Hockey Night in Canada personality Don Cherry is the gift that keeps on giving to hockey bloggers. Whenever the guy opens his mounts, he's equally likely to say something entertaining, enlightening or outrageous. And
when a Canadian Press reporter caught up with him at a racetrack in Toronto on Thursday, he was a little bit of all those things.
- Defended Maple Leaf veterans Bryan McCabe and Darcy Tucker, dismissing calls for either player to be bought out of the remainder of their contracts; and
- Complained bitterly that Hockey Hall of Fame voters had passed over Ontario-native and Cherry favorite Doug Gilmour in the latest round of balloting earlier this week. Said Cherry: "That's ridiculous ... I'm not knocking the guys who were in there now but they couldn't carry his jockstrap."
One question I would have liked to ask Cherry: What did he think of the contention of
Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy that the Lakers lost the NBA title to the Celtics
because they had too many Europeans on the roster?
