    How on earth was he set up to fail?  Having the best centre spine in the NHL last season?  They have stars throughout their forward group and a legit goalie in net.  He lost the team and it's on him.

    We can disagree. Roster as composed not one that has won come playoff time. Simply not enough grit. Barrie on defense a major fail to this point., Removing vets for low priced players pls error with backup goalie a few obvious problems.,  talking talent special teams power play and kill at this point a absolute mess. Matthews , Marner while talented still both much to learn.,. Tavares like Marner a tough seasons start with injuries. .,

    Ron MacLean will do regular pre game hosting in between periods , and after game as he always has . Likely will also do Olympic Coverage , plus the regular Sunday segment . He has become one of Canada’s most respected and liked personalities. What transpired was sad and unfortunate for all. There was not a winner apart from those who did not enjoy Don Cherry( which there were many who had their knives out ready.) A shame he did not finish the year.

    I don't think it's much of a thing there.  I dated an ethnically Ukranian (Russian by birth) gal for quite a while.  No one in her family was into hockey at all.  Soccer, on the other hand, was huge.

    This isn't unfair.  They should have gotten rid of him quite a while ago.

    Yes the very least after last season. He and his opinions are not new. Late in the game to be outraged now .

    Don Cherry has been Don Cherry the good and the bad for 40 years on HNIC. That they have chosen to end his time now speaks more to the bottom line than any real moral outrage and acceptability . Ending him midseason, a old man clearly past his time rather than seasons end clearly to shame, the shame on those who enabled him for so many years. Don Cherry was the same person each of the forty years he on the program. It’s my opinion they would have been better to voice what he said as not what company stands for and was his private opinion stated simply this would be Don Cherrys final season. What indignation they have was far to late .    
    Not a brave decision to toss a 85 year old man aside he clearly past his time

    A relic of another age.  Time to move on.

    I read some quotes from McLean on the matter and he said he owed the Canadian people an apology for not calling Cherry out when he made his remarks Saturday.  (So typically Canada when you think about it.)

    So if they decide to keep the Coach's Corner segment, who do you think the new Coach will be, and will McLean continue or will he end up going his own way?

    I think Brian Burke May be a easy replacement
