Don Cherry Owns Matt CookeOn Coach's Corner. I have to say this is the first time in a while I'm in complete agreement with him. Cooke is a P.O.S. and I comment Cherry for calling him out on it:

Air Canada Delays Flight for Hockey GameVANCOUVER (Reuters) - Canada's largest airline has learned it sometimes has to take a back seat to the country's biggest sporting passion, ice hockey, the head of Air Canada said on Tuesday.

The airline was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because passengers watching the end of gold medal final on airport televisions ignored repeated calls to board.

"We incurred a flight delay for a reason Air Canada had not yet encountered in over 72 years of existence," chief executive Calin Rovinescu told a business gathering.

The Canadian fans were rewarded for their delay, as the nail-biting end to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics saw Canada beat arch-rival United States 3-2 in overtime.

This might be the most Canadian reason for delaying a plane ever.

The Anaheim Ducks and general manager Bob Murray are facing a lawsuit from a Michigan woman who claims she was injured by the GM during last year's NHL playoffs, reports TMZ.com.

Rachel Paris, 55, who says she was working as a TV broadcast stage manager at the time in Detroit, accuses Murray of smacking her with a chair following the Ducks' Game 7 Western Conference semifinal loss to the Detroit Red Wings on May 15.

According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Michigan, Murray "picked up a high back chair and struck (Rachel) thereby knocking (Rachel) to the ground."

She also names the Ducks in the suit because "they had a duty to ensure that proper measures and protocols were in place to help curtail Bob Murray's violent and aggressive nature."

Paris is demanding more than $75,000 in damages.

A Detroit Police report noted that Murray picked up a high bar stool and hit Paris on the left chest, arm and shoulder area. She was treated by first aid personnel.

Paris said in a phone interview to Fox Detroit last spring that Murray was apparently upset over her enthusiasm and used a stool on her to express his displeasure.

"I was taken to the boards by Bob Murray and survived the hit. I felt like I was cross-checked and I didn't even have the puck," said Paris.

At the time, Paris declined to file a formal police complaint.
