well there maybe many who "dislike Cherry", and I know there are. unfortunately for many Canadians they dislike (or at least say they do) because they associate him non-American populist values as pertains to hockey and because he does unabashedly tow the Canadian flag around with him. Unfortunately there are many who are either intimidated or just plainly "too politically correct" to allow themselves to appreciate what he's saying - even if the manner in which he says it isn't the most sophisticated.

and love him or hate him... as long as the rest of the doinks on CBC (GeorgeS, Healy, etc) are as boring or mis-cast as they are... he'll stick around.

Connor Brown now tops among all rookies in scoring. Tied for 9th in league scoring (only 2 pts back of being 5th). Safe to say this 6th rd pick was a steal.

Nylander,Brown,Leipisic,Leivo, Soshnikov, Gauthuier,Verhaeghe
Percy, Loov,Finn,Nillsson
Gibson,Bibeau

Lots of young talent on the marlies.

Add Andreas Johnson to that forward group too

It's hilarious

For every trace of anger I get from hearing his out-dated and malignant views, there's at least 100x the sadness that people just stand there, thumping their chests and accepting his word as gospel. These are the same people who typically confuse "freedom of speech" with "freedom from consequence".

at the end of the day Cherry is sports commentator - when he sticks to sports(hockey) which he mostly does - he has earned the right to say what he wants - and he does...
and he's been right a whole bunch more than he's been wrong in the hockey arena.

still continues to amaze me - after all these years - how someone who's been called irrelevant since about 1990 seems to be able to stir the discourse... and for someone so uneducated and "dumb" he's able to whip the politically correct masses into completely losing their minds.

that's what I find entertaining, the perpetual over-reaction to everything he says.

he has more effect in a 2 minute spot one a week than ANY other TV personality/broadcaster.

When he sticks to the analysis of the sport, he typically does a decent job. I like his passion, and I love the credit he gives to service people. I just really dislike the fact that his brand of "Canadianism" involves putting down people who were not born here, which of course is a category that I fall into.

So turn him off or mute. That's all I do. I havent heard anyone state that what he says is "gospel" (which in the true sense of that word is really fictitious anyway).
