Habs' Forward Max Domi Says Don Cherry Is An Unbelievable Guy And He'll Always Love Him.
"It's been a couple of days filled with Don Cherry talk after his controversial comments over the weekend. Cherry was of course fired on Monday which has sparked lots of outrage and debate on social media. While NHL players and coaches said Cherry's comments weren't defendable or acceptable, one NHL player decided to show Cherry lots of love on Tuesday. Max Domi was close friends as a kid with Cherry's grandson Del and has found memories of Cherry. "I love Don Cherry. I always have, always will," Domi said on Tuesday. "He's a big reason why most of us play hockey. We grew up looking up to a guy like that, watching 'Coach's Corner' and stuff. It's unfortunate what happened, it's sad. He's a big part of hockey. That's all really we can say unfortunately nowadays."
"He was a family friend of mine and someone I looked up to," Max Domi said. "I will always look up to him. He's an unbelievable guy and what he's done for this sport is remarkable."Domi wouldn't comment specifically on Sportsnet's decision. "Like I said, it's unfortunate how everything unfolded," Domi said. "But 85 years old, that's a heck of a career. He'll always be remembered as one of the faces of sport."
What do you think of Domi's comments?"
