If Foppa were born in Kelvington, Don would have loved him and called him "Petey".

even as a Wings fan, Forsberg wasn't "dirty." He was tough, strong as shit on the puck, and played a brand of hockey that shortened his career.

Forsberg & Cherry both Winners in different Leagues.Forsberg is the best player in the clutch & grab era. Cherry is the biggest joke in the same era.

Forsberg was awesome.

There's a story about Forsberg being Crosby's hero, and the first time Crosby played him, Forsberg took runs at him all game.

So what? We praise Scott Stevens for being the best hitter ever while destroying multiple greats careers and talk shit on Peter Forsberg for giving people scars? 2 differences. Forsberg was one of the most gifted hockey players ever when it came to toughness and skill and Stevens was a great defender that aimed to injure people. Why is Forsberg being bashed and I see zero vidoes on Cherry bashing Stevens. Its Canadian bandwagoning and all you guys are on the wagon. FOrsberg did get dirty at times but there is no way he should be compared to guys that are out there with the intent to injure. He played the game his way and sometimes people get hurt when you play his way (It's a very fast game). Not defending Forsberg or Stevens but the game was VERY different in the 90s and you had to do what you had to do to score. Forsberg figured it out for offense. Stevens figured it out for defense.

Talk about out of context! McCarthy, Shanahan, Maltby were giving cheap shots and those hits were Forsberg responding. I can’t remember how many times a redwing would go after Foresberg. Go watch the history of beef on the Avs and Redwings.

Don cherry likes Canadian boys 🤣

Little did Don know at the time ..... He had another ... "Backstabbing Little Weasel" sitting right next to him !! Ron The WEASEL Mclean !!!!

Forsberg was a bit dirty, especially agianst Detroit...! But that's how that rivalry was! Mean and dirty! He actually was "too dirty for his skills". He is, in my opinion, by far the best Swede and Eurpean ever and the third best ever behind Gretzky and Lemieux (he was probably better than Gretzky(as a complete player) but you have to respect the time difference and the points Gretzky put up!!!. He was dominant almost every shift and he put up amazing numbers on a second line and he showed up in the play offs and every time for Sweden in the Olympics, World Cup and World Championships!

Feels like don cherry is a bit butt hurt that he never reached the same level as a European player. Forsberg is the goat

6:54 Ron's face when Don nearly stays horseshit

Don should show Steve Yzerman butt ending Forsberg in the World Cup lol Forsberg lived and died by the gun thats why his career was cut short.

Forsberg was one of the best play making and clutch tough as nails power forward in the game.. yeah some of his checks were a bit uncalled for but check tape... he brought it all every game... HOF!!.

How many cups did Forsberg get? How many cups did Cherry get?

A bang bang play?! When Suter took the lumber to Kariya's jaw, it was a good second after Suter had just seen the puck go into the back of the net, and might as well have been before the game. A late hit during an intense game is one thing, trying to take off someone's head because they just made you look like you were standing around picking your nose is quite another.

Don Cherry was Skip Bayless before anybody heard of a "hot take". He just said stuff to cause controversy, not because he actually felt a certain way about someone.

Don needed to watch out for the "backstabbing little weasel" sitting beside him.

If Forsberg been canadian don would have loved him. Two of don's favourite players were doug gilmour and jeremy roenick. Forsberg was just as tough but way more skilled.

Cherry thought fighters were important to protect the stars. Forsberg took care of himself. It shortened his career. It was brilliant seeing a superstar dishing out and taking abuse without making noise about it. Forsberg big man, Cherry very small man.

I love cheery but forsberg is a guy who changed hockey like gtretzgy. He was one of the best. He was like the first cam Neely don eat that buddy.

Forsberg was high class, Cherry never was in anyway. "Backstabbing weasel" had actually been a better nickname for him than "Grapes".

Forsberg was a genius and a player who could take over a game, but he was also an incredibly dirty, nasty so and so, who had he not been on a team with so many tough players who could protect him, he would have had not been able to get away with half of what he did.

The Avalanche jerseys came with built-in bras.

"Watch Dougie get hit here, kids don't you ever do this, and watch Wendyl boy I love that Wendyl boy" such insightful analysis....

5:38 Right as Forsberg goes to hit him-Chelios turns away from him. You can see it clear as day if you watch it in slow motion. I don’t see how that’s “intent to injure”, unless you’re talking about Chelios trying to injure himself.

Don cherry is a clown

ez to be ballsy (Forsberg) when Claude Lemieux is on yer wing>

Peter the great

What he said about the stick throwing the goalies off is a valid point.

Don who?

To be fair he played dirty vs 2 notoriously dirty players in Shanahan and Chelios lol.

FN Peter had the skill of Wayne and the the hitting ability of Stevens..... Like Wayne said, "He the total package"... & I'm Candain too!.... cheers beers!!

Don with compliments for Ulfie he must be on acid.

lol Ron Maclean always trying to say something but Cherry doesn't know how to shut up.

Ehh... Jim Turner... Peter Forsberg is a member of Hockey Hall of Fame... what does that tell you? It allways amuses me to read what "experts" like you run your big mouth about... maybe you should keep some of your "expert opinions" to yourself... oh and by the way.... Mats Sundin 1346 games 1349 p is also in Hockey Hall of Fame... and they are both Swedes... and do i need to mention Niklas Lidström 1564 games 1142 p James Norris Trophy 7 times... and i can go on... there are several other great Swedish hockeyplayers... Daniel & Henrik Sedin... both Art Ross Trophy winners, Daniel Alfredsson 1246 games 1157 p, but i guess non of them can play hockey, in your opinion.... they all come from Sweden... and i suppose you know how tiny Sweden is, compered to Canada or USA... still we have 2 Olympic Gold medals, and have produced several world class players.... Canada have over 500 000 registered players, Sweden less than 70 000... So come on, my Canadian and American friends... doesn´t that deserve some respect !?!

The no-respect era of hockey... Thank you so much instigator rule.

those were from behind...

You cant say that Forsberg is ....

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJecZpSFppaxfHU.html Cherry is wrong with the Suter cheapshot: it was another concussion with a cross check to the jaw. Not exactly a "Bang bang play, that was nothing". Skip to 6:53 to see Kariya's point of view on such cheapshots.

Yep. Be like yzerman. Always. ❤❤❤

Most of the time he's just giving some back

I take Forsberg on my team any time,, plays with grit,, and a good team leadership..

BRING BACK DON CHERRY

This guy Don is a goofball

Has this guy ever said something that wasn´t meant for the headlines ? Did anyone take him seriously ?

Looks like Cherry is on here trying to defend his bullshit with the alias Jim Turner lol.

Coach's corner, the best hockey show ever!

Peter Forsberg is a legend!!! Don Cherry is a clueless old man.

Sadly Rudy replaced Cherry. Very Very Very sadly. What a watered down hockey wasteland hockey intermissions are now.

Well he's totally right here. Greetings from Sunny Sweden

This is why i cant respect Don. His bias against European or Russian players is annoying. Peter wasnt dirty, he was tough. As tough as any Canadian or American player. We all know if Peter was Canadian, Don would sing his praises. Same with Ovechkin.

Forsberg was a skilled player but he was very very dirty also.. Cherry is right !!

WTF U TALKIN ABOUT DON CHERRY, Forestburg did nothing wrong. Peter for president

Svennarna kritiserar ofta "de andra"

looked like a clean hit to me

Lol. Cherry is just butthurt that his mimico boy had to get some stitches. Boo-hoo.

I miss Don Cherry. We didn't know what we had when he was doing coaches corner. The way how CBC/Sportsnet got rid of him and on Rememberance Day was like rubbing salt into an open wound. Don Cherry was a cultural icon and I miss his edgy but truthful comments and his hockey knowledge. Now you have these woke commentators towing the line along with that communtist/marxist Ron MacLean. I will never look at Ron MacLean the same ever again, what a 2 faced p.o.s he is along with CBC/Sportsnet. This is to Don Cherry, if you ever read this comment, we miss you and it would have been good if you were able to retire with your job intact or on your terms or until CBC/Sportsnet was ready to move on after your contract was over. The silent majority still misses you and still respects you and supports your free speech and opinions about people wearing the poppy, which was the truth by the way. It seems these days that guys with Don in their name are truth tellers and not afraid to stick up for what they believe in.

cherry is the trump of hockey.

hahaha this Cherry guy is a joke

...Meanwhile he's in the H.O.F.

Forsberg was the same in the swedish league. He was good but also a dirty coward.

As a Wings fan, Forsberg WAS dirty. He ran like a bitch from fights and took guys' backs every chance he got. Dude didn't have to play so cowardly with the unreal talent he had. Cherry gets this one right.

Cherry is so right. Forsberg was super talented but was also one of the dirtiest players of the era. Anybody who doesn't think so is a homer fan of his or isn't old enough to remember.

Don doesn't even know he is a racist

They were dirty hits but I have no sympathy for Detroit. Be like Yzerman, useless in the playoffs. I'd Rather be like Sakic

Don is awesome... i hate forsberg. well i hate allmost all swedes but thats bechause im Finnish. Sorry
