re don cherry help me out here in article mfpirbo wbli ispc andrew cmu edu william k willis ww a andrew cmu edu writes as a person who has rarely even seen don cherry and doesn t know anything about him i don t know whether it is just this area pittsburgh of the usa that is deprived of his broadcasts or whether he s a canadian thing altogether seriously what is he all about i know he was a coach at one time and from the volume of posts about him someone surely is getting a steady diet of him somehow but my question is what is the deal with him secondly are the comments of his that i read about on the net merely flame bait or do people actually take him seriously i gotta tell you from what i see he really sounds like an ass let me know maybe i m missing something well here in detroit we get to see and hear don cherry quite regularly the detroit area picks up hockey night in canada from cbc ch in windsor where we see don cherry s coaches corner between periods we also get to see don cherry s grapevine just before the game the grapevine is a hockey talk show where don talks to a player or coach about what else hockey it s actually a pretty good show and don isn t as annoying as he is on coaches corner i think this is were don got his nickname grapes but i m not sure don use to coach the boston bruins i don t know exactly when that was could someone fill me in on this info a local radio station here in detroit wllz talks to don every tuesday morning personally i ve had my fill of donny he really pisses me off sometimes during the detroit toronto game monday night on cbc don gave high praise to doug gilmour saying he was a two way player and not just a designated goal scorer and that he is probably the best player in the game because of that that s fine and i agree that gilmour is a good two way player but he said the exact same thing about yzerman about a month ago on a local radio talk show what gives it seems like he just has a set speech that he changes when he goes from city to city don cherry i think insert star player name for city that he is in is the best two way player in the league today there have been other times can t remember exactly what he said that he basically changed his opinions to match the audience he was talking to someone here on the net said something about how don criticized mario lemieux but when the time comes for don to broadcast the cup playoffs from the civic center yes i think the pens will make it out of the wales conference don will apologize left and right for his remarks about lemieux in my opinion he is an ass and i won t change my opinion if i m in a different city sorry if this didn t answer your question better but i just had to get this off my chest laurie marshall wayne state university detroit michigan go wings
