Don Cherry Post Game Interview 70's

Former Boston Bruins Coach Don Cherry lets loose his foul mouth after the Bruins loss in the Stanley Cup Finals. He shows complete disregard for censorship and live T.V. etiquette. The end result is pure hilarity.

[@mckessa17]

If my aunt had nuts she would be my uncle, too funny.

[@dzanier]

The question that guy asked about how a guy like Middleton would have really liked to have played the Rangers because they were his former team was absurd. For that matter, so would have Ratelle and Park. This is funny as hell though.

[@MrPunkforlife]

@@dzanier The reporter who asked that question passed away a few weeks ago. He was known as Big Jim Bay, one of the few white men to ever play with the Harlem Globetrotters. Saw him suit up back in 1973.... at the Montreal Forum. ( -_-)

[@Lava1964]

There was never a dull moment when he was coaching the Bruins.

[@BBQFanNo1]

If Don Cherry never was a hockey player and hockey coach he could have been a superb stand up stage comedian. He was years ahead of his time for making public comments such as these. I wonder if Andrew Dice Clay years later got his stand up ideas from Don Cherry post game interviews.

[@mikeducas66]

This wasn't actually a loss in the Finals. It was in 1979, in the semi-finals against the Habs. They led 3-2 with 2 minutes or so to play and they got a too many men penalty. Lafleur scored the equalizer on an epic slapper from right wing and Yvon Lambert sealed the deal in OT. You can recognize the CKGM microphone, which was an English-speaking radio station in Montreal at the time.

[@RIUUI007]

Yes, Boston did receive a too many men penalty at 57:26 into the game. But the score was not 3-2 Boston at that point. Boston led 4-3 at that time. After the penalty at 57:26, Montreal then tied the game at 4-4 at 58:46.

[@anthonymatter5478]

I'm an American residing in my hometown of Boston, so I might be a little partial to grapes. This guy is my all-time favorite, and I've been following hockey since 1970. Whoever owns the coaches' corner show should throw away his sissy scarf and grow a pair.. rainbow scarf

[@Tubewings]

Based on some of the comments in the video, I think this was actually from the 1979 semifinals (the series before the finals), the infamous "Too Many Men on the Ice" incident.

[@walruswasrob]

Game 7 was in Montreal. Do you really think the Montreal fans would have stood still if Boston had won that game without the penalty being called? They rioted in the 50’s when Maurice Richard was ejected from the game after a fight. Who knows how pissed off they would have gotten if the officials hadn’t made the call.

Now that is classic Don Cherry! Still hard to believe that Harry Sinden let him go after this series. Grapes got Boston into 2 final and should have been Champs his last year.

Even though he lost, it was one of his best games he played as a Bruin.

Well f-you and your unnecessary bigoted comment (frogs) ... Always glad to see Cherry lose. As for the refs : they actually tried to help the Bruins avoid the OBVIOUS too-many-men penalty! They didn't want to influence the outcome of such a huge game and when they noticed all 6 Bruins skaters, all well-involved in the action, none of them close to their bench... they actually yelled at one of the B's players :"get off the ice! you're too many!"
