Fans Out There????

To me he seemed like a buffoonish curmudgeon, sort of an Archie Bunker of hockey.

That's what was so funny about the " bunch of jerks" comment. There he was being this grumpy old codger calling them jerks for something everyone else seemed to like and they turned it into a nickname.

I sort of miss him. He was kind of cartoonish like Yosemite Sam

Exactly. That's all I meant with my earlier post.

Oh, I got your drift. I mean, how could you take that guy seriously, at least in the last few years?

There's even a Best of Don Cherry on you tube - ridiculous stuff.

The Canadiens had a huge pool of talent to pick from...in the old days.....Not so much today...as they haven’t sniffed a cup in 27 YEARS.

93 was the last cup for a Canadian team. Shame since hockey was invented by Canada

That is up for debate. Could be that the modern version of ice hockey got it's start in Canada.

That just may point to the possibility that the expanded NHL has a diluted talent pool even though there are still some spectacular individual players. It's leveled the playing field by handicapping every team equally.
