Don Cherry Worried That Post-Goal Hugs Are Becoming "Too Gay"

He shoots, he scores, they hug and celebrate. It's a familiar scene.

"It's fucking gay," said hard-nosed Don Cherry yesterday. "The NHL is turning into a faggot league. They want to get rid of fighting, and now the players are having orgies on the ice."

"Whatever happened to the manly handshake?" begged Cherry. "Even the baseball players keep the touching down to the classic high-five."

The Linesman interviewed a few players regarding the issue: "After a goal, that's the only time we touch each other. I like it, it's a special moment. We don't even come close to each other any other time. So I don't see anything wrong with it," said Darcy Tucker of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

"Hugging makes me look gay?" said a confused Samuel Pahlsson.
