Looks like it’s talk back to the pompous CBC ass day.
Don Cherry, that idiot old fart of the archaic Hockey Night in Canada and hero to Conservatives, is getting his ass handed to him by ex NHL players.
The outspoken hockey personality singled out former players Stu Grimson, Chris Nilan, and Jim Thomson in a Coach’s Corner rant Thursday, calling them a “bunch of pukes” for allegedly publicly suggesting those who fight in the NHL are more likely to turn to substances.
“(They say) ‘Oh, the reason that they’re drinking, (taking) drugs and alcoholics is because they fight.’ You turncoats. You hypocrites,” an animated Cherry said during CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada game between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs.
“If there’s one thing I’m not, it’s a hypocrite,” continued Cherry, whose comments come after three former NHL players known for fighting died over the summer. “You guys were fighters, and now you don’t want guys to make the same living you did.”
In response to Cherry’s name-calling, retired forward Grimson said he thinks Cherry’s rant went too far.
“He’s edging ever closer to the line . . . and I think there will come a point when he steps over that line and CBC decides it’s time to shut the senile old uncle down,” said Grimson.
Expect a huge Sarah-Palin-woe-is-me-the-victim response from Cherry.
CBC liberal? Really?
