The reason I even remember this is he also claimed he'd join the picket line once some mysterious health condition was dealt with which lmao

How do I shot puck!?

The hell is body checking riskier than sitting on a bench next to a bunch of spitting, hard breathing dues for ~40 minutes a game?

This is one of those stupid ideas that somehow gets traction but we all know is bullshit. Security theater if you will. Either play the games or don't. But yeah I'm not sure how checking is bad = covid

But three guys digging a puck out of the corner for 12 seconds is good.

Man I didn't really know anything about Tibbets, this guy is a tremendous rear end in a top hat lol


quote:

Tibbetts was arrested in August 2007 for leading police on a high-speed car chase, not long after having led police on a different high speed chase earlier in 2007.

In 2019 he served 58 days for violating his probation, then pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal harassment against the Scituate police chief and the chief's sister, and one count each of violating a harassment prevention order, intimidating a witness and driving with a suspended license. Shortly after being released, he was arrested on new drug charges.

It’s amazing how any time he gets brought up, he is ALWAYS just going back to jail after getting out. And rather telling that that’s just his post-career legal trouble instead of everything during his playing days.

He also has an Instagram page where it’s just videos of him going on about everyone who’s wronged him, including him at his own arraignments. He needs some serious help.

I'm really struggling to picture the potential Republican voter who would be persuaded by a Canadian hockey commentator. It'd have to be like ten dudes in the UP.

You have to be an absolute dumbass to get suckered in by a conservative businessman, after Alan Eagleson, who also was a conservative politician.

Just do a short winter season on outdoor bodies of water. Ottawa can skate on the canal, Peterborough can skate by the lift locks, Sudbury can skate on any flat surface.

?? I was talking about Cherry - the only Americans I could imagine giving a poo poo about him are old farts who fondly remember his coaching career.

Anyway, if there's one silver lining to this year so far (there isn't), it's gotta be not having to hear from or about Don Cherry. 🍒!
