I really hope it was much more than that. That would be very unhealthy if you were using the normal chart for males his age. His body fat should be greater than 13% which would make him exceptionally lean. However I would want to carry body fat range a little higher at the start of the season for energy and endurance. Body fat is not a bad thing. Your body need fuel to burn when it is not processing food. Even if you eat a regimental diet 7 to 10 times per day your body will occassionally burn fat, because use and healing rates happen on the body's schedule not your meal plan.

15 to 22% would be good imo.

I wouldn't know but I'll take your word for it

I know. Thought the same thing. But he's married to Ingrid Kavelaars. And that's a picture of Ingrid. She's an actress.

Those are two contradictory things. Cherry can't defend the Leafs to his death if he's slamming the people who run the team. Do you understand yet?
- Two_For_Truth

Do I understand yet? Sometimes I do have a hard time understanding narrow opinion.

You have to remember that owners, managers, coaches, and players come and go. The only constant is change. But through all that chaos it's the crest that stays the same. You may worship the team but hate the current "instalment".

I don't think that's contradictory at all. That's just professional sports.

As a Canuck fan, you do have a grasp on this. As a Leafs fan, for 50 years, I have watched regimes come and go. Burke had some good idea's, when he came in, but did not assess his team correctly. By not doing so, he had the belief that he was a player away from the playoffs. Hence the Kessel deal, that set the team back 5 years. Sure, Kessel is a high end offensive talent, but as a team player, he's not much better than average. You need to have your best player and your 4th line player on the same page. This team has not been in that mode for 7 years. Burke's idea of not building through the draft was the main miscalculation.

I do believe that Burke has finally seen the light. The only question that needs to be asked: Will he revert back to trying to trade his way into the playoffs? From this end, I hope he doesn't.

I have been waiting a long time for you to make a non-trolling credible intelligent post on a Leaf thread....you just did

Dallas is a classy guy. If Kadri is putting his career at risk because he's a "picky eater", Eakins has the right to call it as he sees it. Here he does an awesome job of placing Cherry where he belongs by referring to him as an entertainer and then subtly making it known that if Cherry loves the Marlies' kids so much, he doesn't show it by stopping in to support them. This guy is smooth as they come.
- XxHarounXx

"Putting his career at risk"? Are you kidding me? The is a couple of percentage points above what they expected him to be at......big f'n deal.
Dallas should have kept his mouth shout and discussed it with Kadri behind closed doors.

Umm tell me exactly how did the kessel deal set the team back 5 years? They missed out on a quality Dman and good center, but picked up a young 30 + goal scorer.
So 5 years?
Dont be so dramatic.

Narrow opinion? Well, that pretty much summarizes a Canuck fan talking about Don Cherry.

Fact is, you said Don Cherry defends the Leafs to death. He doesn't. He says a lot of negative things about the team. If Cherry defended the Leafs to death, he wouldn't have had a massive feud with Burke. Or Wilson. Or Eakins. While he was "defending" Kadri, he took a shot at Kulemin. For years, he took shots at European and American players.

Don Cherry cheers for the Leafs but he doesn't defend them to death as you so incorrectly stated.

I think people also forget that he talks about the Leafs because they are usually the game they are covering when he comes on, the rare times they are doing the Sens when the Leafs are off they talk about the Sens.

He's going with the consensus of hockeybuzz..

How do you know he didnt?

How do you know he didnt do it last season?

For all we know, he could of said something to Kadri about it last season, telling him to cut a few pounds, ect ect.

Eakins could of said it to the media to snap Kadri back to reality. He wasnt listening behind closed doors, so maybe this got his attention.

The only thing Cherry will defend to death is Canada. Outside of that, I've heard him take shots at pretty much everybody out there. Except maybe the Bruins but that's because they've been an amazing team in recent years.

When Don Cherry starts saying things like "the Leafs are going to win the Cup this year" rather than "no wonder the Leafs ruin all their players", then the statement that Don Cherry defends the Leafs to death might have some merit.

In Ron Macleans book, called Cornered.

He talked about Cherry.

Cherry was once in Montreal, in the 90's, with Ron, and he refused to get into a taxi because it was made in Russia. He told Ron to call for another taxi..

His reasoning? Because " These people see me as the guy who loves Canada. I can't be seen in a Russian car, it will make me look bad" (Something along those lines).

It goes to show, that Cherry says things, and does things, just to play into his character..

Another story from that book, is Don Cherry was RIPPING on Dan Carcillo, calling him a rat and saying he's a no good player.

Next week, Cherry and Ron were walking past the dressing rooms, Carcillo, on the exercise bike, simply said "Hey Don, Ron, how's it going?"

From that point on, Cherry hasn't said a bad word about him.


Cherry isn't the type of guy to say he's wrong, and hates looking like a fool because of it.


He'll stick to his point, no matter if it's wrong. That's the type of person Cherry is.

He's always supported Kadri. If Kadri was a bust, didnt do ANYTHING, the first goal he scored with a new club, no matter how bad he was doing, Don Cherry would point it out and say something stupid like "Hey, they ya go, good ol' ontaria boy Kadri. Leafs made a mistake with that kid I tell ya"

Dramatic? Nope! Realistic. Burke believed that the Ponikorvky's, Stajans and Ian White's could catapult his team into the playoffs, if he added another 30 goals. He also believed Tomas Kaberle was an allstar defenceman too. When push came to shove, he was mistaken on all counts. His choice of UFA's have been suspect as well. Since he arrived, he hasn't shored up his goaltending and his center ice position. They are woefully still not corrected, 5 years into his so called quick rebuild. Kessel is a very good goal scorer. Is he Captain material? Nope? Is he a leader on the ice, using dogged determination to drive to the net or backcheck? Nope. He's average, outside of his goal scoring ability. He added a player without adding a backup plan and filling his critical needs. This is why the Leafs Nation have issues with this regime.
