Just got the news that Don got fired. As a citizen of the USA, I loved Hockey Night in Canada and Coaches Corner! I watched my first Stanley Cup Final in '93 and was hooked immediately on the greatest game on earth. In Detroit I watched Don and Ron on channel 9 on Saturday Nights with a couple of friends who could not believe Cherry's suits but got hooked on "Canadian" hockey like me. Thanks Canada for Hockey and Don Cherry! Thanks Mr. Cherry for years of Coaches Corner!
There is nothing wrong with what Don Cherry said. I'm the son of immigrant parents and I grew up in Toronto. Love this country, love my city. Don Cherry just wants everyone to support our veterans and why is that wrong? We should wholeheartedly support the people who gave their lives for our country. Noone I know - not my family or friends (a lot of whom are immigrants or children of immigrants) disagree with Don Cherry. This is all just fake social media nonsense - social media has turned this into a racial thing when it isn't. Don Cherry is a good guy and a true Canadian. I hate that a person can't say a damn thing anymore without their life being destroyed by social media.
The lilly white left wing SJW's have infiltrated everything. Unfortunately the SJW's are more racist than anyone else. Don wants people to integrate and respect the people who fought for the freedoms we have. That's why people want to immigrate here. Unfortunately the socialists have hijacked everything. The left is devouring itself. People are now so afraid to say anything about anything that MAY offend somebody that they may end up in court for hate speech. Today's society has become a bunch of ZOMBIES. No speech, no ideas, no thought. Just shutup and hide in a closet.
Best line he ever said. he was asked to compare Gretsky and Orr. he said one spent his career being hunted while the other spent his career being protected. Beautiful!!!1
That's just horseshit. One was a good offensive defenseman. The other was the greatest offensive force in history and the smartest person ever to pick up a stick. Cherry is a buffoon.
Agreed. EVERYONE should wear poppies. Not just YOU PEOPLE. He chose his words, go to 10:30. If he gets in trouble stop whining about it. He misspoke and refused to take the opportunity to correct himself, and he didn't. He dug his own grave, and when he was given a ladder to jump out he refused it.
Don Cherry is an embodiment of Canada which I enter 38 years ago as a refugee from the one of many communist hellholes. And I love him and I love Canada those days; straight forward, honest, when you need a help he/she would help you, otherwise didn’t meddle in your business. And unfortunately, we are loosing that Canada by playing a victim card and by nonsensical multiculturalism.
I am a 6th generation Canadian, my 5th Great grandfather came to Canada in 1798 and as a 6th generation Canadian, I know that this statement is nothing but a bunch of horse shit, Don Cherry is an ignorant, bigoted, and outdated loud-mouth!
Aw man, I love this guy. I've been watching, playing and otherwise following hockey for 24 of my 27 years, and Grapes has been there the whole time. I can't imagine hockey without him - he brings character to an otherwise boring-as-fuck analytical world. I've often argued that people who say they "hate" Cherry only say so because of the way he delivers his opinions. I agree, he's terrible at communication, but when you look at the stats, his understanding of the game proves 2nd to none.
I don't know about that, I think he's a pretty good communicator. Bad with words, but still a good communicator. Anyways, gonna miss him. Hope some justice comes and we get to see him again in some form. Sportsnet sucks for what they did.
Don, you are entitled to your opinion. You spoke truth and some snowflakes twisted his truth. New Canadians truthfully do not wear poppies as much as not new Canadians. He is correct in what he said. Don is right. F disrespectful ignorant people.
i so look forward to those 7-8 minutes after the 1st period. all my saturday evenings are designed around Coach Cherry & HNIC. i never miss it. from all of us in the states we love you Coach Cherry and G-d Bless!
that is what is the joke, for a poppy, and he supported the veterans, and speaking of headshots you have a 20million dollar, player and some tough guy is gonna take him out,? That is something Don has to speak out for fewer injuries, breaks his had boxing, lol>3 Bobby Orr was like lighting, fast, smooth and a finisher!
Don Cherry...old school hard ass...Love the dude...look up the story about Cherry telling Espo he was traded to the Rangers... and Bobby Orr standing in front of the window while he was breaking the news...natural wit
Gretzky wore caps and a Jofa helmet (that provides about as much protection as a baseball cap) because you wouldn't dare hit him, or face the wrath of Semenko or McSorley.
Refreshing to hear/see unvarnished opinions. The equipment thing is actually funny but the truth is the players are much bigger/faster than 'the good ole days' and my opinion is larger ice surface is the only answer to REDUCING, not eliminating injuries.
WRONG---there is a lot of TRUTH in what Cherry says in regards to the equipment NOW compared to what they wore in "the good ole days". A suit of armor makes for less fear on the ice. PLUS, in "the good ole days," a_ sholes got an attitude adjustment when needed.
I’m from the Detroit area, right across the river from Windsor Ontario and grew up watching hockey night in Canada. I don’t agree with every single thing Don has said, but what he said last year shouldn’t have gotten him fired. Still Love Grapes. I still have the old VHS tapes of Rock em Sock em hockey.
Humility isn’t a word that people associate with Don Cherry. However the person we see on camera is far from that person. I’ve known folks who have met him away from the cameras and he is described as a caring individual. For me the absolute greatest facet of professional sports are the overachievers (e.g. Gretzky, Orr, Sittler and others) who remain humble while being great. There are far too many now who earn huge money and shout long and loud about how terrific they are and omit details about the fact that team games are just that. No one individual can win a team game on their own. I truly hope that there will always be those who never forget that TEAM philosophy is what makes the game(s) GREAT…
Never REEEaly liked Maclean, But Here's the thing - I DID see Harold Ballard's ' Cottage " Y' know, the one he used embezzled funds from the gardens to build up. What a place example: all of the interlocking stones were white a had blue Maple leafs all over. The whole place was like that and it would take you a day to see it all. Saw the Connacher Brothers cottages as well - Ballard had them built I heard. 3 Exact copies of each other...and beautiful. All this on Lake Huron.
Why is it labeled divisive when someone speaks out against divisive leftist policies like open borders . . . . but the divisive leftist policies themselves are NEVER labeled "divisive?" BTW, I like how the fascist CBC will not let anyone comment on their numerous videos here about this episode.

CBC and mclean are cowards for this bullshit!!! Whenever mclean is on and all intermissions or commercials I change the channel Fuck Them!!!
“You people” out there supporting Don Cherry! Well! “You people” make me so proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦. And Sportsnet, “you people” should be ashamed of yourself.
he has to walk the line, u know? look at what they are doing to an icon? ruthless, they know how he talks, yes out of line, but to destroy him like this is so callous, to me anyway, as I know he called, 2013,,,2014 leafs almost, yet he called and made her night, class act
newfoundland no they where itching to mix it up, he is to old now, to bad some guys just never figure it out, I hope we can show him the respect he deserves, what was Ron to do, he is at there mercy, like they got any, first ones to reach into your pocket though, he may think not time to go, but hey the end does come, he deserves it, one of a kind, best before date, na, kiddding
hahaha. GS - how did you say no to the NDP, cause I know you just wanted to run for them!? | on another note, this interview was really well done. Thanks, for another engaging interview #George Stroumboulopoulos!
As of this posting there are 65+1 that I'm glad is not in my fox hole. Move over to the other 680 who agree with Don And Bobby and GOD BLESS you and M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-... M-A-S!!!!!
The CBC, for better or for worse, is in place to contribute to Canadian society by protecting Canadian interests. Don Cherry, for better or for worse, gets Canadians talking. Grapes is an integral part of HNiC, and no, I don't always agree with him either. Don Cherry's place on Saturday nights is good for Canada.
unbelievable how canada goes off about how great the people are, how wonderful the country is, how progressive the country is and they do what they did to a living legend in Don Cherry. 38 years in the business and gets fired for supporting the fallen soldiers that defended the west and its values. DESPICABLE
on the statement about today's equipment, the new stuff is full of hard plastic and compared to the older equipment is dangerous! I 100% believe and agree with shanahan and cherry that the concussion problem is in part due to the equipment.
Don is a good man. There is nothing wrong in showing passion for the country that you love. There is an article that says, Don is a racist and a bigot. Bigot? That is a very strong and defamatory word. You guys out there must be careful what you publish.
SPORTSNET HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY RUINED HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. First they pulled it away from the traditional CBC network. Then the hockey night in Canada theme song ( our unofficial 2nd national anthem), now ...axing Don Cherry. Whats next?

No racism at all

@Paolo Rossi those who see racism in everything are the true racist. So take your racist ass out of here.

I am an American love Don Cherry love his passion and his candidness love the True Canadian people and love hockey the greatest sport ever
Thank You Ronnie From all of us true Canadians and Donny and Bobby Orr
Love right back to you 🙏

Tough exterior, but Don Cherry has a heart of gold. Much respect to the man.
Don Cherry for PM, Don your the best.

Ultrametric yeah the guy that literally invented offensive defensemen was pretty good eh
@@ultrametric9317 Crosby is better oops
@@ultrametric9317 - Orr is the GOAT. Period. Suck it up buttercup.
Don Cherry is a national treasure.
SVT777 welp he just got fired
And he still is a national treasure
lol sniff fucking glue much cretin...hes a fucking disgrace like you moron
Of course you're French
As an immigrant im proud of you and i love you Mr. Don cherry.👍👍👍👍
I respect you Don. The whole world should respect the dead solders.
Agreed. EVERYONE should wear poppies. Not just YOU PEOPLE.

GOOD 'OL CANADIAN BOY
Love Don, he's AWESOME and just the best of the best in hockey analysis.
Still watch this from time to time

You need to join the People's Party of Canada. wE need you
👍🏻
Glad to have you in Canada vlad
My parents say the exact same thing! They came form Poland then, Canada has changed a lot according to them and for the worse

See the CBC movie - I thought it was great!
Question - does he have the Order of Canada? if not, why not?
Cause left wing dicks kill everything they see
Don, you are entitled to your opinion. You spoke truth and some snowflakes twisted his truth. New Canadians truthfully do not wear poppies as much as not new Canadians. He is correct in what he said. Don is right. F disrespectful ignorant people.
Damn shame what this man has gone through, PC BS.
i so look forward to those 7-8 minutes after the 1st period. all my saturday evenings are designed around Coach Cherry & HNIC. i never miss it. from all of us in the states we love you Coach Cherry and G-d Bless!
Sadly Don was wrong about Québec getting an NHL team. Bettman and the powers that be don't want a team in Quebec. It's quite sad
Another reason I love Cherry. He had no problem calling out the anti Canadian Bettman NHL.
I love this man!!! I didn't always agree with him, but I respected his opinion!! When they fired him they screwed themselves!!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this!
Great interview George oh by the way our softball team needs a new pitcher this summer , interested?
GRRRAAAAPPPEEESSSS... pinkos always complain, always first to call the cops
Grapes!
I live "down south." Put Cherry in the HHOF. My dad and I still get together for every Saturday night Leafs game to watch Coach's Corner.
Time to boycott now.
Really good interview
Don Cherry calls it the way it is.... Respect...
2019 and he gets fired for no reason
that is what is the joke, for a poppy, and he supported the veterans, and speaking of headshots you have a 20million dollar, player and some tough guy is gonna take him out,? That is something Don has to speak out for fewer injuries, breaks his had boxing, lol>3 Bobby Orr was like lighting, fast, smooth and a finisher!
Shoot if Canada thinks Grapes is to opinionated. Give him to the USA we will gladly take Don.
PLEASE COME BACK DON CHERRY !!⛸️🏒🥅⛸️🥅⛸️🏒🥅🍻🍻🍻❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦🏆🏆🏆🍻🍻
Don Cherry lives close to Mississauga Road just south of Dundas and North of the QEW just behind Sheridan mall
Don Cherry...old school hard ass...Love the dude...look up the story about Cherry telling Espo he was traded to the Rangers... and Bobby Orr standing in front of the window while he was breaking the news...natural wit
Gretzky wore caps and a Jofa helmet (that provides about as much protection as a baseball cap) because you wouldn't dare hit him, or face the wrath of Semenko or McSorley.
he also felt more comfortable with the helmet.
Gretzky got in fights but he was not a fighter,he was a scoring machine thats why Sather got people who could fight and protect Gretzky.
I as an AMERICAN = LOVE DON CHERRY = HES THE BOMB DADDY
back in the day when the strombo show was good.
is it me or would it be amazing to see don cherry have a conversation with Bill Oreily
I'd love to see him on the david letterman show as well
Don Cheery is REAL...O'Reilly is FAKE
don cherry for pm!
Wait, Don Cherry is wearing a normal suit for once?
Seen this one gorgeous George 🙂
Refreshing to hear/see unvarnished opinions. The equipment thing is actually funny but the truth is the players are much bigger/faster than 'the good ole days' and my opinion is larger ice surface is the only answer to REDUCING, not eliminating injuries.
Agreed...I think there would be more and longer stretch passes but more room, more speed would definitely make MORE EXCITING HOCKEY!
WRONG---there is a lot of TRUTH in what Cherry says in regards to the equipment NOW compared to what they wore in "the good ole days". A suit of armor makes for less fear on the ice. PLUS, in "the good ole days," a_ sholes got an attitude adjustment when needed.
Don Cherry is the most interesting & entertaining color analyst in the history of the NHL ~ gotta love him!
Don Cherry, one of a kind
don cherrys the man!!
+Adam McClelland He should get the Order of Canada. He's given so much to our Nation.
I’m from the Detroit area, right across the river from Windsor Ontario and grew up watching hockey night in Canada. I don’t agree with every single thing Don has said, but what he said last year shouldn’t have gotten him fired.
Still Love Grapes. I still have the old VHS tapes of Rock em Sock em hockey.
Deadmau5 and Don Cherry are both awesome!!

Don Cherry for Prime Minister!
I like hockey.
Well Don Cherry was wrong about Quebec getting a team back & Seattle did.
Sudsy Sutherland It’s a stupid move, but it’s too late to complain about it now. We can still hope.
we love deadmau5 too
10:38 did he just call grapes an effen “dude”?!?!?
You are correct sir.
don cherry rocks......best dressed man in hockey!!!!!!
Never REEEaly liked Maclean, But Here's the thing - I DID see Harold Ballard's ' Cottage " Y' know, the one he used embezzled funds from the gardens to build up.

"You wanna play ▶️ with the bullll? You get the horn" 😅
Ron McClain did not look like he backed Don after the fact. Such a whimp.

Seattle!
hahaha. GS - how did you say no to the NDP, cause I know you just wanted to run for them!? | on another note, this interview was really well done. Thanks, for another engaging interview #George Stroumboulopoulos!
All this and he STILL found time to play with Ornette Coleman.
Don lives on more than ever
14:04 Cherry listens to Deadmau5? awesome
Best hockey analyst ever.
why is his nickname grapes?
the headshots takes em out everytime, and they know it
As a 61 year old female hockey fan, im my opinion, IS THE SMARTEST MAN IN HOCKEY
only a woman would say that......
As of this posting there are 65+1 that I'm glad is not in my fox hole. Move over to the other 680 who agree with Don And Bobby and GOD BLESS you and M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-... M-A-S!!!!!
Dons the man

Grapes is an integral part of HNiC, and no, I don't always agree with him either. Don Cherry's place on Saturday nights is good for Canada.
Fired!
He has some great Bruins teams.
legend
Not really a fan of his, but great interview. I'd love to watch this movie.
Coach is HNIC! love you, Coach
unbelievable how canada goes off about how great the people are, how wonderful the country is, how progressive the country is and they do what they did to a living legend in Don Cherry. 38 years in the business and gets fired for supporting the fallen soldiers that defended the west and its values.

There was nothing wrong with what he said
Don Cherry Bill Burr Doug Gilmour and Bobby Orr should go on Joe Rogan👍🏻
Did Bill Burr weigh in on Don Cherry? In any case I'd like to see that.
Haven't seen anything yet
Quebec? Rumors say that it will be Seattle according to the NHL
Big hockey fan are ya? Rumors? Haha Seattle is confirmed and will start the 2021 season.
Hes entertainment and everythinK like that
Don is a good man. There is nothing wrong in showing passion for the country that you love. There is an article that says, Don is a racist and a bigot. Bigot? That is a very strong and defamatory word. You guys out there must be careful what you publish.
I don't always agree with DC, but I'd vote for him in a minute.
Great interview!! Big Cherry fan... Voted for him one time when i was 18. I heard a rumour that he got another 275 votes from my home city!!
SPORTSNET HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY RUINED HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. First they pulled it away from the traditional CBC network. Then the hockey night in Canada theme song ( our unofficial 2nd national anthem), now ...axing Don Cherry. Whats next?
George: TRIGGERED!!!!!
those people
ohhhh don and your crazy suits.
Love don cherry and have huge respect
The Wrath of Grapes. Hilarious.
... I always hated the Bruins, but I truly appreciate Don Cherry.
2 thumbs up! Love his take on hockey! Not eneryone will agree though...but who cares!!
host is breathing air that others could use
Like he said mess with the bull you get the horns.
10:30 lol
new pm of canada?
Bring Cherry Back
I'm biased, but I disagree with Grapes.
I think Seattle would be a LEGIT hockey market where people would pay $60-$75 per ticket.
rip
I am Swedish and I am a Don Cherry fan.
