Don Cherry brainwashed the people of Canada to hate other countries! Lunatic Cherry claiming players from USA Finland Russia CzechRepulic Sweden Slovakia are Ilegal aliens not good! Scum bag Cherry said Auston Matthews is missing the net his many shots! Matthews higher shooting average than Connor McDavid! In 1980s NHL 8 goals per game! Today only 6 goals per game! Matthews have scored 54 goals in 63 games this season! If Matthews had played In 1982 he would had scored over 100 goals easily beating Gretzky's 92 goal record! Ovechkin ERA only 5,3-6 goals per game! If Ovechkin had played high scoring 1980s he would had scored over 1200 goals easily! Canada have 650000 hockey players! Ovechkin's Russia under 100000 hockey players! Canada should have 7 guys who have scored over 800 goals like Ovechkin! Canada 650000 players! USA have 500000 players! CzechRepulic 100000 players! Russia under 100000 hockey players! Finland 73000 players! Sweden only 65000 players! Canada Lost bsdly olympics in 2006! Sweden won! Canada ten times More players than little Sweden and you lose! CzechRepulic won in 1998 olympics! Canada 7 times More players than CzechRepulic and you can not beat the!!
hockey night in canada wont be the same without these two, Ron MacLean and Don Cherry have been there for ever ive watched them for as long as i can remember and seen em get older, don cherrys wacky ties and Ron MacLean setting cherry up just a beautiful mix. Thanks for being the intermission entertainment i enjoyed it each time!
These 2 are great - like an old married couple. Grew up watching them in "Notown" Michigan on a TV that got 4 channels, thank God one of them was CBC Channel 9. God bless Hockey Night in Canada!
Thanks for your service to Veterans and Canada Don. Your truly a legend of the game. I'm not a fan of Hockey but watching your enthusiasm for the game and Canada in general has always been endearing. As a Veteran of 3 conflicts I know if i had to stand toe to toe with the enemy again, i'd rather be there with you than the chicken shits that run Sportnest and Rogers!!!!! Thanks for speaking the truth.
Absolutely, “Flander’s Field “ was actually written by a Canadian. I always noticed when Grapes wore a poppie. Signed a kid who grew up playing hockey in Detroit, watching CBC every Saturday night. Then became an infantry paratrooper with the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division
I also just remembered that awesome show that Don Cherry use to have called "The Grapevine" I think it was called.I wonder if those old shows are available on DVD? I use to watch that show all the time as a young lad with my Mom&Dad & would always watch the Don Cherry "Rock Em Sock Em" VHS tapes before my hockey games to pump myself up & watch Wendel Clark,Jon Kordic,Cam Neely,Marty Mcsorely,Bob Probert,Scott Stevens,Geno Odjick,Dave Manson,Bryan Marchment & that would get my juices flowing lol.
Rock Em Sock Em 5 was up on here a few months ago. If it's still online, handle with care; I watched it after a few pops and just went off with nostalgia.
I can't imagine not having Don Cherry & Ron McLean every Saturday night.Those two are one of a kind together,not even the States has anything close to these two.Terry Bradshaw & John Madden don't even come close to Cherry & McLean.I watched the CBC Don Cherry tribute show that was split up into I think 2-4 shows or something like that,but I forget his name who played Don Cherry but wow what a tremendous job that bloke did of playing Don Cherry.HNIC won't be the same without Grapes & McLean!!
Really?? From an American who has watched HNIC for many years, "Get George off of there!!!!" My God, at least they had the sense to keep Don and Ron on there.
Ron MacLean and Don Cherry, Canada's equivalent of Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. The main difference is that Ron's puns are funny and Grapes has rare bouts of insightful genius.
I didn't know that Hockey Night In Canada has their own book ? Who knew ? Well , wait till they work on the 75th anniversary of Hockey Night In Canada on book and maybe even more . With great stuff , great moments and not so great moments .
Ron if you were a real friend to Don. You would have walked away from sportnet an rogers when you received the news that a canadian hockey legend (your friend) has been fired. I lost all interest in hockey and cancelled my rogers service.
He is no Bob Goldham, Goldham may not have had the comic appeal, or the personality, but he knew hockey better than almost anyone. And Ron actually knew what hockey was about, like Goldam.
What like Nick Kypreos is ? George was put in a spot where he took the brunt of CBC's bumping Ron MacLean out of that spot. Strombo does absolute best interviews which is why high quality people that don't normally do interviews only did interviews on the Strombo show. There is no reason why George couldn't excel on that HNIC show. I felt that group of Announcers didn't help pull at 100% to help ease George into that job as they were caught up with showing loyalties towards Ron Mac and Don .... CBC Screwed up by ousting Ron instead of slowly blending them into it and slowly phasing Ron out (which has to happen sometime) ....
GordieHowl CBC had nothing to do with that. CBC did sports and especially HNIC masterfully and didn't have any part of the restructuring. That all happened after rogers Sportsnet took over. I knew they would screw things up.
fast forward five yrs......yup that was the plan...but guess who saved corny bad joke telling ron macleans job?....yup you guessed it the man he stabbed in the back
People always hate the "new guy". Years ago, people hated MacLean when he took over from Dave Hodge. Now people want MacLean in and Strombo out. And 10 years from now, people will want Strombo and will resent the new guy who comes in. It's always like that.
George should be applauded for addressing Cherry’s penchant for inserting subjects that DO NOT belong on a hockey broadcast. When the US invaded Iraq, Cherry admonished Jean Chretien for not joining the alliance and not sending Canadian troops. Cherry, as he often is, was out of his depth on that, as subsequent events in Iraq proved. The US invasion was an unmitigated disaster. And Ron McLean diminishes himself when he acts as an apologist for Don Cherry. And Cherry’s speech at Toronto City Hall, when Rob Ford was elected mayor, should have been an embarrassment for Cherry and the CBC. Cherry referred to Ford’s adversaries as ‘Pinkos’. Rob Ford as mayor, as Torontonians well know, was embarrassment to the city. But Cherry was there for his friend and fellow nitwit. And I’m not entirely sure why Cherry is regarded as the guru of coaching. He never won anything. Who cares about Coach of The Year in Two Leagues, as Cherry often trots out? In Boston, he had eleven 20 goal scorers on the team when he was provided that honour. Helen Keller could have coached that team. Remember............we’ve all won as many Stanley Cups as has Don Cherry.
CHERRY GONE SINCE OCTOER 2019 AND RATINGS TANKED NEVER CAME BACK SINCE.. PROSPECT OF MAYBE 2 CANADIAN TEAMS IN PLAYOFFS AND ONLY 2 WITH EARLY EXITS. PLAYOFFS LOOK GRIM. CANADA WILL PROBABLY WAIT WELL OVER 30 YEARS FOR CUP GLORY MAYBE! LONG, LONG TIME!
It still remains a really big hockey loss, a cultural loss. I can still sing the coaches corner theme. They were an irreplaceable team. And Rogers can suck it for their 'cancel culture' over an errant poor choice of 2 words
Hold your head high Don, you have alot of people with you
All the best
Derek
look to the left don...and see the traitor next to you....trying to be funny

Not so happy anymore since Ron stabbed Don in the back

Nostalgia is an incredibly powerful emotion
As an American, I love these two.
I love one of them.

Please Don't forget Dave Semenko. RIP
#YOUPEOPLE.........Saturday night will never be the same
Who's gonna fill his shoes. Nobody ever will. I'm with you don . What you said was 100 percent right.
That's Don with the BIG knife in his back...Sportsnet and Ron put that there.
Rock Em Sock Em 5 was up on here a few months ago. If it's still online, handle with care; I watched it after a few pops and just went off with nostalgia.
"...it's couches corner"
Don Cherry is a national treasure. And I'm an American!
Who remembers Don Cherry’s Grape Vine? Hockey Night in Canada on CBC was my favorite TV viewing as a young hockey player from Detroit
1:53 Good to see that Ron wearing his poppy.
F...k ron mcstain effeminate closet trans
0:46 "It's Couch's Corner" ... woops. Sounds like the title for a hockey segment held on the furniture of Strombo Tonight.
Don is real.Miss him on Hockey Night in Canada
i WILL cry, like, no questions asked. I'll probably call in to work sick and then drink all day
I can't imagine not having Don Cherry & Ron McLean every Saturday night.Those two are one of a kind together,not even the States has anything close to these two.Terry Bradshaw & John Madden don't even come close to Cherry & McLean.I watched the CBC Don Cherry tribute show that was split up into I think 2-4 shows or something like that,but I forget his name who played Don Cherry but wow what a tremendous job that bloke did of playing Don Cherry.HNIC won't be the same without Grapes & McLean!!
These two were just meant to be.
DON CHERRY Canada loves you and we miss you. It was a better world when you had a voice.
I like you George ...your a good guy ...excellent Canadian ...nice personality
Don Cherry is a national treasure! The best thing to come outta Canada since Hockey and Curling!
Really?? From an American who has watched HNIC for many years, "Get George off of there!!!!" My God, at least they had the sense to keep Don and Ron on there.
Don Cherry is a Patriot. Period. And Ron MacLean is one of the greatest sports straight men ever in the Television Medium.
Weasel.
Was thinking that exact thing... those brown shoes with that grey pintstripe... gadDAMN!
You actually put MacShame's name first? Really?
Run Prime Minster and we all get behind you, sir!!!
Ron MacLean and Don Cherry, Canada's equivalent of Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. The main difference is that Ron's puns are funny and Grapes has rare bouts of insightful genius.
Is Lineker the backstabber in that pairing?
All hail Don & Rob
MacLean would give this a thumbs-up.
Couple of beauties, would love to have a beer with these two just telling stories
imagine these 3 running CBC1
I didn't know that Hockey Night In Canada has their own book ? Who knew ? Well , wait till they work on the 75th anniversary of Hockey Night In Canada on book and maybe even more . With great stuff , great moments and not so great moments .
Boys need to set up pod cast for Saturday fix is in simple!
Great idea. But who pays their millions?
@@SuperCyril2 advertising will come around as long as the numbers show up greed always wins!!!!!!!
Even better if they bring back CC as a RUclips channel. Easily over a million subs and tons of monetized viewers every week.
@@number7717 I have been watchin CC since I was 7. 45 years old now and I feel like I have lost a family member.
This was a great clip. but hey where was George's Poppy?
good question
If they wanted to hire someone hip and young to host the show they should've gotten Steve Dangle. He knows hockey & is hilarious.
I like Steve very much. Young definitely. Hip though? Debatable... :P
true
That's a good way to get people to stop watching
Hey Don would they fire u if u farted on camera lol lol
the chemistry between ron and don strombo hardly even has to speak
Ron if you were a real friend to Don. You would have walked away from sportnet an rogers when you received the news that a canadian hockey legend (your friend) has been fired. I lost all interest in hockey and cancelled my rogers service.
this is what George is good at, interviewing. Not being an analyst on HNIC
That was a joke wasn't it, thank the hockey gods he's gone. : )
He is no Bob Goldham, Goldham may not have had the comic appeal, or the personality, but he knew hockey better than almost anyone. And Ron actually knew what hockey was about, like Goldam.

So George is going to be replacing Ron? HA!
fast forward five yrs......yup that was the plan...but guess who saved corny bad joke telling ron macleans job?....yup you guessed it the man he stabbed in the back
I really liked Stroumbopoulous on Hockey Night In Canada.
Good call. Wow. I can't believe I didn't grasp that.
Where is Strombos poppy??
He's an immigrant...he doesn't require one.
@@Darrin.Crawford lol
Don you will be remembered as a man who spoke his mind, sometimes rights, sometimes wrong. Ron you will be remembered as a coward.
Don was the Howard Stern of Canada but we can't handle it yet. We will. Draconian Broadcast Company
I support Don Cherry 100%👍🇨🇦 Don for Prime Minister ✌️🇨🇦
don cherry and ron maclean at hockey night in canada
These were the days when everything was right.
Ron was Hockey Night In Canada, then he gets replaced with this hipster? Fuck that.
Bring back Ron!
Done! Ron is back bitches!!
its gonna be a sad day when don passes away. they don't make guys like him no more.
Don Cherry is just like Norm Macdonald in that it is both hilarious and nerve-racking at the same time as you never know what controversy is next.
People always hate the "new guy". Years ago, people hated MacLean when he took over from Dave Hodge. Now people want MacLean in and Strombo out. And 10 years from now, people will want Strombo and will resent the new guy who comes in. It's always like that.
leafyutube What happened to Dave Hodge?
Two of the sharpest dressed men ever!
WE MISS DON CHERRY.
Ron Maclean thru his longtime buddy under the bus!
Ron is a fukin weasel. Piece of shit.
Ron MacLean everyone, forever known as the backstabbing weasel.
George,nose out of joint because he called you out on those awkward and uncomfortable chairs? "are you a furniture expert?" smh
As a Canadian, I detest the thought of "taking the 'ou' out".
RIP Don!
Ron Maclean actually has some pretty good style
Can’t believe that George replaced Ron. At least he sucked and everyone agrees
Hockey night is done
Is grapes drunk? Lol
Is the weasel still on HNIC?
Canada is no more !
Judas MacLean.
Don is right, screw'em
strombolopolos looks like a high school poser. He had no control whatever.
I want some of whatever you're on. They don't remotely look like one another.
@UCUGUK3KIj0jf02JRDfd2DXA isn't wearing a poppy
Notice to those wimps at HNC
They're both wearing poppies 👍
"owt"
lol loll Don pissed people off Lol lol don't use the word fart it's offensive lol l
Making a suit
MacLean is gutless. He backstabbed Cherry.
Don Cherry had his racist rant and Ron Maclean had a thumb up.
George should be applauded for addressing Cherry’s penchant for inserting subjects that DO NOT belong on a hockey broadcast.
When the US invaded Iraq, Cherry admonished Jean Chretien for not joining the alliance and not sending Canadian troops.
Cherry, as he often is, was out of his depth on that, as subsequent events in Iraq proved. The US invasion was an unmitigated disaster.
And Ron McLean diminishes himself when he acts as an apologist for Don Cherry.

Rob Ford as mayor, as Torontonians well know, was embarrassment to the city. But Cherry was there for his friend and fellow nitwit.
And I’m not entirely sure why Cherry is regarded as the guru of coaching.
He never won anything.
Who cares about Coach of The Year in Two Leagues, as Cherry often trots out?
In Boston, he had eleven 20 goal scorers on the team when he was provided that honour. Helen Keller could have coached that team.
Remember............we’ve all won as many Stanley Cups as has Don Cherry.
George popodopalus🤦♂️what a hockey night in Canada mistake! Should of stayed doing his show witch was great, not a hockey guy.
r
Ron Mclean. Corporate lackie and yes boy. No back bone
Ron and Don: Canada's most beloved celebrity couple.
God Ron Maclean is the driest man on earth
+Chikalita2 But that's what made Ron and Don so great - Ron is dry and Don is unfiltered.
Obviously you don’t get his humour. He sometimes is too deep for some. Not your fault.
MuchLoud!
CHERRY GONE SINCE OCTOER 2019 AND RATINGS TANKED NEVER CAME BACK SINCE.. PROSPECT OF MAYBE 2 CANADIAN TEAMS IN PLAYOFFS AND ONLY 2 WITH EARLY EXITS. PLAYOFFS LOOK GRIM. CANADA WILL PROBABLY WAIT WELL OVER 30 YEARS FOR CUP GLORY MAYBE! LONG, LONG TIME!
no Don no to the hell with sports net
Ron MacLean, so weak
MacClean the weasel.
It still remains a really big hockey loss, a cultural loss. I can still sing the coaches corner theme. They were an irreplaceable team. And Rogers can suck it for their 'cancel culture' over an errant poor choice of 2 words
Should have suspended don
Should have done NOTHING TO DON!!!! He always says YOU PEOPLE...to everyone..so SPORTNET can go to hell !!!!
lame jokes, lame stories. sorry,,,,,,
we're not talking about you though.......
these guys are legends, you are a tool
no one pays to go and see you.
I think their dynamic is really funny. The best broadcasters have funny friendships.
I watched one of your videos. You think tiger balm, ice packs, prayer and meditation has helped your tinnitus?
Ya, sorry, but no.
