Don Freakin' Cherry!!!

He's on Sportscenter right now ... in all his pink suited glory. Will try and find a youtube clip or a picture at some point.

Gave some to the Flyers for playing a wide-open game versus the Flyers. Basically said they'd be out in 4 if they continued to play into Pittsburgh's style.

Talked about Malkin, Crosby, and the Pens outstanding chances to win it all. Mentioned that Ryan Malone is the key leader in the dressing room and heaped alot of praise on Staal.

In discussing the poor playoff attendance in Hockeytown, he called out Detroit's ownership for not putting a "rock 'em, sock 'em hockey team" on the ice because the fans live in a "redneck town". Very interesting, Coach. Either way, called them his Stanley Cup favorites.

Assessment? Bucigross threw him a few softball questions and Cherry fired off some good answers, though he was tame compared to HNIC standards. Good start, but it has plenty of room to get more interesting and exciting.

(and sincere apologies for no Eastern Conference preview).
