Tons of Canadians reading this All-American sports blog have previously praised Don Cherry's legendary performances on Hockey Night in Canada, and I have to admit — just this once — they weren't drinking too much Moosehead at the time. Cherry's addition to the NBC studio crew is a huge shot in the arm for the NHL — hell, I found myself actually kind of caring about hockey by the end of this clip from Mac Gs World. And pretty much all Cherry had to do was talk about how awesome fighting is and how much Gary Bettman is a retard (both true).
Also true: I don't like the word hero, but I can't really argue with people who call me that.

Grapes is nuts.
Don Cherry rules. He was at the Twins-Angels game last night as a guest of Justin Morneau and he joined the Twins broadcasting team in the booth. The guy is simply awesome.
Oh sure, he's no Bill Maas, but few announcers are of that caliber.
I cant get back into hockey until Bill Wirtz dies.
don cherry is a legend. his don cherry's grapevine was great and his rock'em sock'em hockey tapes, not to mention his dog blue.
to quote the pensblog, brett hull looks like he swallowed a gallon of diarrhea about 1.3 seconds after Grapes gets him on the infamous no-goal.
Don Cherry, just what a solid human being. He took out the NHL, NBC, American fans and Brett Hull to task in just a few moments notice.
He's right Sweden is full of hot women.
I like his CGI head. He's a snappy dresser. too. I make my kids dress like that. Hold on, i don't have any kids. Whose kids are they? "Hey come back here you brats. Give me those fucking clothes back!"
He's no Bill Walton though.
Fucking Colonel Sanders knows what he's talking about. Fighting is the best part of hockey. I can't even fight let alone skate. Then again when your packing about 11 inches it doesn't really matter. Now all I need is
18.5 inches!Brett Hull can suck a fucking dick.*
*Metaphorically, we all know that he already actually sucks on cocks.
Maybe they could save hockey by helping us dumb Americans out by using complex graphics to help us follow the puck… maybe with a neat trail when they shoot it? They did? Uh, maybe if they got rid of the two-line pass and amended the icing calls? Really? Maybe if they wildly expanded the league to include cities that have never seen snow? Damn. I know! Ice Girls!
Hockey is as dead as Barbaro, Rock Hudson, and Ufford's 15 minutes of fame combined.
Funny how Brett Hull has to bring up his record of 86 goals.
Yet later, Hull sounds like someone shot him when Grapes took him to task for his non-goal against Buffalo in '99.
Just for that, and his loud suits, Grapes is my hero.
i think all sabre fans agree that hull will always suck a fat dick.
@ weed against speed
He's no Kevin Maas either.
I swear there was a minute there when it looked like Hull was going to pull his nose out of Cherrys ass and crawl under the desk to give Grapes his best Lewinsky.
Most awkward hand pound ever.
i didnt know Col. Sanders took time out from making fried chicken to do hockey commentary.
That's not a loud suit for Grapes.
i want to see cherry beat the shit out of hull.
The face of Col. Sanders and the wardrobe of Henry Hill.
Now that I think about it, after watching a few videos on YouTube, Grapes should be mandatory viewing for anyone who wants to learn about hockey.
Between his hatred of Swedes (they never go in the corners) and Jagr, as well as his explanation of terms (dangle), there's a lot you can learn from the man.
Thanks for reminding me why I spend many nights drunk watching his Rock 'Em Sock 'Em videos, with a friend of mine, laughing our asses off.
289: did you have an Eric Wynalda moment there?
Who doesn't hate Jagr though? I think it's in the Constitution. OF THE WORLD.
"I cant get back into hockey until Bill Wirtz dies."
There will be dancing in the streets of Chicago when that money grubbing douche bag kicks the bucket. I recently saw a salary list for the Hawks and while Khabiboulin and Havlat each made 6 million, every other guy on the team was making about $400,000 which is damn near league minimum.
Oh…fuck Bob Pulford, too.
any player that tucks his sweater into his pants is fucking gay……..all other Jagr issues aside…..
Colonel Sanders wants fighting in hockey so by god it needs to happen!
Putting Mr. Ufford's 15 minutes of fame in the same sentence as hockey, Barbaro and Rock Hudson? Ouch, that's a Cherry groin-kicker.
