ROY DU NORD!!!
After seeing the Ontario Sport Minister wanting to take hitting out of the game, yes he is more relevant than ever.
By that logic Don Cherry was never relevant. Because most people are not hard core sports fans and most people don't watch hockey. It's not like his reach before was beyond the scope of hockey. HNIC routinely doesn't even beak the top 30 watched programs in Canada. The crux of this discussion is of his ongoing relevance or not. If the base of the discussion is that he was relevant prior to his firing from HNIC, the scope of the argument is completely limited to the scope of hockey in Canada. Not some wider spread appeal.
He is a good storyteller and a good entertainer. However, if you are using him for guidance on the actual evaluation of hockey you are in for a bad time. You can definitely see the generation of hockey fans raised on Don Cherry gossip by the sheer amount of bias in their evaluations
Him ranting "get your stick out of the way of the puck" when it resulted in a deflection on net about 1% of the time while completely ignoring it when it deflected away 99% of the time isn't really great advice.I thought he had some good nuggets: get your stick out of the way of the shot, how he would've handled the Patrick Roy situation,
to save his career in Montreal.
Piece of ancient xenophobic trash.
Pat Quinn called him out on his made up Bure garbage way back in 95:
Don loved his good old boys Ballard/Eagleson racists all the way to their end:
Now he might as well continue to yell at the cloud until it's all over.

If Don Cherry's comments only involved wearing a poppy as a Whole Foods employee he'd still have a job.I understand Whole Foods in Canada was forced to change their policy on Remembrance Day poppies.

They thought allowing poppies would be seen as pushing an agenda.
Such a sad effin society we've created.
After initially refusing to back down, Whole Foods reversed the policy later on Friday, explaining that its new dress code wasn't designed to single out the symbol of remembrance, and that employees are now welcome to wear poppies at work.
