Ron MacLean Reveals the Inside Story of How Coaches Corner with Don Cherry Ended
Ron MacLean reveals a major story of how Coaches Corner on Hockey Night In Canada ended.
How Coaches Corner Ended
Ron MacLean and Don Cherry was the perfect 1-2 combination on Coaches Corner for years before it ended abruptly after some remarks from Don Cherry.
Recently, Ron MacLean spoke on the issue:
Grapes was good at reaching his viewer and knowing what they wanted � expert at that � but we are held to a different metric or standard now, and I don't know if we could have made it much longer, MacLean said on the podcast. So I'm glad Don went out and people aren't that mad at him for what he said. They should be � don't ever get me wrong. You can't project an attitude on people just because of where they're from. We were so wrong, and it just needed an apology and it would have been gone; we would have been onward and upward. But people aren't that angry about it. It wasn't the worst thing that's ever been said in the history of humanity, so he kind of went out on top and people miss him and I think that's kind of a nice way to be.
While many will not like what MacLean had to say about the issue, he was blunt and addressed the issue head-on.
Nonetheless, Cherry is still endeared by many and even though it has been years since he was on Hockey Night In Canada, he is still wanted deeply on the program.
