The Armchair Coach at it Again...

How is it Don Cherry, a demonstrably career long crappy coach, can sit there in his little segment and babble about X's and O's stuff like he knows what he's talking about.

 

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE HIM!!

It's like watching Mike Milbury on NBC talk about how a team got shafted in a trade at trade deadline

Always about the covering the points bs. Teams do cover points, but they cheat on the forwards more often because in this day an age players block point shots better than ever, and forwards 3 on 3 can cycle around eachother because players are more skilled and smart.

Re: The Armchair Coach at it Again...

You are absolutely right.  We should definitely ignore his opinion, but highly value that of the "geniuses" who are anonymous but have the ability to post their significant "knowledge: from the safety of their 200 square foot basement apartment despite never playing hockey above junior "b" level (if that) and never having any coaching experience

 

makes sense to me

Re: The Armchair Coach at it Again...

I think Cherry is both overrated (by himself, mostly, lol), and underrated by his detractors.  He's a knowledgeable hockey guy, imo, but that is often overshadowed by his ridiculous opinions on other subjects, such as European players, visors, ect...

Re: The Armchair Coach at it Again...

sorry Limey - no offence intended to you.  In fact, I frequently enjoy your posts and opinions.  You must admit though, that these forums are full of people that make me shake my head so often that my neck hurts

I will put his 78 years of being in or around the game against your 15 years of disrespecting your elders if you don't mind .

It's almost as unbelievable as the frequency of threads like this.

Wow dislike Cherry if you want but to call him a crappy coach is completely ignorant. His was the best team to never win a cup and that is only because he had to face a dynastic Habs team. He was a Jack Adams trophy winner and coach of Canada's team in the 1976 Canada cup.

Re: The Armchair Coach at it Again...

He might say some crazy things for effect but you don't get to hang around the game as long as he has by being a dummy . He has seen more then any of us in here could ever dream of in the game . I don't agree with every thing he says but I respect him for his opinions on what's going on . He deserves a little respect as a senior citizen as well . Some of the comments on him in here are a little insulting .

Re: The Armchair Coach at it Again...

So what do you propose he talk about in his coaches corner, prices of beef.

It's a hockey show and he brings up more good points than bad. It's an opinion.
