Don Cherry Rips Alex Ovechkin

[Bruins]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, sorry if it has been.



I think it's a ridiculous argument, and that Cherry is a twat. He's basically saing "Let's encourage our players to not have any passion about the game!"

Thoughts?

I don't have any problem with celebrations, it's the taunting he does to the opposing team's bench on occasion that gets me. That's disrespectful trash. Cherry's a blowhard, but he's right about one thing........AO's day of reckoning is coming. And it was funny seeing his celebrations compared to those of a soccor player.

Cherry should take his own advice and throw out all of the flamboyant suits he continually wears if he wants to get rid of entertainment.

[metallicatz]

Haha. Those suits look like something Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart would wear back in the old WWF days.

it's funny because i was watching a hockey show on tsn the other nite and i believe it was mike milbury saying that crosby should play with more passion like ovechkin does.

What's wrong with that? It's just passion.

[Brandon13]

Umm... I didn't think any of those Ovechkin celebrations were comparable to the soccer ones they showed.

As I said, I don't have have a problem with the celebrations so much. I'm just a subscriber to the "act like you've been there before" philosophy.

LOL really? Crosby plays with passion, which sometimes might lead to nut punching.

I'm not too big on individual celebrations, but I don't think Ovechkin has crossed that line. I don't mind the jumping into the glass and all that... I mean, if anything, that gets everyone else pumped. Now if he's going to dive all over the ice as a celebration, I think that crosses the line. But from what I've seen, I don't have a problem with 99% of it.
