So....going back to Coaches Corner. Was Cherry basically saying he deserved to be slammed to the ice because he dared to demonstrate that he's a better player?
I don't think he blamed him more like he should of known it was coming kind of thing.

I think this is what Cherry was saying as well. Still doesn't excuse what Matheson did.

The entire narrative of Don's "he made Matheson look bad now he is going to pay" is utterly stupid.  This is professional sports.  If someone makes you look bad, then maybe play better or go do something else.
 
So Brown got more ice time than Tavares last night. I hope that never happens again.

Pursuing line match-ups with this much top-end talent is pretty nuts.

To be fair, he does have decades of evidence to draw from.

Retribution in various forms has been a part of hockey for as long as I've been alive. I think it's slowly starting to change.

Which brings me to the conclusion that Don Cherry is no longer relevant and shouldn't be given a platform to spew his nonsense.

Ratings suggest otherwise because if they were terrible, Don would be gone. Honestly tho, he just dangled a guy and now the opportunity presents itself for that guy to hit him. Most NHLer's would def take a shot at him. Matheson just crossed the line in may people's opinions.
