NHL Twitter Funny: Don Cherry or Barry Melrose?

I created quit a stir tonight on Twitter after Game 4 between the Red Wings & the Penguins wrapped up. As my husband Brian and I were watching the post game show, he pipes up, "What the (H-E-double hockey sticks) is Don Cherry wearing?" I turn around and see he is "Donned" in a blue jacket with big yellow daisies randomly placed all over it. Daisies, really? Oh, my!

Before I tell you what my Tweet said, I need to clarify that I originally posted it as Barry Melrose. Sorry to get those two guys mixed up. They each have their own sense of fashion, if you can call it that.

Okay, so me, being the Twitter fool I am, decided that this would make for a very funny post:

WTH was Don Cherry wearing tonight? Oh, wait, that shouldn't surprise me...but really, daisies Dude? There's no flowers in hockey!!!!

The following is a list of the great re-Tweets and replies to my initial Don Cherry Tweet:

@MNHeadhunter @kellyschultz "There's no flowers in hockey!!!!" OMG, that is awesome (26 minutes ago from TweetDeck in reply to kellyschultz)

@ddahlen @kellyschultz Looks like Barry is just Don Cherry in training. (28 minutes ago from Power Twitter in reply to kellyschultz)

@TheFrogPad @kellyschultz well I hope you enjoyed the end of the Pens game! Hockey waaaaaay better than baseball IMHO (44 minutes ago from TwitterFon in reply to kellyschultz)

@kevinbinversie @kellyschultz Speak the true sister! #nhl (about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck in reply to kellyschultz)

Then I decided to make another "funny" but bring in the other hockey broadcaster who is known as being a spiffy dresser, Barry Melrose. So I Tweeted the following:

@kellyschultz Don Cherry or Barry Melrose...what's the difference, really? They are the fashionistas of the hockey broadcast world.

I got a few more replies...all of which made me chuckle:

@JamieMcCarty RT @kellyschultz Don Cherry or Barry Melrose...what's the difference, really? They are the fashionistas of the hockey broadcast world. (2 minutes ago from web)

@popstat @kellyschultz the difference is that my retinas don't get color-shocked when Melrose is onscreen :)(12 minutes ago from web in reply to kellyschultz)

@NJHockeyMom @kellyschultz hair vs jackets (16 minutes ago from UberTwitter in reply to kellyschultz)

@RedHouseMedia @kellyschultz Don Cherry wins in a heartbeat. Growing up in Gilbert he was our voice of hockey. And he always leaned to the Canadians (17 minutes ago from TwitterBerry)

And it didn't end there, I just couldn't resist replying to @ddahlen's comment above with the following Tweet:

@kellyschultz haha! Thanks, my hubby corrected me. Those 2 guys are like brothers separated at birth. Oops, sorry for my mix-up. LOL!

I never knew that bringing up Don Cherry or Barry Melrose would create such great laughs and get the response it did. Thanks to all for your replies and re-Tweets. You made my night!

And the Penguins made it interesting tonight with the 4-2 win. Series tied...I LOVE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS!!
