OLD TIME HOCKEY!!!!

It brought me and mine together...
There was a lot of hockey worth watching in the 70s.
Go Bruins!
All the corporations care about is "minority market share". They are all fighting each other over it. Lots of dollars to spend. Government handouts. Ooh.
What gets me about these phony goldbricking turd world immigrants and refugees is that they claim to have come here to escape persecution and violence in their home countries.
Yet the first thing they bitch about here is the paint color they chose doesn't really look like what they thought it would look like when they put it on their walls.
So they want a REFUND. And management gives it to them.
Lying sacks of sh!t.
And BTW none of them believe in using contraceptives. That's only for white American women. So they can extinct themselves. Dumbest women on the face of the earth.
Genocide. Pure and simple.
And the Frickin’ Flyers got rid of the Kate Smith Statue.
Band of Gold--Don Cherry (1955)
Sportsnet: Don, you’re going to have to apologize.
Don Cherry: FOAD
The Bullies weren’t “too physical.” They were playing like a bunch of dirty bastards in that game. LOL.
There was a lot of hockey worth watching in the 70s. ............. I enjoyed it most in the early to mid 80’s, of course I lived on L.I. back then.
The usual claptrap. What are those values? If those values involve ingratitude and scorn for military sacrifices why not have the courage to say so and deal with a similar (or worse) set of consequences?
God Bless them!
I am probably going to tee off a few people here with my few cents worth here. I have not watched Hockey Night In Canada for a long time. It is overlong and overproduced and even though I am more likely to agree with what Don has to say about something as opposed to disagreeing, his rants and schticks are that good part of the aforementioned issue. This latest incident is a good example of this sort of thing.
For the last number of winters, I’ve been content to watch the Sunday afternoon games on NBC as they just simply give you a game of the week straight and that’s it. It’s kind of nice to watch a little golf afterwards, since in February you ought to be enjoying winter to one extent or another but nice to be able to look forward to when you can tee it up in that near while later on, lol.
I’d dare anybody to be able to sit down at about 6:30 Saturday PM and watch about a half hour of gabbing and talking by CBC reporters and commentators and then the game and then Coach’s Corner and then the remainder of the first game and then another one (from the West) and that goes to about midnight or so. This in contrast to when I began watching (when Don was still coaching the Bruins, the Flames were still in Atlanta, Carter in the White House, Iran still had it Shah) when the game started at 8:00 and when on to about 10:30 or 11:00 and that was it, plus with ones like Dave Hodge or Brian McFarlane and others at that time.
‘Too physical’ shouldn’t involve a premeditated, cynical tomahawk swing of a stick that broke the best player’s ankle.
But wouldn’t you concede that hockey is the NFL of Canada and is as much a cultural touchstone as a sport hence all the ancillary discussion, personalities and so forth?
ESPN, for example, has a cast of thousands talking football (and NBA) every day all day. It most certainly is excess (just as the NFL Network and other league-sponsored channels are) but somehow finds an audience and makes stars out of pundits and occasionally churls.
Coaches Corner with Don Cherry obviously has nothing on Managers Corner with Earl Weaver.
The Soviet player was Valeri Kharlamov, a guy who Montreal Canadiens Hall of Famer (and future Canadiens GM) Serge Savard described as one of the top five hockey players of all time.
Right my mistake
Grapes for Prime Minister!
LMAO.
