My previous blog I harped on Cherry, and after watching hockey night in canada tonight/saturday I find myself in the same spot.
After the Toronto/Pittsburgh game, Cherry ranted and cryed about Deavoux not fighting Godard when it was 4-1, cryed about Hagman mouthing off Crosby after Crosby checked him from behind and keep stick checking Hagman, then he finished it off by calling Deavoux a couple names for fighting Fedetenko.
Cherry actually said he was sick to his stomach from watching how Toronto played. Sick to his stomach?
Sick because Toronto laid a beat down on Bettmans poster boy and his team? Why would Deavoux fight Godard when Deavoux and the leafs are winning and have all the momentum? It just stupid hockey. When your team is in complete control why would you risk the momentum. Because of Deavoux choice, Godard got booted from the game. Sounds like smart hockey to me.
Sick because Deavoux fought back when Fedetenko attacked him? Fedetenko attacked him and Deavoux gave the refs time to interven and when they didn't it he made them step in.
I wont say much on the crosby thing because wish hagman did punch him in the face. Thats all

Thanks to the Sens game not being on TV i missed it, But a win is a win. Hats off to Smith for the GWG. And I'm glad to see Zubov staying with the Big club. I sure hope Hartsburg keeps the big 3 seperated, because its truely whats best.
Don Cherry made a point of how much the sens celebrated and that he thinks this was the win that'll turn around the season. I hope for once Cherry is right but a win over Dallas this season isn't that big of a deal.
I saw the Deveuax thing the same way. I think Cherry is wrong here!! Why risk a momentum changing fight with Godard?? Then Cherry says that he fought a Russian at the end of the game, but Fedatenko attacked him!! He clearly gave Fedatenko time to re-think his actions, but getting punched 3 times was enough!!
Don Cherry is three shows from being put in a home.
I always enjoyed DC but I have to say this year with the things coming out of his mouth i find him very frustrating to watch. I don't think he will be on the show much longer if he keeps his personal attacks up to the degree he has this year. It seems like he has turned into that cranky old guy you hate to run into.
i agree with you CunHell69 as well.
His beef was with Deveaux turning down Goddard and fighting someone who is NOT a fighter.. I usually can't stand grapes but I agree with him on this one. It was like when Chara pulled Levalcalier out of a pile to fight in Ottawa.. of all people he could have gone after he took Vinny.. Coward.
Vinny is a big boy and can hold is own, and Deveaux didnt want to fight ruslan until he was hit twice by ruslan, so not quite the same Pri$ey
