Almost Hockey Night Roadkill

Last night just prior to the second game on Hockey Night in Canada, commentators Scott Oake and former NHL goalie Kevin Weekes were giving their thoughts on the upcoming game between the San Jose Sharks and the Edmonton Oilers.

As usual, this was taking place at the opening in the boards where the Zamboni will enter and exit the ice for cleaning.

It just so happened that they were on the air as the big machines were leaving the ice and had to make a move to avoid being resurfaced themselves.

Not only was it a good job to move out of harms way but Weekes shows his professionalism by continuing his thoughts on the match-up while Oake tried to hop in the lap of a season ticket holder.

Cherry For Prime Minister

OK, maybe it would be considered going a little overboard if I actually wanted Don Cherry to be the next PM of Canada but just take a moment to think about what that could be like. My goodness, could you imagine having a politician in Ottawa who actually cares about our country and the citizens who live here.

One thing is sure, Cherry would make sure Canadians are taken care of first before we start helping everyone else in the world. He'd make sure our Armed Forces wanted for nothing and he'd make watching Question Period in the House of Commons more interesting than it has ever been.

Love or hate Don Cherry you can't deny he is a true Canadian and wears his patriotism on his sleeve. He loves Canada.

I remember back in 2002 during the Salt Lake Winter Olympics he took some time to remind hockey fans just how great Canada is at our National game.

Here's a clip from the Coach's Corner broadcast during the first intermission of the Gold Medal game where Cherry highlighted some of Canada's memorable moments.
