Mike Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Why is everyone commenting about Cherry’s suits? Da fuck does that have to do with anything? I don’t wear suits like Don Cherry, and I think it’s fuckin dumb as shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Because it's hypocritical. He's made a name for himself by being as visibly obnoxious as possible while ripping a team for trying to build a fanbase with nontraditional celebrations.

Look, I don’t care about Don Cherry, or whether or not people like him, I’m just saying he’s entitled to an opinion regardless of his wardrobe. I don’t dislike people who enjoy it, I just think it’s ridiculous. They’re not selling games out because of these shenanigans. They’re just as bad as the choreographed td cellies in football. In fact, they’re copying every celly from football, so the shit isn’t even original. Bowling, sledding, limbo, walk off, etc ... all done by NFL teams.

BrooksBurner Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The celebrations are corny and I personally prefer the "act like you've done it before" mantra. But they can do whatever they want, and people tend to forget sports are entertainment. If their fans like the post game celebrations then good for them. They should be prepared for an opposing team to do it on their ice after a big win in the playoffs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't really want to watch an old man yell at clouds, but if I'm reading between the lines here... Carolina is capitalizing on this by selling shirts with the quote of what Cherry said? That's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't really have a strong opinion on those celebrations, but Don Cherry is a relic and a total weapon and should get back in his fucking box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liken it to how the Rangers started going to center ice and raising their stick to the fans at the end of games after the lockout ended. It's just trying to have some fun and get the fans involved.

This. The backlash has put them on a national stage, too, which only benefits them. People are now watching Carolina Hurricanes games, which is more than could be said before this all happened.

josh Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I think the win celebrations are dumb. Looks amateur-league, IMO. this is the same league that outlawed jersey tucks, skate lace colors and visor colors when players were trying to show personality, so I cant justify it on that aspect. I dont care enough about Cherry to listen to what he said, though. I think the Rangers post-game stick raise needs to stop too. As does the high-fiving everyone on the bench after every goal. Both are played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The celebrations are pretty lame and I was embarrassed for them When I first saw it lol Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hockey has a personality problem and people like Don Cherry (ironic) are the reason why. I personally think their celebrations are lame. But I also think the VGK pregames are lame. You know what though? There are people who love that shit, so let them. Unwritten rules are bulkshit. Let them have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Chief Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The arena's with the blaring music (which usually sucks) and light shows in between whistles is truly annoying as fuck. Like the Ducks. And their shitty TV anouncers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 How hot are those "Bunch of Jerks" shirts that the Carolina Hurricanes created to goof on Don Cherry? A little more than 24 hours after they went on sale online, the Hurricanes sold 1,680 shirts. Those sales included 41 states and three countries: the U.S., the Netherlands and, of course, Canada. They go on sale in the Hurricanes team store on Tuesday. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41055855-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think the skol clap is lame, but whatever. The NBA model sucks, but the celebrations aren't worth getting fussy over. We should remember that this all comes back to the Rangers saluting the crowd after the lockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
