While watching Coaches Corner on May 3, I noticed that Don Cherry's floral coat was the exact same print as my kitchen chairs.

I recovered the chairs in this print partially so they wouldn't show food stains. Is this the same reasone Don wore his jacket?

I do have pictures of the chairs if you are interested.

Well, that's all for now. Love the hockey just wish Oilers were in it.

Take care

I'm with you Grapes! When Thornton was with the Bruins, he was often criticized for their underachieving in the playoffs. It usually turned out that he'd been playing through an injury. In spite of that, he was traded to the Sharks, where he has made a huge contribution to their turn around. It would be fantastic if he leads them to a comeback after an 0-3 deficit. By the way, the first coach to do so was the Leafs' Hap Day---who settled in St Thomas (Thornton's home town) after
his retirement from hockey. Perhaps a connection? Whatever happens in the rest of the series, Joe's a terrific player and a classy guy.

After joining CBC in 1986, MacLean hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs' telecasts on CBC’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA, before becoming the full-time national host in 1987.
