Don Cherry says: "Russians have no class, no honor"
 

TORONTO ? Don Cherry says the Russian hockey team has ?no class? after it snubbed the Canadian national anthem at the world hockey championships.

Canada downed Russia 6-1 on Sunday to capture its first gold medal at the tournament since 2007, and most of the Russian players quickly departed for the dressing room before the signing of O Canada.

?No class, no honour, they left the national anthem,? Cherry said on his Coach?s Corner segment during the first intermission of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final. ?We were the ones that stayed there ? we stood while they won, and they walked off the ice. They?ve got no class whatsoever.?

Russian news agency TASS reported on Monday that the Russian team is facing sanctions for leaving the ice before the anthem, which is a breach of the sport?s etiquette.

Grapes is pissed.

I thought the rink looked a little empty on one side during the post-game ceremonies.

He's not wrong though, there's a certain code of respect and etiquette to this game that certain others just don't seem to understand.

Pretty shameful.

Don't worry it's just another thing for Russians to blame the West for.. They would have class if it wasn't for the US, the evil nazi caplisit pigs have stolden their class and they must fight to get it back. :1orglaugh

Sportsmanship is universally understood. There is no excuse for being immature dicks. Russians famously act like petulant children.

If there's one thing I can be sure of is that Russians are pricks. I lots of empirical evidence from first-hand experiences.

Russians are a lot like Americans, we just don't like to admit it.

Its like two really big perfect mushroom head cocks, each with strong manly veigns. One is cut, the other is uncut. Which is better? In the end they're both big dicks.

:2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup

it was just a leadership issue. any coach/captain worth anything would have got those guys back on the ice.

kinda odd to lump a whole country in a bad light for the actions of a few guys on skates though.

Interesting analogy but in the end...while they might both be big dicks, I always go for the uncut one. :thumbsup

This, Russians are world famous for this.

Do you actually know any Russians? in every thread i see your posts sounding like someone who has no REAL first hand experience. Go back to reading your internet sites.

Totally agree with you. However there are stupid people who love to generalize (e.g. all Russians can't admit their faults, all Americans are fat imbeciles, all Jews are greedy, all Greeks are lazy and so on...)

This explains A LOT

товарищ :thumbsup

Yes those people are divisive. It's unfortunate, but a fact, that as a community we have to keep reminding them that people are individuals.

he is not wrong in this case...That team of Russians showed a major lack of class

Why don't the Russian players that showed class get any credit from you?

"..most of the Russian players quickly departed.."

It reads as if some stayed and showed class.

In other news: water is wet

We won, who gives a fuck about some sore losers. To me there's much more important news in the world than this

throwing stones is not what men do. like saying all americans eat like pigs

It's true

Yes, 6 or 7 stayed. Ovi was trying to get all to stay. Kovalchuk was urging all to leave. Ovi, Malkin, Taresenko and a few more stayed. Mostly NHL guys

BTW, I didn't find any good video of this on youtube. Could someone please give me a link?

you are a true tard! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh they didnt have paper stamps when obama was elected!

Agriculture department?? To support starving farmers?

US government departments haven't been renamed since the Great Starving and Who Remembers What Other Stuff?

A video of russians acting classless?
Step 1:
Stand in front of a mirror
Step 2:
hold up mobile phone with video capabilities (im not sure if they have these in russia yet)
Step 3:
begin recording yourself
Step 4:
Re watch classless russian video

You live as a moron and you'll die as a moron. You're hopeless, sorry :2 cents:

all putin's fault

i heard obama is calling in conference meeting with merkel and hollande to discuss more sanctions towards russia after this horrible incident...

I was not aware that the Russia men use figure skates while playing hockey?
Is this a normal thing in your country?

Don always tells it like it is,quite the character

That's very unclassy of them indeed. But has nothing to do with Russia. It's about a few sore losers that will be sanctionned anyway. End of Story!
But I hate say that Don cHerry is right....sometimes

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the members of their team, not the whole country.

Funny thing is, is I thought maybe Don Cherry had been hanging around GFY.

That was just me seeing if anyone would actually read the article.

The "Russians" being referred to were obviously their team members, not the whole damn country. Says so right in the article which quotes DC directly.

that did show lack of class :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

They should ban Kovalpuke from international play for life for orchestrating the whole thing. Funny it was Ovi and the 3 or so Russians that stuck around who showed class.

yea this is what i heard.. seems a bit like misunderstanding/bullshit

and we won anyway
