commentary...

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Don Cherry,who people see most Saturdays,on Hockey Night in Canada,said that the Red Wings are not tough,because they simply do not fight,in games... he noted that the New York Rangers,who lead the NHL,in fighting majors,but are behind the Red Wings,in total points,and he mentioned the Boston Bruins,who he coached,in the 1970's... sometimes,he misses the point of fighting majors... most of the time, they are used to give the team momentum,if down a goal,or two,and sometimes they are done,between players,who are just known to fight,and they go at it very very early,to just do it... it(fighting)has been done right off the opening puck drop,and people tend to love it... my opinion:Cherry,who can be a blowhard,is an advocate,for player safety(concussions,and such)just stepped into a pile of it,because the Red Wings may not fight(they are tied for last,with thirteen fighting majors,with the Carolina Hurricanes),but they will fight,if pushed,and still beat your team,quite handily... i agree with Cherry about player safety,which should be improved,but Don,you may not like the Red Wings,and you tend to "worship" the Toronto Maple Leafs,or even the Bruins,a little too much(CBC almost always has the Maple Leafs playing,and until recently,losing,on HNIC)... Don,just try to be a little more balanced in your commentary... by the way,if you think i am not balanced,in my blogs,let me remind you that my blogs are mostly a Red Wings' blog,and i have a Green Bay Packers' blog,but on this blog,i talk about the beautiful game of hockey,but with a Red Wings' tilt,but i do really criticize the Red Wings,when they need it,like their middling road record,with 15-15-1,it should improve,but the Red Wings have basically stunk on the road,this season... they have improved lately,on the road,but the record is what the record is,people,and it is not too good,period...
