cupforwings 138 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 that guy has serious personality issues. His Elton John wardrobe shows his constant need for attention while his hate for europeans shows his ignorance as a human being. He is just mad that Lidstrom is an ACTUAL important person in hockey history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWings Gone Wild 6 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) And yet he has as many Jack Adams awards as Scotty Bowman. No he doesn't. He has 1 (75-76), and Bowman has 2 (76-77, 95-96)... but Bowman doesn't have more because he always had good teams (except in Buffalo), and they usually only give the award to overachieving coaches.... hence why only 3 coaches have won cups the year they won the Jack Adams award (Bowman being one of those coaches).

I almost looked that up because I was thinking the same thing... obviously I should have taken the time But yes, it illustrates how the Adams rarely actually goes to the best coaches.

Sok, I did a few double takes when I looked it up, because you're usually spot on with your hockey knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 No, he's an entertainer who plays a sometimes unlikable role. This is the same excuse people spew when defending Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. "Oh no, they're not full of hate and latent racism. They're entertainers. Don't you see? They're entertaining people!" Mickey Mouse is an entertainer. Hell, Chuck E. Cheese is an entertainer. Those two are walking turds. I'm sure Don Cherry does lots of great things, but his views and opinions on Europeans are borderline xenophobic, if not slightly over that line and that makes him an *******.

Kwame_Kilpatrick 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 what a wanker cherry is, thinks he is brilliant sticking up for canada, no one is even trying to start a fight. canadian nationalism gimme a break. anyway lidstrom doesnt play an agressive or physical gam he plays the best kind of game, a mental game, that is why lidstrom beat phaneuf in the most important defense statistic: plus/minus. also dont be fooled by lidstroms low hits number, usually he just casually will tie up someones stick and end the attack. also he is a better passer than phaneuf and more clutch. also do you think phaneuf will be this good when he is 40? he will probably be watching the game from a pub in alberta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 Tonight, Don Cherry was talking about Phaneuf, and brought up the Norris Trophy run 2 years ago. He started comparing him to the winner of it (Lidstrom, of course), said something like "I don't even wanna say his name, you know who i'm talking about", then he goes on to compare them by goals (10 to 17 in favor of Phaneuf), hits (20-some to 100-some, Phaneuf), fights (10-0, Phaneuf), and blocked shots (such a big lead he didn't even have to say, Phaneuf). Of course, he neglects to mention the stats that Lidstrom beat Phaneuf in, assists, points, and Plus-Minus (which was 40-12, Lidstrom). I don't know why I keep watching that guy, but I just had to vent this. So, who else thinks the Norris should be won by the D-man with the most fights and hits? Because we could give a pep talk to Ericsson and start a website supporting him to make a run for it. Hell, let's convince Pain Train to risk his life to win one. Cherry always will have a pro-bias for Canadian players and almost always a negative bias for overseas players. I just view him as entertainment and don't really take anything seriously that he says. This is just another predicatble example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfy 695 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 Talk to Cherry about this last World Juniors, see how much of his "class" shines through. I can see why people are mad about Cherrys recent comments but remind me again what was so wrong about him saying at the world juniors? All he said was Canadian development is better then the states still because our best 19 year olds are in the NHL while USA has their best playing for them. Nothing classless about that?

adubs 8 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) Phaneuf is going to win the Norris now that he is in the center of the universe. It disgusts me that three games after being traded Phaneuf has gone from being an overpaid and overrated defensemen to being one of the best in the NHL. Same with Keith Aulie, a week ago it seemed like only the most knowledgable of Flames fans knew who the guy was but now he is hyped up to be the next Tyler Myers. Don Cherry talks of how Phaneuf has improved his game since being shipped to Toronto. He is playing the exact same way as he did in Calgary. I hate Toronto. I can see why people are mad about Cherrys recent comments but remind me again what was so wrong about him saying at the world juniors? All he said was Canadian development is better then the states still because our best 19 year olds are in the NHL while USA has their best playing for them. Nothing classless about that? He was also making a point that a lot of the top U.S. prospects are playing in the CHL. Edited February 7, 2010 by adubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's OK that he talks out of his ass and trashes non-Canadians right and left because he HELPS people! It just goes to show you can be an ******* and a "good person" at the same time. And I think Cherry passes himself off more as a hockey expert than an entertainer. He's not working the crowd like a pro wrestler, he's just ignorant when it comes to certain things. That said, I do think he's entertaining, but not in the right kind of way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blues_demitra38 11 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 I know it's not popular here to take anyone side but Lidstrom's but it's not as if Cherry has no argument. A lot of people, not just Don, feel that Phaneuf was deserving of the Norris. What's wrong with stating your opinion? Cherry prefers, and has always preferred, the physical player to the finesse player. People calling him a moron for stating his opinion, which is not that far-fetched, are simply jealous and insecure. Grow up and entertain the thought that Lidstrom does have competition around the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People calling him a moron for stating his opinion, which is not that far-fetched, are simply jealous and insecure. Grow up and entertain the thought that Lidstrom does have competition around the league. I have said it before. American's shouldn't watch Coach's Corner. Most of you guys take everything he says to heart and then come on here to bash him. I think that is why some people continue to watch, just so there is a new Cherry thread every week. They must have missed the segments where Cherry has praised Lidstrom and other Euros on the Wing's for their amazing play. Every friggin' show we get in Canada is American based for the most part and this is one that is truly our own. Hockey Night in Canada and Coach's Corner should not have to change their broadcast to make American's feel better and try not to hurt feelings. Sorry guys Cherry will say what he wants and as dumb as some of his comments are I like the way he is. All I'm saying is enough with the "Hey look what he said this week.." threads.
