I think he's funny purely from an entertainment point of view...I'm not sure how they can replace him...but he's really annoying most of the time and talks a lot of crap about everyone who is not Canadian...meh I don't really care if he stays of goes...
Although I would love to see him and Ron McLain go at it for once cause they are always arguing...

I'm Russian and a big hockey fan. As much as he hates "Panikohousky" and the rest of the russian clan, I admit I still do enjoy watching the guy. He's an entertainer, pure and simple! CBC's ratings will suffer a big blow if they cut the guy

"Panikohousky"
I was laughing my ass off when he started with that...man he LOOOOVES Antropov and "Panikohousky"...
bah
he hates anyone who is not Canadian...but I had a really good laugh when he started a 100% Canadian OHL team with the Ice Dogs and they were dead last
They are doing better now as far as i understand but he doesn't own the team any more.
They cant lose ron or don.
it just wouldnt be HNIC without them. I dont know if I would watch intermission anymore. It would be channel surfing time.
face it, love him or hate him, the guy knows hockey, and loves to point out good plays. Who cares that he says inflamatory stuff..it makes him better.
keep him.

Big mistake for CBC to let go of Cherry. I think they are doing this because the majority of CBC watchers are in the older age bracket and most likely the ones who were offended by his off the wall comments. Without Cherry, i know i wont be sticking around for the first intermission. Im sure TSN or RSN will pick up Cherry in a heartbeat for instant boosts in ratings. Cherry is to hockey as Stern was to radio. Love him or hate him, youre likely to not flip the channel JUST to see what controversy he may start. Coincedently, both Cherry and Stern get the boot the same year (im blaming both on Janets nipple)
Save Don Cherry!!!!
