It kind of sad to say but Coach's Corner this hallmark CBC Hockey Night In Canada jumped the shark. More precisely Don Cherry is doing the jumping. His bitching about PK Subban feel more like the moaning of a Leafs or Bruins fan complaining about the supposed lack of a respect of a future NHL superstar. Sore losers make for bad commentator and it fair to say Don would be a fan of Subban if only he did not happen to play for the Habs! Add to that the fact that Coach's Corner rarely if ever talk about the games going on in front of them and it getting old fast. Not to mention the constant patriotic masturbation we have to suffer every time one of our a soldiers get blown up in Afghanistan. By the way I support the troops by demanding that we get them the fuck out of there ASAP. That a lot more honest than the pandering bullshit served by Don S Cherry every other Saturday night!
I think it time the CBC put Cherry, McLean and Bob Cole on the proverbial floating Iceberg. I suggest Coast to Coast with Kelly Hrudey and Mike Milbury could use a promotion to a more ungodly time slot!
For a little background Jumping the shark is an idiom used to denote the point in a television show history where the plot spins off into absurd storyline or unlikely characterizations.

"Sore losers make for bad commentators" - well said. And Don Cherry using Mike Richards' nonsense and goonery to back up his own nonsense is just beyond stupid.
This is why I switched to RDS last night. I don't know how Ron McLean refrains from punching Cherry in the mouth. There are moments it looks like he wants to - badly. Not sure I'd put McLean on the iceberg, but the other two - yeah.
Bob Cole can no longer even tell which team is taking the penalty and which is going on the power play. He's older than dirt. Time for him to retire.
Good read.
