Quint Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Ron ("Judas") MacLean recently made comments about Don Cherry's departure from the amazing decades-long feature "Coach's Corner" on HNIC. In my view, MacLean betrayed Cherry by not sticking up for him, and apparently still doesn't to this day. But he's still there and Cherry isn't. https://www.bladeofsteel.com/Ron-Maclean-breaks-his-silence-on-how-Coaches-Corner-came-to-an-end-267550 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I have a hard time being objective about Don Cherry because some of his antics led to direct threats on my cousin's well-being, but MacLean owes him big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him for a while, but to me Cherry had an act that wore a bit thin. I know others loved him, and I watched him for years but once he was off HNIC I didn't really miss him. I guess I just didn't think he was objective enough. For the most part the 'good ole canadian kids' were the best players, could do not much wrong, but if you were from overseas someone better help you big time if you made one mistake in his eyes. Again, he knew his audience (it was hockey night in CANADA), but I prefer a little more objectivity and less homer-ism.

To be frank his shtick did get annoying, but I certainly feel he got betrayed by the very man he stood up for multiple times. It’s a rather sad story to be honest; Cherry was banished for being overly demonstrative on questionable topics while his former cohost goes politically correct and keeps his role by throwing him under the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either failed to read the room, or knew the room and did what he did anyway. He was self destructing. Mclean did the only think a smart individual would do, he distanced himself from someone who either refused to accept the room changed, or was determined go down in flames to spite the room. Mclean would have been supremely stupid to follow Cherry down the path of ruin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
