Ron MacLean 'CRASHES' 90 year old Don Cherry's birthday party for cheesy photo-op

[ACLEVERNAME]

WARMINGTON: Ron MacLean deserves game misconduct for misleading Don Cherry post​

For many, it may have looked like a reconciliation between two TV legends has occurred that could lead to getting the band back together again. MacLean wrote: “Us, when Grapes hit a Milestone and I was chasing one, so, recently. Canadians. Us like us — forever.”

Not so fast.

Turns out, it was the coach who was cornered.

MacLean and Cherry had not been in the same room together since the cheap shot heard around the hockey world that was seeing Grapes fired on Remembrance Day Nov. 11, 2019...

.... I have reached out to Ron to hear his side of it but those in attendance told me MacLean “crashed” the family party he wasn’t invited to and brought a birthday card for his long-time pal.

Of course Ron couldn't help but bring his 'poetry' into it.

What a sleazebag move here from MacLean. He showed his true colours when he turned his back on his long-time 'friend' leaving him to face the mob alone. Now he shows up on the doorstep for a cheap and awkward photo which - suprise, suprise gets posted to X in record time. Gotta think he's setting himself up for his post-HNIC career at this point. Going to lean hard on the nostalgia of the 'good times.'

Pathetic.

Ron’s a clown

He forgot to show up in his snake outfit

I miss Grapes too, its good to see he appears healthy, but that's the only positive from the article, that sellout MacLean shoulda been gone before the start of 2024 season, no one cares about his heartfelt semantics anymore.

 

[Chadstudsky]

I'm glad we all feel the same way about Ron. Scumbag

 

[Czechboy]

I miss don Cherry so much on hockey night in... Oh wait. Don't miss him at all. McLean can go join him in a retirement home and they can blog for all I care.

Only thing of interest from those 2 would be a cage match to settle the score.

 

[Mr Kot]

Man, just retire please.

Amazing what some very motivated people can read into a pretty harmless picture.

So much misplaced hatred in this world. And obviously Cherry didn't exactly brought out the best of what human beings can offer.

I don't care either way what Ron and Don do now. Maybe they buried the hatchet. Maybe one is trying to.
It's their business.
But if some fans of Don wanna bash McLean so be it.
Nobody brought up the "hate" word until you.
Fake rage.

Go have your milk and honey Don. Glad the old dinosaur is gone!!!!

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

was he having a stroke as he wrote that?

 

[GreeningOil]

My one personal interaction with Ron was not great. I was a volunteer at the CCMA’s in Saskatoon and he was not very nice to the “help”.

Hopefully he can retire soon so we don’t have to listen to him struggle to produce quality content anymore

 

[McGarnagle]

Ron was a f***ing coward when his supposed friend was under attack and lost his job. But now he wants to profit from his friendship with a smiling photo? What a POS.

 

[sansabri]

no Don don't point that knife at Ron!!!

 

[Xirik]

So a man like Don Cherry or his family weren't able to say Maclean wasn't welcome as he rushed towards Cherry knocking over well-wisher' and then held Cherry at gun point in order for Maclean to take a picture of both of them smiling and giving the thumbs up.

THE HORROR

 

[Sasha Orlov]

f*** you Ron

If I was Don’s son I woulda beat that boys ass on god

probably thought it eas a nice gesture by McClean. Some eye rolling , but of course they are gonna let him in.
We have an uncle mist of us can't stand. But he shows up at family gatherings.

 

[NVious]

There's the little snake in the grass, are you lost?

 

[Soundwave]

It's not really up to Ron to stand up for Grapes for all the various dumb things he's said. He shot his mouth off one too many times and got the boot for it. I have old friends but that doesn't mean I'm honor bound to stand behind them if they say or do something really stupid.

They have a lot of shared history together nonetheless, good for them for being able to look past a dumb moment, when you're that age you're better off just dropping the silly pettiness.

Even without that incident Cherry was losing it anyway, he was barely coherent on Coaches Corner anymore.

Does your family then put out a family news letter stating how hurt everyone was when he came?

 

[PavelBure10]

I don't mind that Cherry is gone, but MacLean should of went with him.

 

[NyQuil]

Don got himself fired.

Have no problem with Ron.

 

[Voight]

Cherry saved Rons job tons of times and he returned the favour by being a slimy arse.

Yeah I've never really understood this line of logic

"You're friends, so if your friend gets himself fired for saying something dumb even if you don't even agree with what your friend said, you have to also resign or get yourself fired"

Like ... lol ... what?

 

[BostonBob]

I wonder if MacLean taped a $10 bill inside of that birthday card ????
