from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
During his Hockey Night in Canada spot, he insisted he was against keeping a player in the lineup for the sole purpose of lumbering onto the ice and, with a wink and nod to his counterpart, starting a fight.
“I never believed in having a mad dog sit on the bench and have two or three shifts, and go out there and fight,” he said. “That’s not hockey.”
In the wake of the Don Sanderson tragedy, is Cherry softening his position?
Perhaps, but he made it clear that he feels fighting is permissible and necessary as long as the right guys, which is to say real players, are throwing the punches.
