Clown?   Cherry’s awesome!  Except for him liking Cindy. .
I see it as Canadian's version of Mad Money. If it entertains you, then good for you!

I think what divides people is his "Americanism".  He is far more Merican in his demeanor and delivery, than Canadian.  Very Marmite.  You either love him or hate him.  Mostly I think he's a complete and utter joke, but every once in a while he does actually say something sensible, or meaningfull.  Mostly he'comes across as an over=bearing, egotistical,  :clown:

I'm going to expand on that in a creative and imaginative way - I hope. 

I'm channelling Agatha Chrisie's "Miss Marple".  He reminds me of someone in our village... (The "village" being England, you understand)   :P
We had a horse racing pundit/bookie called ... John something... For the life of me I can't remember his last name?  He used to dress in tweeds and a deerstalker and was incredibly loud.  Us English would poke a little fun at him, but generally thought of him as harmless, but a little eccentric.
I casually caught a show called "wife swap" one evening.  He turned out to be the most bigoted, ignorant, arrogant, self delusional  C-word ever.
That's who/what  Don Cherry reminds me of.
For the record:  Not a fan.

Never felt a thing.   Just how "little" is he?    8-0     :snicker:
And who is he? 

My link collapsed.  My computer is telling me to go to bed....


Sorry Lily, don’t really understand the response “never felt a thing”. (Most likely due to my aging brain)! LOL!
I was just giving you some props that your post made me laugh!


George Carlin is considered to be one of the top 5 American comedians of all time! He was thought provoking, and highly intelligent, with a uniquely unrivaled, cynical perspective on life. A true comedy genius!


Don’t know if he ever performed in the UK or not. Definitely worth a listen, but you may want to take your time with it, as his performances span from the early 1960’s, all they way through to after 2005, even, when his health started deteriorating. He died in ‘08 or ‘09, I believe.

I always liked Jay Leno on NBC, funny and kind. In general do not like any comedians.

Hey Raven.
Was gettin ready to hit the hay, watchin Grubauer and the Avalanche playoff game wind down.
I like and respect Jay Leno a lot. You said it well, “funny and kind”. A gentleman, IMO!


Anyway, what prompted my response was you’re general statement of not liking any comedians!
You’d have to admit it’s a comment that would draw some attention.


So I’m curious as to what makes you feel that way, if it’s not too personal of a question?

Alta kindly posted a clip - on the previous page if you want to check it out.  It was pretty funny.  Go see.   ;D
Sorry you didn't get my rather crude, "Carry On" type joke.
No matter.  It's all in good fun and to keep our spirits up at this stressfull time.   It's all good.   ;)

Part of me doubts that TR has the brains to counter Carolina's strategy from last game. And even if we do come out of Round 1 alive, I think I'm heavily favoring Trotz and the Isles over chucklehead and the Caps.

Yep, going with the “Line Template B” won’t be enough. At least he is probably gonna sit Djoos, but how Jaskind, Boyd or DSP (isn’t called up) aren’t in is nuts, (oh yeah, they’re in Line Template D). 

Bura and Connelly are 100ft players who are sub-average in every other aspect of the game.  The only thing they do is provide offense, and we where not only shout-out,held to a record low shot total, and gave up 5 goals.  They are only in for one thing and they can’t even do that! 

On top of that, we hit out hit, out worked and out muscled by one of the smaller teams in the league without there toughest player in the line up, and of the two that can answer that, one is in the press-box and the other is in Hershey.

Add to that, Reidon had no answer for the plan Brind’amore came up with.  This could end up being a very tough series.

yep, out of all the stuff he's got, if I could have something from his garage I'd take one of these. Of course I'd have to find a way to make it power something...

Heh, he probably could still play 🤣


But yeah, looks like he’ll be GM, as has been planned since he took over TBL,

I just can't get that interested in the Western Conference games.  I just don't care that much.  They've had some great battles, but I really don't care for or about any of the teams.
I am much more interested in the all the East....too bad MY team in the east only has a couple games left to play (some biches)....UNLESS THEY WAKE THE F UP AND PLAY LIKE WE KNOW THEY CAN!!!!

Bura only showed up before the trade deadline long enough to convince GMBM to keep him around and only played "well enough" for a limited time. I wanted Bura gone a long time ago. I knew he was going to find a spark only to let it die off again eventually. If the guy only cost $1 million or less I'd say fuck it doesn't hurt to keep him as a depth guy, but he's getting paid more than he should. His contract is looking like Brooks Laich's or Martin Erat's


And yeah we're out worked and out coached. I wish we had gotten rid of Total Retard (TR) the moment Coach Q was made available. We spend so much on top notch players but cheap out on the coaching staff...


Seems like one Cup was enough for Ted and the Caps. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy as hell about that Cup and that's something that will never get taken away from us. But fuck I want some more. Our "window" to win Cups again won't open until Total Retard is fired
