Pansification?

Cherry's a moron. You know, at one time he was actually voted as one of the top ten Canadians of all time?

I know. Tough call eh, Tommy Douglas or Don Cherry...

A senile entertainer or arguably the greatest politician this country has even had. A real toss up.

Hockey is a good game, but I never bought into that Hockey is the true meaning of being Canadian crap. It's kind of embarrasing really. One of our teams loses an international tournament, and the sports pages proclaim a national tragedy, then the team apologizes to Canada for letting the country down. Gimme a fucking break.

What the hell is the true meaning of being Canadian then? I mean if you had to list five things surely hockey would on there....

I love Don. Coach's Corner is the best 6minutes and 50 seconds on television. And Millbury was stellar pick up for CBC. Perhaps the best addition to HNIC since Don was added in 1980.

Nothing wrong with Milbury. He's good, he has passion for the game. Beats the hell out of Kelly Hrudey IMO, who is boring at the best of times. And Cherry does know the game of Hockey, I'll give him that much.

I don't really get off on watching hockey fights. I enjoy a lot more the skill and speed of the game, and downright natural ability of certain players. I've never really been a 'team guy'. But there are fans, who tune in every game and wait and hope for those scraps and rivalries....so I guess it has a role for them, and the game.

What I would fear if they removed fighting, is that it is a slippery slope that would have the do gooder crowd looking where to cross the next line with it. And that it would eventually take away a big part of the game, which is the physical aspect as soon we'd be focusing more on hits etc etc.

The pansification thingy is ridiculous.

Don Cherry is like some sort of funny clown train accident. I get embarrassed as a Canadian watching him with some of the things he will say..while at the same time laughing.
