I do believe.
The controversy was started when he referred to some ex goons in the NHL as wimps for wanting there to be less fighting/no fighting in the game.
I know he is not the darling of the chattering classes, heck when I worked on CBC's Living In Ottawa the dislike of him inside the building was palpable. He is the biggest star in English Canada and that is part of why he is hated by those folks.
Saturday, I believe, will be a beauty. The coach [and by the way he pretty much sucked as a coach; put it this way, he was no Bryan Murray] was lit into this week by The Montreal Gazette's Jack Todd who suggested that the due date for Don Cherry on Hockey Night In Canada was well past. It is germane to point out that Mr. Todd made his way to Our Home And Native Land in the sixties when he deserted the United States Army a couple of days before Christmas and hitchhiked to Vancouver.
Hey, I am not hating on Mr. Todd for that. In fact I think it took a lot of courage to decide that he wasn't going to go to Vietnam. 100,000 other men were also stationed in Canada.
But...
Being a deserter and not running away from that designation puts a target on Mr. Todd's back. Time will tell if the bi-jingoistic Don Cherry shoots at that target.
Me thinks he will.
PVR, TIVO and VCR all good to go.
