These clips are edited (it wasn't me) from the earlier releases of Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em Hockey video series (I don't own the rights). en.wikipedia.or...
+Andrew C Although even on some of the Coach's Corners in the later 2000s Ron was still on point. He would let Don go on about something and like someone watching an Ebay auction count down he would interject with one of his famous just before they would cut to commercial and you could see the exasperation on Don's face that his colleague got the last word in.
I respectfully disagree. I think he fucking loved it. It was great television, and the majority of Canadian hockey fans loved it too. If I was half a friend to Don Cherry that Ron is, I consider that an honour. "that bitch didn´t mean a thing to me."
Ron's passive aggressive one liners are a thing of beauty. I love how it seems to take Don 1.5 seconds to process the comment and then proceeds to explode.
@@skinnie2838 yes, that's an apt comparison, since, as any fan of the show would know, Don was especially known for being Christ-like. seriously though, are you a professional clown or just a hobbyist? love Don as much as anyone but obviously Ron was never the one to blame for him being taken off air.
@@danbrooks5060 Go rewatch Rons sniveling apology. If that coward didnt buckle to the mob I highly doubt Don would have been permanently taken off the air. I mean are you high or just dont know what happened?
Ron strikes back! Coach's Corner with Don Cherry, began, first with Hall Of Fame broadcaster Dave Hodge, who was replaced by Red Deer,, Alberta weather man, Ron Maclean.
Bang on, Kevin. I wish more people would follow your lead and see the rib-tickling element in such priceless observations..... Instead of instantly taking offence. Can you imagine how many 'vertically challenged' viewers would be clamouring for Don's head if he had said this in 2019? PhiL >^•_•^
Don said the exact same thing in '97....This is how weak and pussified society has become.... We are a welfare state and it saddens me to the deepest depths...
@@PatFrenchLeafsFan1 well actually he said "I look like THE Jerk in Steve Martin" - re goofed it, he's saying he looks like Steve Martin in "The Jerk", a film which is famous for it's scene of Steve Martin trying to dance but with zero sense of rhythm (& they both have grey hair).
Early in 1985, Vince McMahon put Jesse Ventura opposite himself commentating WWF wrestling. Starting from there, they've run with the "straight man"/"heel" commentary teams right up to this day. But here in this video we can clearly see that Vince got the idea from Hockey Night In Canada, and this right here is the original "straight man"/"heel" team.
the best ever was when he had his picture with another boston Terrier - Cherry looked at the camera and said to his dog " I promise that bitch meant nothing to me " that was the best ever
What great memories! I am so lucky to have lived in the Detroit area....close enough to get CBC on TV/Cable, to have watched HNIC growing up. Thankfully we had HNIC, especially during the Dead Wings era!! Thanks for sharing this.
Now, the book Here's Lookin' at Us CBC Television at 50 mentioned how Ron Maclean & Grapes would talk on Coach's Corner and Ron joked, "Don is my Archie Bunker & I'm his Meathead."

I can remember some of these when they went down. Going to miss this guy. He was a real part of why I kept watching hockey. Looks like they took another piece away that made it worth watching. Every year it gets softer and sadder and less Canadian too.
LOL! I remember him flipping off the crowd at the Forum during the '93 Cup finals. Wardrobe clearly inspired by a few "characters" around Inglewood(my hometown)...
01:11 - There is no way that could have been 1981 - Ron MacLean was barely 21 & wasn't anywhere near the CBC yet, and Mats Näslund wasn't in the NHL yet. Probably 1987, a typo on their part.
From Here's Lookin at Us CBC TV at 50, this is what Ron Maclean said in a series of interviews about his and Grapes' speaking styles on Coach's Corner. "He's Archie Bunker and I'm Meathead."
Yes, I agree. Good editing for sure! Tons of fun clips with of Ron and Don. I copied this video from another TH-cam user and it had been since taken down. So, here it is once more!
We won't be missing Don Cherry... because he is not finished yet. Going to take more than a few spinless "Corporate" (lefty types) to keep him off the airwaves... we are am buying shares
"Could be worse, Tony! You could have Saturday Night Fever!" Ron doing his pun about Don Cherry's Saturday Night Fever themed HNIC promo after he ranted about why he didn't want to do the promo.
I watched the first coach's corner ever before this, they've always just been straight savage gotta love Don and Ron haha. Even CC last night and then again in overtime - legendary!
7:40 - "That bitch didn't mean a thing to me!" Don - the best.
John Manor I’m dead
If you made a time lapse of every episode of Coach's Corner, you'd see Ron slowly lose his will to live.
+Andrew C Although even on some of the Coach's Corners in the later 2000s Ron was still on point. He would let Don go on about something and like someone watching an Ebay auction count down he would interject with one of his famous just before they would cut to commercial and you could see the exasperation on Don's face that his colleague got the last word in.
this comment is 100 ahahahahahaaha
Crap I just spit coffee all over the computer...Kudos to you!!

Andrew C sooooooo true hahahah rons a goof clown
ron is like don's counsellor, guiding him through his emotional outbursts. i love it.
Ron has no balls
Counselor that throws his patient under the bus lol
Ron's passive aggressive one liners are a thing of beauty. I love how it seems to take Don 1.5 seconds to process the comment and then proceeds to explode.
passive agressive anything is never a thing of beauty. It would finally lead to Ron throwing Don under the bus ike a turncoat Judas.
@@skinnie2838 yes, that's an apt comparison, since, as any fan of the show would know, Don was especially known for being Christ-like.
seriously though, are you a professional clown or just a hobbyist? love Don as much as anyone but obviously Ron was never the one to blame for him being taken off air.
@@danbrooks5060 Liar. Ron apologized for Don when Don did nothing wrong. THATS throwing him RIGHT UNDER THE BUS.
@@danbrooks5060 Go rewatch Rons sniveling apology. If that coward didnt buckle to the mob I highly doubt Don would have been permanently taken off the air. I mean are you high or just dont know what happened?
Yeah, like the time Ron just passively let his friend Don get roasted and sacked by execs. Classic Ron.
4:25 "like you, this one could go either way i guess" LMAOOO
HAHAH I laughed so hard - nice zinger MacLean
Oh shit, that was amazing
“If it’s on the right side, it means I’m available” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ron strikes back! Coach's Corner with Don Cherry, began, first with Hall Of Fame broadcaster Dave Hodge, who was replaced by Red Deer,, Alberta weather man, Ron Maclean.
Ron is witty, have to say
Going to miss you Don. 😔❤️
Watch the ratings take a nose dive
@@socialwarsmiejercito5608 They did
Ron Maclean "like you this one could go ether way, I guess" 😂😂😂😂😂 I already miss hockey night in Canada
"Mats Naslund?! Of course he doesn't like the banging and the smashing! Why would he?! He's only this high!" 😂🤣
Bang on, Kevin.
I wish more people would follow your lead and see the rib-tickling element in such priceless observations.....
Instead of instantly taking offence.
Can you imagine how many 'vertically challenged' viewers would be clamouring for Don's head if he had said this in 2019?
PhiL >^•_•^
"...and I'm tellin' ya, I've seen some awful smacks, and it's always a woman, yapping away there"
LMAO - Classic Don Cherry.
"I can count" ........ holly shit that was intense.
@theplayboymaster no he just BTFO Ron there for correcting his grammar lmao
Who’s here after Don got fired
Collect as many videos as you can, you never know with what youtube is doing nowadays.
Sack who’s don?
Don said the exact same thing in '97....This is how weak and pussified society has become.... We are a welfare state and it saddens me to the deepest depths...
Yo
Me
Don with those jabs while being in LA!!! Ahhhahhhshahhahahahhahahaa. This man is a treasure
This is quality Canada. Everything I know about our northern neighbors comes from this man.
Rough abrasive Canadian.
It's not like this anymore, sadly. Canada has become a wimpy version of itself
Canada used to be tough, now we play sweden and russian style hockey...
These two guys are a riot....thanks for posting
they are good don cherry knows his hockey
don almost got a fight goining on
@@roywoodby9542 to bad 6 years later he gets fired for nonsense
The clip where he was taking about the dog in the picture not being his was hilarious. Good play on words. LMAO
Dons LA impression had me rolling.lolol
The back and forth between these two it's just golden they did ya wrong grapes
the McLean one liners are the stuff of legends. Not much can shut Cherry up when hes on a roll
Love Don. True Canadian icon.
We love you Don
"hockey without violence is a silver ballet" - disco Don cherry
Actually Disco Don Cherry was the HNIC promo with him disco dancing to the HNIC theme and Grapes was like "I look like a JERK like Steve Martin!"
So he prefers the silver bullet instead?
Can't get away with this nowadays. If he did this now, he'd a got fired for this
@@socialwarsmiejercito5608 yeah because no one tells the over emotional pc babies to shut the hell up anymore
@@PatFrenchLeafsFan1 well actually he said "I look like THE Jerk in Steve Martin" - re goofed it, he's saying he looks like Steve Martin in "The Jerk", a film which is famous for it's scene of Steve Martin trying to dance but with zero sense of rhythm (& they both have grey hair).
Nothing is more Canadian than Hockey Night In Canada with Ron and Don!!
4:26....like you this could go either way I guess.
Oh Ron, quickest wit. Replacing him with George was a mistake
true
Ah, I love these guys. Never a dull moment.
Early in 1985, Vince McMahon put Jesse Ventura opposite himself commentating WWF wrestling. Starting from there, they've run with the "straight man"/"heel" commentary teams right up to this day. But here in this video we can clearly see that Vince got the idea from Hockey Night In Canada, and this right here is the original "straight man"/"heel" team.
Nailed it
This makes me sad now. I'm going to miss this guy.
My pleasure to share these classics!
I love the interview in the player’s tunnel, would like to see more angles like that during broadcasts
I have spotted a wild Eck! Loving the hockey content, keep it up!
This is absolutely hilarious.
I know, but I knew that Don Cherry didn't want to do a Saturday Night Fever themed HNIC promo.
These guys argue like a couple thats been married for 50 years and i love it. 😂😂
They are like the old fuckers in the balcony of The Muppet Show.
Ron MacLean is the Judas of our era.
And we did not even have to pay him 30 pieces of silver
the kings segment where don goes Hollywood is absolute gold, what a legend.
The clip in LA is an absolute classic.
I like the Saturday Night Fever one. "I look like a jerk like Steve Martin!"
Don cherry is the most Canadian a person can get lmao
Love how Ron’s there to keep Don in check but it never works lol
wango, wango. that's hockey. ... hit or fight or do something
I saw Lucic stick a guy in his wango wango.
Ron Mclean is what is wrong with Canada.
I'm 22 years old.... been watching this guy my entire life...gonna really miss this guy.
the best ever was when he had his picture with another boston Terrier - Cherry looked at the camera and said to his dog " I promise that bitch meant nothing to me " that was the best ever
Cherry's dog was a Bull Terrier
@6:15 "Yankee dootiie dandles" fucking eh, Grapes, well said.
What great memories! I am so lucky to have lived in the Detroit area....close enough to get CBC on TV/Cable, to have watched HNIC growing up. Thankfully we had HNIC, especially during the Dead Wings era!! Thanks for sharing this.
So much respect for Ron Mclean. The wit is unmatched.
"Could be worse, Tony. You could have Saturday night fever!"
It's really disappointing that you can't watch Coach's Corner segments during CBC games on NHL Gamecenter.
Especially now that he's been fired
Grapes really is a national treasure. Can you imagine if they aired that effeminate L.A. guy clip today? the guy would get crucified lmao
Jesus, the chemistry Don and Ron have is fucking legendary.
Now, the book Here's Lookin' at Us CBC Television at 50 mentioned how Ron Maclean & Grapes would talk on Coach's Corner and Ron joked, "Don is my Archie Bunker & I'm his Meathead."
Interestingly enough, Kelly Hrudey now works for Hockey Night in Canada
Hollywood Cherry is comedy gold
Man, I miss grapes. Soft ass world we live in.
We need to wear flowers for this man.
These clips are priceless!! 😂🍀
Anyone watching after poppies?
I'll always love him. Not everyone will agree of course
social wars mi ejercito I love him too
Buddy the ending is so worth it on so many levels !,good job bro!"TRULY A BEAUTY ".NOTHING NO HITING,FIGHT OR DO SOMETHING!!;
LMAO 3:20 Don pretending to be a GAY hahahahah!!!! Guess it was a shot to people that want to get toughness out of the game. Dons the best.

I think it's blue chevon

@@BaconNationChannel Sad but true.
Like you this one could go either way
"its always a woman yapping away" LOL

LOL! I remember him flipping off the crowd at the Forum during the '93 Cup finals. Wardrobe clearly inspired by a few "characters" around Inglewood(my hometown)...
The Yankee Doody Dandles hahahaha
It’s always a woman... yappin’ away there
Politically incorrect or brutally honest?
8:35 "You can stick it someplace" bravo Ron
"Yankee doody dandles" Gotta love it. Boycott HNIC. F sportsnet.
One of the best names I heard yet being an American lol. F it give Kingston Ontario a team the more the merry lol.
01:11 - There is no way that could have been 1981 - Ron MacLean was barely 21 & wasn't anywhere near the CBC yet, and Mats Näslund wasn't in the NHL yet. Probably 1987, a typo on their part.
Naslund played from '82-'90...Maybe the clip was from 83,84 ? Its an old HNIC one, for sure.
From Here's Lookin at Us CBC TV at 50, this is what Ron Maclean said in a series of interviews about his and Grapes' speaking styles on Coach's Corner. "He's Archie Bunker and I'm Meathead."
@ 2:50. Don could of been a “ heel” manager in professional wrestling!
He reminds me so much of the late Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
God Damn we'll miss ya Don......
hahaha
I don't even like hockey but I love this man now !
NOW HE’S A LITERARY GIANT
How? How do you fire this?
best chemistry ever!
Holy shit this is absolute gold! "Only got 3 minutes eh?" "Now he's a literary giant here!"
"You can stick it... someplace". Party on Ron! Party on Don. Legends
MATS NASLUND?
Wrong, his career high is 27 goals obtained in 1966-67 season.
Naslund was a gifted dwarf in the 80's.
Is Naslund still the most recent Canadien to hit 100 points?
BRING BACK DON CHERRY!!
dang... i remember those white commercial warning squares at 1:15 - 1:20... do i ever feel old
Yes, I agree. Good editing for sure! Tons of fun clips with of Ron and Don.
I copied this video from another TH-cam user and it had been since taken down.
So, here it is once more!
The Kids in the Hall TV series was successfully doing the same type of sketch on the CBC before Don did that one.
We won't be missing Don Cherry... because he is not finished yet. Going to take more than a few spinless "Corporate" (lefty types) to keep him off the airwaves... we are am buying shares
I couldn't stop laughing 😂What a character he was.
Nothing less then Legendary.
What a Legend!
This was great lol. Great job puying it together ...
This is what happens woke culture takes over, you lose a guy like that. This is really sad. Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
Gonna miss you Don to bad the world got so soft
"Could be worse, Tony! You could have Saturday Night Fever!" Ron doing his pun about Don Cherry's Saturday Night Fever themed HNIC promo after he ranted about why he didn't want to do the promo.
"You should stick it....somewhere"...
DON CHERRY IS A CLASSIC CANADIAN!!!
I watched the first coach's corner ever before this, they've always just been straight savage gotta love Don and Ron haha. Even CC last night and then again in overtime - legendary!
I'd rather have Don watching my back to guard from Mclean's knife.
I only really started watching hockey 2 years ago after don was fired I wish I got to see this stuff live 🤣 Sportsnet sucks right now
You got that right
Perfect clip for the ending!!
"I look like a JERK like Steve Martin!" LOL!!
King of Hockey!
Lmao XD Oh man that was great. You Canadians are lucky to have Don and Ron.
Very funny and entertaining...Don Cherry was a good coach.
