from CBC Sports,
Cherry said the National Hockey League must institute no-touch icing precisely because Foster was forced to do what he did.
“Look, if you want to wear a visor, you can wear a visor, that’s your choice,” Cherry said to host Ron MacLean. “If you want to fight, you can fight, that’s your choice.
“[Foster] had no choice.... If he doesn’t go in, he’s chicken, and it’s too bad, what was he going to do? Hold up and let the guy go in? He has to go in, and that’s too bad.”
Update 10:07pm ET: Foster is currently healing, post-surgery. Below, we’ve added Youtube footage of Don Cherry’s complete comments on the matter:

Jim Fox had a take on this during the Kings-Dallas game tonight. He was for the no touch icing, but allowing refs to make a judgement call and wave it off. His preference was to whistle intentional icings and allow icing via a bad pass to be waved off.
