Riots in the streets. Booing American anthems. Pouring beer on opposing players in the penalty box.
If I EVER hear another Canadian look down condescendingly on Americans I will point them to the fine city of Montreal which suddenly forgets to act with any dignity or class during a lousy hockey game. Isolated or not. Mind you, this happens just a tad too often for my taste.
So. On the heels of the Montreal hockey riot (I still have to get to this on a blog post) Don Cherry defended Quebec police and described them as "the toughest in the world." He then proceeded to scold writers for not putting Carey Price on the rookie of the year ballot. And he was wearing a Montreal Canadiens tie.
Some may claim this is a ploy. Bah-hum-bug. Everyone knows Cherry doesn't do things he doesn't believe.
I'm not surprised by any of this. Here in Montreal we tend to be a tad sensitive. We ignore all the times he says positive things and get all bent out of shape when he dares criticize us. Then we write in our little columns about how nasty he is.
If these journalists have an ounce of fairness in them they would point this out.
Yeah right.
They won't and that leaves us bloggers to balance things out a little.
