Kid attends game dressed as Don Cherry
Spotted in the stands during Friday night’s Jets-Penguins tilt was this mini Don Cherry, ably played by Kelly Thornhill of Winnipeg.

CBC’s Ron MacLean compares hockey players to 9/11 first responders
CBC host Ron MacLean’s opening for Game Six between the Rangers and Capitals failed miserably tonight. He mentioned that New York City and Washington were the two targets for September 11, 2001 and should have stopped there.
