Don Cherry and Ron MacLean were one of the best TV duos in hockey, hosting Coaches Corner and Hockey Night in Canada for several years.
Unfortunately, Cherry was fired in 2019 for his ''You People'' comments regarding people wearing poppies. What fans hated the most, however, was how MacLean refused to stand up for his long time friend and co-host.
