How Don Cherry has gone offside over the years
Clips of Don Cherry's past controversial moments on Hockey Night in Canada over the years.
#1 @0:01 This clip is in reference to Chicago Blackhawks’ defenceman Duncan Keith making what some termed a sexist comment in a post-game interview with Vancouver broadcaster Karen Thomson of Team 1040. Cherry argued the reporter shouldn’t have been in the dressing room to begin with.
#2 @0:22 this clip from 2007 was in reference to Islanders' player Chris Simon, who is Ojibwa, receiving a 25-game suspension.
#3 @0:38 In May, 1993, Quebec MP Vincent Della Noce calls for the House of Commons to censure Cherry for “taking a malicious pleasure in ridiculing francophones.”
#4 @0:49 In October, 1991 he sparks anger among Quebec politicians when he defends Eric Lindros’ decision to shun the Quebec Nordiques: “They don’t want our signs . . . they don’t want our language and then they can’t understand why an 18-year-old kid from Ontario doesn’t want to go there. Get with it.”
#5 @1:18 “When you come to the games, keep your eyes on the puck. I’m telling ya, I’ve seen some awful smacks, and it’s always a woman yapping away there. Look at the game,” Cherry said in this undated clip.

The so-called cake ATMs can barely keep up with demand. Each machine holds 160 slices, which sell for $8.99 each. All three machines — in the food courts of Waterpark Place, the Royal Bank Plaza and Richmond-Adelaide Centre — have been selling out by 2 p.m.
Read food critic Amy Pataki's thoughts on the cake:

#TBT: More than 3,000 people lined up in below-freezing temperatures every day—some for two hours—outside the University Theatre on Bloor St. to see the classic horror flick The Exorcist when it premiered on Boxing Day 1973. Here’s a highlight from our coverage:
“We called the ambulance four times Monday night,” said theatre manager Henry Marshall. "Epileptics are having seizures; men and women are fainting trying to get out into the lobby; and maybe 50 people walked out before the ending last night, but all this has been happening right along since the movie opened.” Metro policemen are on hand as they have been at other local movie houses that draw sizeable lineups, to ensure orderliness in the street; and one policeman is posted inside every day.
