Don Cherry Interview 1987 Soviet Union Canada Hockey Fight

Blame the Russians! That's Don Cherry's reaction to the bench-clearing brawl between the Canadian and Soviet world junior hockey teams in Piestany, Czechoslovakia in 1987. Canada was going for gold, leading 4-2. Then a fight broke out, both benches emptied, and a 20-minute fracas erupted. Former NHL coach Don Cherry, always lenient on hockey violence, applauds the Canadian players. In this clip, he tells sportswriter Michael Farber that sacrificing a medal to fight the Soviets was simply "our Canadian way."

Thank you Don Cherry! Faber's take on it is complete bullshit, go to the bench? How are you going to manage to do that when there are Russians baring down on you trying to fight. Give me a fucking break.
