Don Cherry broadcasts NHL playoffs in US

[billhoward]

News blurb says Don Cherry will team with Brett Hull to broadcast Stanley Cup playoff games on NBC. Says Cherry: "A lot of people have written that what I say up here [Canada], I would never get away with it down in the states." We're about to see. Personally, I'm dying to see the Cherry wardrobe in high-definition.

I, on the other hand, am looking forward to Brett's blue eyes and dimples . I hope NBC will let Brett and Don banter without any restrictions (besides the 7 dirty words)::popcorn::.

Cherry needs to remember to not tell Newfie jokes. The offend the Newfoundlers and Americans don't understand them.

Will NBC fire him if the NAANL (National Association for the Advancement of NewfoundLanders) protests?

Cherry would argue advancement would be impossible for those poor folk. PS - PM any of the players if you need a running supply of Newfie jokes.
