evilmrt 636 Report post Posted March 5, 2012 Kind of off topic but it has some lawls, the first 5 minutes at least. The last minute is very sad... God bless that family. Grandpa Don is getting a little old...but I think he has a point in the midst of his ranting. Tell me folks, if the Detroit metro area had a junior hockey league (like Toronto's GTHL) with 40,000 players in it, and the Wings never at least tried to get any of those guys (but other teams were loaded with them), we'd probably be a little miffed, yeah? I have no idea how many junior hockey players Ontario has, in total. Obviously a lot. And yeah, the last minute of that video...wow...thats so unbelievably sad...

Wing Across The Pond 196 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 Don Cherry's tombstone will read, "...AND ANOTHER THING!" Ron MacLean's will be blank. With coaches being fired like this it can only be motivational. In soccer over here Chelsea Football Club have just sacked their 5th head coach/manager in 5 years. If the players can play to a certain level but for some reason consistently don't, then you have to look elsewhere for the problem. A coaching change could do that. But I have to say, stick with a coach for a few years at least, let them settle and get a team working rather than jerking the knee. Also such a sad story at the end of that HNIC vid. For someone so young and small to have battled bravely for so long, only to be taken by sheer chance. So sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
