Typical English jokes. The only funny one they've ever come up with is their cooking. 😀

Better than "cook until grey". Btw, what's with the Kowarski reference? I Googled it and I still have no idea what it means.

oops, I spelled his name with a W instead of an H....

Koharski's career was on smooth ice until that 1988 Bruins-Devils playoff game. Upset over what he perceived to be Koharski's questionable calls during the game, Devils coach Jim Schoenfeld verbally accosted Koharski beneath the stands. "Have another donut, you fat pig!" Schoenfeld yelled in full view of a TV camera broadcasting live across the U.S.

The NHL suspended Schoenfeld for his antics. The Devils responded by filing a restraining order asking the court to lift the suspension. Incredibly, it was granted minutes before the start of the fourth game of the series, on Mother’s Day in New Jersey.

When Koharski's officiating colleagues heard Schoenfeld would be behind the Devils’ bench, they refused to work the game. The NHL quickly turned to three amateur off-ice officials. Two of them didn’t even have their own striped sweater, so the trio had to wear yellow practice jerseys; hence the game’s tag line as “Yellow Sunday.”

While the incident is brought up almost every day by fans, Koharski says Schoenfeld has apologized publicly many times for the incident and wrote letters of apology to Koharski and his family.

Ahh...hey, on Wikipedia it says this incident was parodied in Wayne's World. Which part was that? The only thing close I can remember is the Stan Mikita's Donuts bit, but I thought that was a parody of Tim Horton. 😕
