Canada V. US in Hockey: What Exactly Is Don Cherry’s Tie Made Of
Posted by Jonathan in ALL on 02-28-10 No Comments
There are some sports tech questions that even I have no answer for. And as we gear up for Canada v. the United States in the Olympic hockey gold medal game, the question is: What elements are Don Cherry’s tie’s made of?
For those new to Canadian hockey, Cherry is the Chris Collinsworth of the sport: Bringing color, analysis, insight and did we say, color to Canada’s national pastime. But considering the colors Cherry actually generates with his dudes, its fair to ask if] Cherry has a lead lined underwear. From here, I figure his outfits are blend of plutonium and iridium. With just a touch of hidium … That’s the ugliest element in the periodic table.
Long live Don.
