What happened to CBC's 7-second delay?

I thought CBC instituted a 7-second delay after Don Cherry went off on French-Canadian visor-wearers. Thanks to 'Nucks and Pucks reader pete for reminding me in the comments of a previous post that the 7-second rule was not in effect during the Penguins post-game celebrations after capturing the Cup (Warning: some PG-13 language):



Aside from the obvious "Marc-Andre Fleury said WHAT?!?" moment, there are a few things that strike me as amusing from this clip:
  • Scott Oake's response to Fleury's slip-up was "Fair enough." What, no "Marc-Andre, we're on live..." à la Shaquille O'Neal?
  • Is it me, or is someone cackling madly in the background at Fleury's cussing?
  • And finally, what the hell was the deal with Scott Oake's cheesy "Who do you share this Cup with?" question? He asked it to every freakin' Penguin on the ice or in the locker room. Yeesh, how cornball. Wonder if he went up to Lidstrom or Osgood afterward and asked them with whom they share this devastating, heartbreaking loss.
Thanks to pete for inspiring this post!
