Canadian NHL commentator Don Cherry ins't new to flaunting overly-flamboyant suits during his 37-year commentary career.

However, the 83-year-old has caused somewhat of an online stir over the weekend by donning a blood-splattered jacket during the clash between Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers in Game 6 of the first round Stanley Cup play-offs.
