Canada's best-known hockey commentator says this country's gold-medal good luck will continue through the upcoming Paralympics.Don Cherry, of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, was a guest speaker at a Paralympic luncheon in Vancouver on Wednesday and the sportscasting legend said he's certain the Canadian sledge hockey team will join the men's and women's Olympic squads in winning the gold medal."You are going to win the gold," a supremely-confident Cherry told Canadian sledge hockey goaltender Paul Rosen, much to the delight of 400 people in attendance.The outspoken broadcaster, who shunned his usual wacky attire for a rather stylish suit, entertained the crowd with stories from his coaching days, including the greatness of Bobby Orr and the time Cherry was fired by the Boston Bruins.The Vancouver Paralympics will be the final Games for the 49-year-old Rosen. And, much like Cherry, he predicted he'll go out with a bang.
