I'm so sick of intermissions where these guys on NBC just talk about the goals and the obvious plays that we already saw replayed 5 times during the game. Don Cherry talks about the stuff you didn't notice and you actually LEARN something. 100% Don Cherry is the man.
Legendary Maple Leaf. Carried the team that one playoff run when Sundin and lots of other guys were injured. Such a great player to have on your team, great leader.
Warrior. Relentless. Inspiring leader. I missed him when he left the Leafs.My 3 fave Leafs? Wendall Clark, Doug Gilmour, and Gary Roberts. Honourable mention to Mats Sundin. Respect to Darcy Tucker and tie Domi too.
@STNeish I absolutely agree! Gary Roberts was my absolute favourite player while he was with the Flames and I was heartbroken when he left. Amazing skill.
Roberts is a guy who players will learn from. Take for example Stamkos. He's on fire this year and he tied with Crosby for the Richard last season. Fun fact: Stamkos has been trained by Roberts for the last two seasons.
Getting rid of Cherry was pure stupidity on CBC! I never watch CBC again... "YOU PEOPLE" he doesn't mean anything by it!!! I'm brown have watched him since day 1. Today's commentary compared to Danny Gallivan, good ol Red, and Bob Cole doesn't compare.
@bsdaemon666 when I posted this it was a little after the Cooke suspension...and as I was surfing YT I was looking at a Gary Roberts punch on Johan Franzen....so I do agree with you that Roberts is not Matt Cooke.
Not a Don Cherry fan, but absolutely right on this. I remember being an Ottawa Senators fan in the heyday of the Leafs-Sens rivalry (when the Leafs could actually make the playoffs). Even as someone who hated the Leafs with a passion, I had mad respect for Gary Roberts.
As far as I'm concerned, when he's talking about Gary Roberts, he IS talking about a star. To my mind, Roberts is one of the best hockey players to ever lace 'em up.
Don is always right and " I remember that time in Boston " something something " Good ole Canadian boy" something something " Kingston Ontario" something something " Brown people don't wear poppies" etc...
@STNeish You could not be more correct!!!! I was a fan from his rookie season in Calgary.....I wanted to marry him when I was in high school (that didn't work out)!
He's one of the smartest hockey minds out there! Just because he's outspoken and says some things he shouldn't sometimes doesn't deny the fact he's always right! But im sure you don't even take the time to listen what he has to say!
@kizzie48 first of all, ovechkin consistently takes 5+ stride runs at guys, and that's a headhunter in my opinion. and he gets too reckless trying to enter the zone? are you talking about how he hangs out in the neutral zone waiting for a pass?
iblockpuncheswithmyface that was when he graduated from suits made from shower curtains to suits made from central African wallpaper with vibrant wildlife motifs.
Oh look... he says “you people” twice and he’s talking about the average Canadian hockey fan. Personally, I’m glad he’s off the air. He’s obnoxious, pompous, and arrogant as hell. I never liked him. But that said, they did him wrong. He didn’t deserve that level of consequence.
Always had the same view lol. He IS pretty much as obnoxious and delusional as his reputation. But the punishment was a bit extreme for the crime. Guess it was the straw that broke the CBC back.
Don Cherry & Gary Roberts, coaching in any NHL city, would be banned by the NHL "Board Of Governors", due to that team winning Stanley Cups TWO times every season....... Don Cherry forgot more about hockey, than JR, Eddie O, Mike "here's a shoe for ya" Milbury, & Keith "they play the right way" Jones, will ever know, and his hockey "IQ", is twice as large as all those mentioned combined. This sport will never be taken seriously, until the play by play & "color" men, call the games with no biased opinions, & the "wondering aloud" about scenarios on the ice, only to watch the official skate to center ice, and hear him then make everything they just said, seem juvenile & completely foolish! The the "Pierre Magiver" """GO TO""" catch phrase, "He just may be the best player in the game, he scored 7000 goals down in Tuscaloosa, and he's listed at 5' 7", but plays the game at 6'2" shift after shift"!!! (Also- He can really fight......... & then the player gets his butt handed to him by a guy half his size) Seriously........... Complete overhaul, like 2 seasons ago , please!
@goldendome10383 I dont think so! If Ovechkin is a headhunter, Crosby would be a memory. The hit on Campbell was questionable, but everyone usually knows hes around. Where as Roberts submarines ya from behind like someone who defines headhunter. No worries though, He'll get his. Has that wicked wrister, but gets too reckless trying to get the zone. Seems to be making some enemies along the way, and on any given day..............
@LetsGoRedWings93 Cherrys like a commentator in the WWE. One backs up the face and points out when the heels cheat to win. His boys do no wrong. The other commentator, the same only vice versa. With Cherry its the Leafs that do no wrong, next of course is the Bruins, then the Penguins with his new golden boy, Sid the Kid. They do no wrong and when they lose its always a bad break. So I agree, Cherrys getting senile with age and is getting almost as monotonous as Pat Quinns post game interviews.
Hes always right, Yeah whatever Cherry.Roberts is a god and Ovechkins a punk..Sorry, Ill take the 50 goal scorer whos been MVP on more than one occasion than that boarding headhunter Roberts.
@rpovlik thats a little excessive. I don't agree with everything Cherry says but if ur a Canadian i cant see how you would want this guy dead.. relax pal.
@goldendome10383 Yeah, forur five strides skating to someone with the puck moron. Is he supposed to wait around for them to come to him. And actually I watched the Campbell incident, and Ovie did no wrong. Ovechkins trophy mantel probably weighs more than Roberts and Cherry together. Cup or no cup. But like I said before, he's on borrowed time. He'll get his, probably when hes gloating over another goal # 50.
@17MJG93 he could have done all that charity work and that saids a lot about him but his attitude is simple snobby and it gives a negative image of canada in my opinion
They literally had to change the rules to make it easier for the European players. Modern NHL hockey is exactly the same as the crap they have in Sweden.
@17MJG93 @17MJG93 with all do respect, his cocky attitude and putting players down simply cause he doesn't like them.. it's immature..it's his way or the highway.. nobodys opininion matters.. he's a hipocrat I'm sorry.. and is racis.. he loves canada and will die for his country.. but that's all I can say about him.. speaks from knowledge like he had an nhl career.. played 1 game.. who is he to critize
Gary Roberts vs. Mark Messier on opposite sides are a matchup I’d watch every day, any day, regardless of what teams or leagues they are playing in. Today’s fans have no idea what they missed in those early battles of Alberta.
I'm so sick of intermissions where these guys on NBC just talk about the goals and the obvious plays that we already saw replayed 5 times during the game. Don Cherry talks about the stuff you didn't notice and you actually LEARN something. 100% Don Cherry is the man.
Well said,,, anyone can learn the sport but people who grew up with "Grapes" learned the game. It's either in your blood or not at all.
Once CBC got rid of Cherry I stopped watching cbc. My kids knew the rule before. When Don was on, no talking.
10 years later and this comment is still bang on.
I love how cherry acts... he is a legend
you can never say too much about roberts. he's a legend in every arena he played in.
Sundin, Roberts, Gilmour, Domi, tucker...miss those leafs...the best ever
Those are Flames
Legendary Maple Leaf. Carried the team that one playoff run when Sundin and lots of other guys were injured. Such a great player to have on your team, great leader.
Why is it Ottawa could never beat the Leafs in the playoffs? Roberts was a major reason.
Plus they'd get slapped the fuck out
Warrior. Relentless. Inspiring leader.
I missed him when he left the Leafs.My 3 fave Leafs? Wendall Clark, Doug Gilmour, and Gary Roberts. Honourable mention to Mats Sundin.
Respect to Darcy Tucker and tie Domi too.
Stumpy
@STNeish I absolutely agree! Gary Roberts was my absolute favourite player while he was with the Flames and I was heartbroken when he left. Amazing skill.
if you don't like Grapes, you can go watch a sport you know.
loved Roberts in Toronto!
Don always speak the truth, too bad, not too many people can handle the truth.
Roberts is a guy who players will learn from. Take for example Stamkos. He's on fire this year and he tied with Crosby for the Richard last season.
Fun fact: Stamkos has been trained by Roberts for the last two seasons.
He said "you people" here folks, this was before getting all offended and controlling people unjustly was all the rage.
Gary Roberts was one of the best Flames.
Also, I love how Don Cherry makes suits out of curtains! :D
Getting rid of Cherry was pure stupidity on CBC! I never watch CBC again...
"YOU PEOPLE" he doesn't mean anything by it!!! I'm brown have watched him since day 1. Today's commentary compared to Danny Gallivan, good ol Red, and Bob Cole doesn't compare.
I don't know how people can hate Don. The man spews out the most down to earth comments and bleeds Canadian blood down to the bone.
Gary Roberts kicks ass.
@bsdaemon666 when I posted this it was a little after the Cooke suspension...and as I was surfing YT I was looking at a Gary Roberts punch on Johan Franzen....so I do agree with you that Roberts is not Matt Cooke.
Not a Don Cherry fan, but absolutely right on this. I remember being an Ottawa Senators fan in the heyday of the Leafs-Sens rivalry (when the Leafs could actually make the playoffs). Even as someone who hated the Leafs with a passion, I had mad respect for Gary Roberts.
My grandma has curtains with the exactly the same design pattern as that suit.
'because im always right, remember that"
As far as I'm concerned, when he's talking about Gary Roberts, he IS talking about a star. To my mind, Roberts is one of the best hockey players to ever lace 'em up.
Just remember 1:56 Don is always right and your wrong about hockey.
Don is always right and " I remember that time in Boston " something something " Good ole Canadian boy" something something " Kingston Ontario" something something " Brown people don't wear poppies" etc...
Don Cherry - King of circumstantial evidence
@STNeish You could not be more correct!!!! I was a fan from his rookie season in Calgary.....I wanted to marry him when I was in high school (that didn't work out)!
@ElectPedro08 Yea all the teams he's been on the last 20 years have won a cup. ;)
He's one of the smartest hockey minds out there! Just because he's outspoken and says some things he shouldn't sometimes doesn't deny the fact he's always right! But im sure you don't even take the time to listen what he has to say!
@kizzie48 first of all, ovechkin consistently takes 5+ stride runs at guys, and that's a headhunter in my opinion. and he gets too reckless trying to enter the zone? are you talking about how he hangs out in the neutral zone waiting for a pass?
That's Rights, Cherry Always is Right!....... And so am I. 👍
So right when he says the stars are obvious
don cherry looks like an easter boquet!!!!
Is that some kind of seasonal bread/pastry?
I know what he is talking about , and I am always right too!
A line that consisted of Roberts McCaulay and Hoglund beat a stacked Senators team. Roberts is a HOF
Valid points.
Robert’s should be the coach of the Leafs.
DAMN! that suit!
iblockpuncheswithmyface that was when he graduated from suits made from shower curtains to suits made from central African wallpaper with vibrant wildlife motifs.
Oh look... he says “you people” twice and he’s talking about the average Canadian hockey fan.
Personally, I’m glad he’s off the air. He’s obnoxious, pompous, and arrogant as hell. I never liked him.

He IS pretty much as obnoxious and delusional as his reputation.
But the punishment was a bit extreme for the crime. Guess it was the straw that broke the CBC back.
you still do not know hockey as much as we do in canada..its in our blood
Bingo, they will NEVER get it. You can’t just play the to get it either, you gotta love it.
Role players make winning teams
I think his suit his made out of my old bed sheet.
@morningwould he knows more then you ever would, when where you a bench boss in the nhl

Hey he said "you people"
@parishot84 Avery? Is that you? I thought so.
Cherry broke it down perfect...Gary Roberts is a freaking genius.
I heard Gary Roberts changed his name....it's now Matt Cooke
@goldendome10383 I dont think so! If Ovechkin is a headhunter, Crosby would be a memory. The hit on Campbell was questionable, but everyone usually knows hes around.

don cherry rocks
@kizzie48 haha sorry, kizzie, but ovechkin is the definition of a head-hunter.

Don cherry his real name of the first two guys he blew???

cherrys the shit
You people!?!?
@17MJG93 he could have done all that charity work and that saids a lot about him but his attitude is simple snobby and it gives a negative image of canada in my opinion
Year after year that same shit!! Boring as Hell, Leafs SUCK!! They should play in the KHL!! 🤗
Don Cherry was right...Europeans and Russians will never make it in the NHL
They literally had to change the rules to make it easier for the European players. Modern NHL hockey is exactly the same as the crap they have in Sweden.
@@Idontwantahandle6669 exactly
They pussified hockey to globalize it
Don Still thinks its 1974 and Bobby Orr is still playing someone has to remind him he isn't the head coach of the Bruins anymore
You're probably an American
@17MJG93 @17MJG93 with all do respect, his cocky attitude and putting players down simply cause he doesn't like them.. it's immature..it's his way or the highway.. nobodys opininion matters.. he's a hipocrat I'm sorry.. and is racis.. he loves canada and will die for his country.. but that's all I can say about him..
speaks from knowledge like he had an nhl career.. played 1 game.. who is he to critize
Do you know what you are talking ? He is the NHL coach, of course he knows the in and out of the game and the players.
Found the guy that never played hockey.
Gary Roberts vs. Mark Messier on opposite sides are a matchup I’d watch every day, any day, regardless of what teams or leagues they are playing in.
Today’s fans have no idea what they missed in those early battles of Alberta.
Best hockey ever played.
Gary robertts sucked don cherrys co
