Image of the Week

NHL.com's Frozen Moment

This week's image, pirated from NHL.com, portrays hockey idol Don Cherry performing a ceremonial puck drop before last week's Toronto-Boston throwdown. Cherry, famous for his insensitive comments and taste in suits (Don Cherry and Barry Melrose, best broadcasting combination ever), is a hero to all Canadians (In 2004 he was voted #7 Greatest Canadian.) and therefore, all true hockey fans. To put it simply, if you don't know who Don Cherry is, you are not a hockey fan. End of discussion.

Cherry has led a long and storied life. Because there is simply too much to discuss on an Image of the Week post, I will promise you, my devoted followers (click link in sidebar on the right to follow me), a more in-depth look into Don Cherry's life sometime in the near future.

Special thanks to the Caboose for alerting the guru of this fine image.
