I thought there were seven, but the "Greatest Generation" has been aging.

We enjoyed Grapes when he coached the Bruins in the late 1970's. What a character! And who could forget Blue? Definitely a man of opinions, which resulted in the same fate as all Bruins coaches with a brain...Sinden gave him the axe.
Go Don!

At the start of the Iraq War in early 2003, Cherry loudly supported the Americans, while co-host MacLean defended Canada's position of noninvolvement, which, to Cherry, equaled nonsupport of an ally. The raucous debate lasted an entire Coach's Corner segment in March of that year and became a national news story.I love Don Cherry. I don't always agree with him, but it's hard not to stop and listen when he's speaking.

It's too bad they used so Getty photos and they can't be posted here. It's worth checking out the article just for the quotes on the pictures.

"I've been trying to tell you people for so long about the Russians, what kind of people they are, and you just love them in Canada with your multiculturalism," he scolded. "They're quitters and evidently they take a lot of drugs, too."

That one just about made me shoot my green tea at my monitor!

I didn't know there was a Hershey Center in Toronto! My home ice is Hershey, PA!

I'm going to have to plan a summer vacation to the Hockey Hall of Fame!

Thanks so much for posting this article. I have to say, Canadians are just about the nicest people out there, and I envy their allegiance to hockey. Wish it could be that way here in the U.S.

It just stupifies me that people would rather watch baseball on TV than hockey. What am I missing? It's like watching paint dry. OK, don't get me started.

GO SABRES!!!
