The Top 2 comments are people ragging on Cherry?? They must be Fetisov fans that never grew up learning how hockey was suppose to be played, rather they learned what their child molesting communist coach or father taught them.
what an extraordinary brainless shithead Don the Moron Cherry is!!!
The magnitude of his preposterousness and clownery never ceases to amaze!!
What i find puzzling though is how many canadians think of him as their "hockey mentor"?! I mean: if your mentor is SO f.cking braindead, what does it say about u?! I presume nothing good.
@peacenforcer Oh yeah we should all listen to you right? I mean you have played, coached and won coach of the year in the NHL and run one of the most watched shows on CBC. Don Cherry is a god and knows what he's talking about. Get off the internet immediately
@Kipperluongo It's exactly because people listen to such "gods" that the world we live in is such an infinitely FUCKED UP place.
Bad news for u, kipperluongo, you are one of the obvious brainwashed contributors to the current dire current state of affairs. Keep admiring idiots and imbeciles, pal. After all, it's not without reason they say: "Every idiot will always find an even bigger idiot to admire".
@peacenforcer Well people generally listen to people that know what they're talking about. I would prefer Don Cherry over you for one fact, he knows everything about hockey, you don't. He's been around hockey his entire life and he knows what's going on. Fetisov is a cheapshot end of story
@camerondiaztwin Fuck you, Don Cherry is a legend for his Outbursts like this one. he Highlights the dirty scum in the league all the way from back then to this very day.
Russians are nothing. Like Cherry said, The Flyers and Sabres exposed the Red Army as nothing but overhyped behind the Iron Curtain Commie Borsh Manure propaganda
@BBQFanNo1 Right. The NHL is MAYBE 5% Russian, yet a lot of them seem to be some of the best players in the league. Look at Sergei Federov, Alex Ovechkin, Pavel Datsyuk, Evgeny Malkin, Ilya Kovalchuk and so on. I mean, you could argue that Canada is the better hockey nation, but Russia definitely produces their fair share of amazing players.
@LOLXBOX420 lol You could maybe make a case for Datsyuk because he doesn't throw a fit any time someone hits him, but Ovechkin is SO full of passion and Malkin's the biggest drama queen on the ice. Kovalchuk and Federov have as much passion as any other player.
Probably something else I should mention; 5 straight World Junior Golds for Canada. And you probably shouldn't lump Canada and America together, as well as all of Europe. Because if you want to compare Canada and America to European countries, I can easily pull out Belarus, Germany, England, Italy, etc... And those countries are pretty bad at hockey.
Yeah, North American hockey sucks. Look at the NHL, there are 0 of the top players from countries like Sweeden, Russia, Czech Rep, Finland, Slovakia and Switzerland. It's completely and 100% all Canadian and American players. And players play in their hometowns too. Ovechkin is probably the best player to come out of the DC area, same with Lundqvist being from New York and Chara being from Boston. Oh, wait a tic, those guys are from other countries. Whoops.
We like honest, classy, tough hockey players — not guys who high-stick, knee and try to hurt people. Fetisov had it coming, Clark rang his bell and that's that.
And besides, the new generation of Canadian hockey player has finesse and toughness. Tavares, Crosby, Nash, Getzlaf...
Clark's cheapshot on Fetisov? You mean the punch he landed on Fetisov after Fetisov dove at his knee and then came back at him with his hands up? I feel bad for a stand-up guy like that. Typical coward. Willing to go after knees, not willing to stand up for himself.
Fetsiov wasnt a cheapshot artist like you canadiens like to show it. He did some bad stuff, so did clark and Mario and most guys playing hockey. WE all done some stuff we are not proud of. But compared to MArio and Fetisov, clark was a sore loser who never won shit.
@jkrx You are sad. Clark was a warrior. A class in his own on a shitty T.O team. Or any team almost. One of the best. Best wooden stick wrist shot in the NHL
@jkrx yeah he cracks under pressure a lot, but his style of play and the way he plays during the reg season makes him good, my fav goalie is kipper though, luongo is a guy i sort of base my game off of
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
are you kidding me the guys a racist/ sexist fuck.... his own co worker couldnt take him anymore which... in turn caused him to hold maybe 10 minutes of airtime on saturday ngiht rather than all intermissions, you gotta think buddy because you got no idea, and avery is right he doesnt know shit he just babbles on and bitchs, and if hes wrong he raises his voice and yells so noone can prove him wrong!
i love people who bash don cherry, he is smarter and has done more for hockey then any of you dumbasses. so what if he doesnt like earopeons? just stfu and leave him alone cocksuckers
Hatred is always useless and this is no valuable justification you can possibly hold to support it as being any near to a logical thought.
Cherry has done nothing to hockey but mocking of one of the greatest hockey nation, Russia, for the only and only reason they were Canada's arch enemy.
What a great hockey man he was to lead a great team to failure!
This same guy who said Russian couldn't play and was upset about Bure's success. What a man!!!
Cherry is an ASSHOLE, he could not play hockey worth a SHIT ! he has NO BUSINESS CRITIZING ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS EVER, That schmuck cherry could not carry FETISOV'S JOCK !
He made a living off playing hockey, went professional and achieved quite a bit of success, albeit at the minor league level. Could you do that? No. So shut the fuck up. Im sure Don Cherry could out play you for years after he hung the skates up.
don cherry spent little time in the NHl he was up for a cup of coffee ACTUALLY IT WAS MORE LIKE A SHOT GLASS. I'M glad you like him because he is A PIECE OF SHIT !
Great players can be dirty, (see bryant, kobe; clarke, bobby; pronger, chris; etc). Fetisov was a dirty player, just accept that. I've seen clips of what he's done, he's dirty. Not that I'm taking away from anything he did to help improve the game of hockey and promote it worldwide, but he's a dirty player. Prove me wrong.
Also, I'd be willing to bet my life savings that Cherry (back in his 20's) could whoop anybody who is commenting on this video (including myself).
Don Cherry being an average AHLer has nothing to do with his comments. Would you feel better about those comments if Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe or Mark Messier made them? Probably not. You're missing the point and trying to argue something that has no relevance to the discussion, nor is it anything that anybody else cares about but yourself. Me calling him a dirty player would be no different than Don Cherry. Again, as I said before, prove me & Cherry wrong. Otherwise shut it
Again, I'm not arguing the prejudice that Cherry has towards Euros. I'm arguing the fact that Fetisov is a dirty player. And stop with the all caps, it makes you seem like a 5 year old mashing away at the keyboard.
Do you have anything at all to contribute to the Fetisov is a dirty player debate? Although it's not really a debate, it's like asking if Gretzky was a great player. It's just common knowledge, like Avery being a dirty player.
So, one last time, what is your argument for Fetisov?
argument ? Fetisov is one of the GREATEST DEFENSEMAN WHO HAS EVER PLAYED HOCKEY ! all players will play on the edge or close to it. if you thought Fetisov was dirty TRY CHRIS CHELIOS ! Don Cherry as they would say in Texas is a BLOWHARD !
I'll you my examples above. Kobe - don't get within armreach of him or you'll catch an elbow to the face off of a shot. Pronger - his elbows are renowned as much as his clapper. Clarke - wouldn't go into the corner with this guy without some sort of life insurance policy. All great players, all dirty players. Just like Fetisov. Again, I'm not disputing whether or not he was one of the greatest contributors to the promotion of hockey, but on the ice he was dirty.
Also, you're edge argument holds no water. Example, Scott Stevens played with an edge, but he didn't do it by using his stick or going after the knees of other players. You know who did do that? Besides Fesitov, Bryan Marchment. Let that sink in, Fetisov played like Bryan Marchment. Specializing in high sticking means 1 of 2 things, either you play for Ottawa (a la hossa on berard), or you're a dirty player. Stick to the face has nothing to do with getting the puck, but it is attempt to injure.
With that out of the way, I am quite curious as to what level of hockey you made it to that qualifies your opinion over anyone else's? See, if you can make moronic ad hominems about how people can't make a certain argument b/c of what they have or haven't done, the same thing can be said for you.
So what is it dipshit, enlighten us all about your hockey Hall of Fame career that makes your opinion any "better" than anyone else's.
Don Cherry is nothing but a rascist arsehole who would rather see a north american player throw an elbow to the face, than see a European score a goal. I watch only to see what hilariously dumb shit he come's out with next.
not true. he is pretty much strictly pro Canadian and aboslutely discourages cheap shots of any kind, NO MATTER WHERE the player comes from. if you watch so much Coaches corner you would know that. racist is not the right word either. biased defines cherry. not racist.
Canada has the greatest hockey players in the world and your comment states exactly how Russian hockey is run. The art of the dive was perfected by russians. I do recall kozlov in detroit diving around like he was crucified
Yeah, so? I'm also one of those guys that KNOWS that Malkin and Ovechkin ARE NOT better than Crosby. WTF kind of argument do you have over which one of those guys is better than the other two? Here's the reality: all 3 of them are GREAT, and there is not one that is better than the other.
This is the same stupid argument as "who's better between Gretzky, Lemieux, and Orr"... again, the answer is NO ONE. For god's sake, all 6 players mentioned play a different style!
oohhh really? give me three GOOD reasons how they're arent...........GOOD reasons...not oh he's the youngest captain to win the cup.. thats not a reason. a GOOD one...please im so curious.! lol lets see if you can think of a good one that just stuns me and the rest of the world.
It's clear you didn't understand my point, so how about you give me 3 good reasons why I should waste my time with you anymore than what I already have?
Like I said, "I don't have a problem with you defending your FAVORITE player. But to say he's the best or better than other guys just because he's your favorite is just plain moronic." I also find it stupid to compare players who have different styles. You might not understand that yet, YodaLynnie, but hopefully in a few years, you will....
I don't have a problem with you defending your FAVORITE player. But to say he's the best or better than other guys just because he's your favorite is just plain moronic. I was a fan of Stevie Y growing up, but I still knew that Mario Lemieux was a more skilled player... does that make sense to you?
And I don't wanna hear nothing about Cherry going soft on Crosby 'cause he's Canadian: Before the kid even MADE the NHL, Cherry was on his ass, so.... whatever...
Fetisov is the greatest defencemen of all time in my opinion. I say that because Fetisov won 3 times more awards than Bobby Orr so Cherry should shut the f**k up.
He didn't say that Canadians dont' do that. He's responding to press in Canada and the US basically saying Russian players can't do any wrong, and that none of them are cheap shots.
Slava Fetisov was a cheap shot. Federov was a diver, and Kasparitus wasn't all that innocent either.
We got our fair share of cheap shots too though I'm not disputing that.
His jackets are a big plus. You never know what he's going to wear. And he's not a douche trying to fit in like all the other hockey experts who all look alike.
Fetisov is the MAN! Please, I like Don but his biy Wendell was a criminal on the ice and look who posted this: BroadStreetBUlly...tough days since 75 huh kid?
ImmortalLayneStaley u dummy.....check the footage clown...It was Dano straight up defending Matteau in front of Broduer. check your facts before you sound like a moron like you do now
Fetisov was the best defensemen in the world for like a decade. He's one of the 5 best defenseman of all time. His nhl career was just icing on the cake. THis guy was captain of the USSR Red Army team..he knows every trick in the book. Props to the first Red to come over and Props as always to Lou for drafting him
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Besides Bourque far outclassed him in every aspect."
Go watch Canada Cup 81, my friend. Bourque and his friends were out of position on all of CCCP goals. So much for the HHOF "quality".
BTW, Slava Fetisov beat Ray Bourque to his first Stanley Cup by 4 years, despite coming to NHL some 10 years later. And he has one MORE Stanley Cup ring than Bourque.
There is no doubt that there are distinct differences between North American hockey and European hockey. North American hockey rewards toughness and discipline, while European hockey regards grace and finesse. This is what Don Cherry is saying when he rails against European players; and he's right to do so.
I can't say which is the better method to play , but that is why I have always enjoyed watching European hockey of grace and finesse over the NHL's bruising charge.
I must admit that I do enjoy some European play; there is something to be said about finesse. But I have found over the years that European hockey has an aversion toward toughness. Hopefully that will end the more the two styles blend.
Finally - a fellow Canadian with some brains on this issue. Clark took numerous cheapshots at Fetisov (and even threatened him in the press prior to their first game against eachother). Fetisov was more in the mold of a Ray Bourque - would Clark be considered tough if he took cheap shots at Bourque (a non-fighter)? I don't think so. Clark basically had it in his (or Harold Ballard's) mind that he could rund Fetisov out of the league because he was Russian.
So your saying Clark's a racist? Ya SURE. The fact is that even though Clark threatened him, Fetisov shouldn't go around high-sticking great players like Clark or Lemieux and just focus on his damn game.
It bugs me how he says it like Russians are the dirtiest players ever. Y'know, almost as if a Canadian players' never done something like this before. Don Cherry is the man, no questions, but sometimes he needs to cool his pacemaker a little bit.
Hey Clark is well known as a cheap shop artist. I remember in Minni he beat up Bob Brooke and would not stop punching even when he was down. I have never seen Clark stop punching even when the other was down. A real classless guy. But then what do you expect from an uneducated hick from SASK.
If you're going to get into it with Wendel you better be prepared. Brooke was pushing and shoving with Wendel and then Wendel got the advantage quick. if memory serves me correct Maruk cross-checked Wendel in the face and you didn't see Clark rolling around on the ice. Wendel pound for pound the toughest ever!
Suprarush, why don't you address the issue of Clark continuing to punch a non fighter even when he is down. You and I both know that is a classless thing to do. If you remember Maruk did cross check him in the face and Clark just went off the ice. He did not beat up Maruk because he knew he deserved it for what he did to Brooke.
Hey, Huntsie still has a place in the hearts of the Washington faithful...though the Turgeon hit was a real low moment for the Caps and hockey...still hurts. For his faults though, Hunter was heart and soul for the Caps. We miss that now.
Fetisov was known for being the dirtiest player in the league

not true. he is pretty much strictly pro Canadian and aboslutely discourages cheap shots of any kind, NO MATTER WHERE the player comes from. if you watch so much Coaches corner you would know that. racist is not the right word either. biased defines cherry. not racist.

Yeah, so? I'm also one of those guys that KNOWS that Malkin and Ovechkin ARE NOT better than Crosby. WTF kind of argument do you have over which one of those guys is better than the other two? Here's the reality: all 3 of them are GREAT, and there is not one that is better than the other.
This is the same stupid argument as "who's better between Gretzky, Lemieux, and Orr"... again, the answer is NO ONE. For god's sake, all 6 players mentioned play a different style!
Don knows hockey... period.

It's clear you didn't understand my point, so how about you give me 3 good reasons why I should waste my time with you anymore than what I already have?
Like I said, "I don't have a problem with you defending your FAVORITE player. But to say he's the best or better than other guys just because he's your favorite is just plain moronic." I also find it stupid to compare players who have different styles. You might not understand that yet, YodaLynnie, but hopefully in a few years, you will....

...and let me add a few things...
I don't have a problem with you defending your FAVORITE player. But to say he's the best or better than other guys just because he's your favorite is just plain moronic. I was a fan of Stevie Y growing up, but I still knew that Mario Lemieux was a more skilled player... does that make sense to you?
And I don't wanna hear nothing about Cherry going soft on Crosby 'cause he's Canadian: Before the kid even MADE the NHL, Cherry was on his ass, so.... whatever...

Oh ye, Fetisov one of the best defenceman ever, well balanced and with great skills.
Don Cherry often uses a role of a "Real Canadian Patriot", its not bad but sometimes strange...
He's very temperamental guy and sometimes says very good things (as exapmple about Steve Downie).
Sometimes strange thing - (Mats Naslund, Slava Fetisov)
Mario Lemieux is the best! :)

He didn't say that Canadians dont' do that. He's responding to press in Canada and the US basically saying Russian players can't do any wrong, and that none of them are cheap shots.
Slava Fetisov was a cheap shot. Federov was a diver, and Kasparitus wasn't all that innocent either.
We got our fair share of cheap shots too though I'm not disputing that.

Fetisov was the best defensemen in the world for like a decade. He's one of the 5 best defenseman of all time. His nhl career was just icing on the cake. THis guy was captain of the USSR Red Army team..he knows every trick in the book. Props to the first Red to come over and Props as always to Lou for drafting him

"Besides Bourque far outclassed him in every aspect."
Go watch Canada Cup 81, my friend. Bourque and his friends were out of position on all of CCCP goals. So much for the HHOF "quality".
BTW, Slava Fetisov beat Ray Bourque to his first Stanley Cup by 4 years, despite coming to NHL some 10 years later. And he has one MORE Stanley Cup ring than Bourque.
Vladdistar 3 years ago
One game doesn't win the war (which Canada Won and still winning).
Bourque wasn't a general manager, he was a guy who constantly signed under his value and the team never put together a good team for him.
Besides Orr is the best D-man to ever put a pair of skates.
That and these guys weren't under handed scum bags like Fetisov

Still winning what?
Canada lost to Switzerland in the last tournament where they iced an all-star team (2006 Olympics), not to mention the quarterfinal loss to Russia.
And it has been proven on a million occasions that the only way Canada could win vs. USSR was through biased officiating.
Agree on Orr though. Too bad his knees gave up so early in his career. IMO, he was a better player than #99.

There is no doubt that there are distinct differences between North American hockey and European hockey. North American hockey rewards toughness and discipline, while European hockey regards grace and finesse. This is what Don Cherry is saying when he rails against European players; and he's right to do so.
JeffGrim 4 years ago
I can't say which is the better method to play , but that is why I have always enjoyed watching European hockey of grace and finesse over the NHL's bruising charge.
HK83IE 4 years ago
I must admit that I do enjoy some European play; there is something to be said about finesse. But I have found over the years that European hockey has an aversion toward toughness. Hopefully that will end the more the two styles blend.
JeffGrim 4 years ago 2
Ovechkin vs. the Habs in 2007-08 NHL season signalled the dawn of the "New European" era.
Vladdistar 3 years ago
Finally - a fellow Canadian with some brains on this issue. Clark took numerous cheapshots at Fetisov (and even threatened him in the press prior to their first game against eachother). Fetisov was more in the mold of a Ray Bourque - would Clark be considered tough if he took cheap shots at Bourque (a non-fighter)? I don't think so. Clark basically had it in his (or Harold Ballard's) mind that he could rund Fetisov out of the league because he was Russian.
davevibc 4 years ago
So your saying Clark's a racist? Ya SURE. The fact is that even though Clark threatened him, Fetisov shouldn't go around high-sticking great players like Clark or Lemieux and just focus on his damn game.

Hey Clark is well known as a cheap shop artist. I remember in Minni he beat up Bob Brooke and would not stop punching even when he was down. I have never seen Clark stop punching even when the other was down. A real classless guy. But then what do you expect from an uneducated hick from SASK.
Listman11 4 years ago
If you're going to get into it with Wendel you better be prepared. Brooke was pushing and shoving with Wendel and then Wendel got the advantage quick. if memory serves me correct Maruk cross-checked Wendel in the face and you didn't see Clark rolling around on the ice. Wendel pound for pound the toughest ever!
Suprarush 4 years ago 4
Suprarush, why don't you address the issue of Clark continuing to punch a non fighter even when he is down. You and I both know that is a classless thing to do. If you remember Maruk did cross check him in the face and Clark just went off the ice. He did not beat up Maruk because he knew he deserved it for what he did to Brooke.
Listman11 4 years ago
I'm pretty sure Clark's was in retaliation to what Fetisov had done to him earlier in the season.
As for Dale, no one liked him anyways. He was a hack.
Don't be bashing Wendel though...toughest player to ever play the game.
