Don Cherry is a card love him or hate him, I'll just say that, but there is a reason you shouldn't mic up people for a playoff game on a nationally televised broadcast, Perry should have been smart enough to not say that when he knew the mic was there too, but whatever.
Reguardless of why he said it, trying to look hard on TV or if he was going to say it anyway.... you, I , and everyone else knows that was some of the more G rated stuff said out there and I'm SURE they all say much, much, worse. I don't think he meant they were going to come at them with cheap shots, just come at them hard.
