Preach it, Brother Don!

Don Cherry has jumped to Gretzky's defence.

Balance is being restored to the universe.

Some quotable quotes from tonight's Coach's Corner:

"It's absolutely ridiculous when you see what they've done to this guy," said Cherry, holding up newspaper headlines about Gretzky in his weekly Coach's Corner segment on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada.

"All this here is beyond the pale and I feel so sorry for him. He did not do anything wrong."


To re-iterate: The Great One has done nothing wrong.

"This is a tough time for Gretzky. This has been a tough year," a reference to the deaths of his mother and grandmother.

Authorities have said they do not intend to charge any bettors because placing a bet is not illegal.

There was no indication that any wagers were made on hockey games, and no evidence Gretzky placed any bets, investigators said.


For the mentally challenged members of the press, let us repeat that: Wayne Gretzky has done nothing wrong. So back the f@$k off!

And the last word goes to Don Cherry:

"Go over there and win gold and stick it in [the media's] ear."
