Don Cherry Rant on Pavel Bure 1995 Coach's Corner

Broadcast Date: March 27, 1995

Saturday night's all right for fighting, at least on Coach's Corner. An irascible Don Cherry regularly uses the popular commentary segment (appearing during Hockey Night in Canada game intermissions) to blast any player who gets his back up. This week's target is Pavel Bure, the subject of a nasty contract negotiation rumour. Defending the Russian superstar is his coach, Pat Quinn, who more than matches Cherry's bile. As we see in this montage of their separate interviews, tempers quickly flare.

He's not a racist. He just hates Russians.

Quinn is all class.  It'spathetic that Cherry is obstinate about it.

It's 2012 and Don Cherry is still on CBC. Just retire already, old man.

Don Cherry makes Canadians look bad, it would be nice if someone could stitch his mouth shut or if we could banish him to Boston where I am sure they would love him.

I loved watching Bure, but definately got the vibe that he wasn't the truest player to his team, I could definately see him leaving for not getting enough dough

Racist fuck up

[MrCanuck009]

I usually like Don Cherry... but he's such an idiot sometimes "let me say one thing wrong..."... yes, if you spread false information on national TV, you'll probably have someone say something to you about it, why is that surprising?
