“Yes I Can”

I saw this on Coach’s Corner one night and loved it, so when my buddy Ron Clarke sent it today, I was happy to see it again and have it permanently here. This is way better than seeing Don kiss Nazem Kadri.

Dear Don…….Love Robin

Robin Herman was the first female reporter to be allowed in a men’s locker room by a coach, back in the 1970s. That coach was Don Cherry. Here’s a brand new letter from Robin, addressed to Don – Don Cherry, you were my hero Thanks to Danno for this.

Don’s Dressing Room Rant

On Coach’s Corner last night, Don Cherry went on about how women shouldn’t be allowed in men’s dressing rooms and the same goes for men in ladies’ rooms. It was quite a lively Coach’s Corner to say the least. And although many will say Don is wrong on this, I’ll bet there are plenty who [...]

Game Day – Habs And Those Other Guys

If I can only scrounge up $2.50 to go the game tonight. Even seventy-five cents if I don’t mind sitting up high. Of course it’ll cost me about $900 to fly to Toronto and back. So all in all, to be there when the Canadiens wipe out Don Cherry’s love children would be about $902.50, [...]

Amazing Canadiens Find A Way

It’s hard to know how to begin. I’m still in a big of a daze after seeing how the latest Habs and Bruins affair transpired. It’s all quite unbelievable, and because I’ve now turned the dial to the blues channel, I can’t hear the many excuses Bruins coach Claude Julien will come up with as [...]

Big Canadian Day, Eh!

For those of you in other countries, today, Sunday, is a big day in Canada. Grey Cup Day. The 100th Grey Cup. When Canadians from coast to coast gather to eat meatballs, dips and chili. They also drink a lot of beer on this day, which is never a good idea because most have to [...]

Mellanby Joins Habs’ Front Office

Scott Mellanby has been hired by the Habs as director of player personnel, and as I have no idea if this will prove to be a good move or not, all I can say is this former player played 21 years in the NHL, with Philadelphia, Edmonton, Florida, Toronto, St. Louis, and Atlanta, and during [...]

From My Pile Of Old Programs

Don Cherry belonged to the Montreal Canadiens for a short time in the early 1960′s, until Sam Pollock took him aside one day and asked him to lay off the beer. Cherry said he wouldn’t and was promptly shipped to the Spokane Comets of the Western Hockey League where he played one season (68 games, 9 goals, 13 assists), before [...]
