WARMINGTON: Don Cherry shrugs off Tara Slone's cheap shot

Three years after his dismissal from Hockey Night in Canada, Don Cherry — at 88, still a figure of stubborn cultural gravity — found himself at the centre of a minor public skirmish when former Hometown Hockey co-host Tara Slone called him a bigot on Twitter.
