[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Once upon a time, I was sitting behind the visiting team and Cherry threw a water bottle at a fan and then started coming over the glass after the fan. The water bottle landed in my lap. I looked up and saw Cherry pulling himself up to come over and squired him in the face with water. It shocked him back into reality and he got down and went back to coaching. But a mean looking defensemam gave me the evil eye.

A few years later, I found myself in a Washington elevator with Cherry, Phil Esposito [wearing a full length mink coat] and Harry Sinden. A friend of mine says, "Hey Don, remember when that guy squirted you in the face with water? That's him," pointing to me. Cherry said "yeah, I remember!" and the three of them stared meanly at me. Then Cherry smiled and patted me on the back.

Don Cherry, a great Canadian.

Great story!

Grapes: A great Canadian.

I have his autobiography in hardcover which is difficult to find. God bless him, his and his dog blue autographed it!

Wouldn't sell it for anything.

Great story! That could be a Bud Light ad on Fox SportsNet.
