Coach's Corner on HNIC: Exclusive Don Cherry S45 Draft Special

[Daniel 565]

A special S45 draft edition of Coach's Corner, with Don Cherry.

 

"Well, it's this time once again ladies and gentlemen, we're here in the offseason, I'm back watching the jays and the draft's coming up. You all know I'm a Tronna Reign guy, I own season seats, I walk the walk ever since I was a little boy, but I gotta tell you, the Legion need to learn their lesson this year and do one thing right; draft some Canadian kids! Even Ron knows that we make the best hockey players in the world; you gotta take 'em just on principle! I can tell you, if I had the choice of picking an Ontario kid like Paul Bissonnette or a loser Swede like Sundin, well, you know where I'd be leaning.

Now I know a lot of you have criticised me for this in the past, all you folks out there that've never played the game, but back when I coached the Boston Bruins I learned one thing; I'd rather lose like a good Canadian than win like a cheating European. Now don't get me wrong, I love winning, don't forget, I won the Calder Cup THREE times with the Springfield Indians (how many Europeans can say that?), but the kids growing up in Tronna are never going to play for the Region because they always pick the little Swede or German and it's an insult to anyone whoever stepped on the ice! Don't get me wrong here folks, Alistar Grim is a good player but he's not great like a Canadian, and the same goes for all the Latvians and Swedes they have there too, a crying shame I tell you. These kids are growing up playing hockey in Tronna but they're never gonna play for the Reign! It's simple, draft some Ontario boys and you'll never lose!"
