Don Cherry: Reaction to Milan Lucic's handshake threat to Dale Weise 'much ado about nothing'
The hockey world was abuzz Wednesday when it was reported that Boston's Milan Lucic uttered a threat to Montreal's Dale Weise in the post-Game 7 handshake line, saying "I'm going to [blank] kill you next year."
Coach's Corner star Don Cherry chimed in on the incident Thursday, appearing to downplay Lucic's actions.
“It’s much ado about nothing,” the Cherry told CBC News. “He shouldn’t have said it, but he just lost the seventh game. That's the feeling between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins. There’s no love lost there, that’s for sure.”
Cherry also pointed the finger at Weise for seemingly telling on Lucic once the dust had settled. “I’m a little disappointed in Weise [for] saying anything [about it],” Cherry said. “‘Oh, here I am, the victim.’ So what, [Lucic] said it. You think a lot of things haven’t been said in those handshakes and that?”
Just another day at the office for Grapes.
