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

[NyQuil]

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?

Ron was originally going to be let go due to cost cuts.

Not because his big mouth eventually got him into trouble.

There’s no equivalency here.

Shits way better now.

Even if we have to look at Friedman who brushes his hair with a hand grenade.

 

[Maple Leaf]

actually

Shits way better now.

Even if we have to look at Friedman who brushes his hair with a hand grenade.

actually?

 

[PaulD]

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

no but we aren't media seeking scoundrel s like MCLean . My uncle doesn't bring a photographer with him either and post in on X before he staggers home

 

[Turin]

Ron Macleans poetry sounds like Alzheimer’s

 

[Chet Manley]

Except he was invited ya drama queens.

 

[Matty Sundin]

as someone who’s interacted with Ron Maclean that wasn’t very positive I can say he’s probably the biggest low key piece of shit in hockey that doesn’t get criticized enough for it. It will be a happy day when he finally retires. I also hopes he stubs his toe every morning.

 

[Look Up]

was he having a stroke as he wrote that?

I missed that. Was he on a zoom call?

 

[BostonBob]

Except he was invited ya drama queens.

Oh really.....

... 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.

 

[canuckslover10]

Lol don Cherry is definitely racist and xenophobic but Ron was okay with it and never complained and then back stabbed him given the chance

 

[Voight]

when?

There were multiple occasions where CBC wanted to cut bait with Rion but Cherry said if he goes, I go.

So they didn't.

 

[therealdeal]

Ron’s a snake and a coward.

 

[Oleksiak]

MacLean should have been fired the minute he decided to use HNIC as a platform to slander a player in defence of a corrupt referee.

 

[KnockHobbler]

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.

Are there actually still people defending don cherry lmao

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Don should have never stepped in and kept Ron around. Guy is terrible at it.

Hey, check out this word play. Oh, it's not quite working. Now it's awkward. Now I'll explain it and then I'll give up and just introduce thr next part because my verbal Segway f***ing sucked.

Should get him to do maybe do one last broadcast, but he went on random rants himself then, gotta imagine it's only worse now.

 

[Qurpiz]

Two dinosaurs meet. Feathers rustled.

 

[Canadienna]

This seems like molehill mountains. Maybe this source is bullshit, maybe Ron was invited and the "people in attendance" that he spoke to didn't know, maybe Cherry appreciated Ron showing up and the people in attendance didn't. Maybe Ron did show up uninvited and wanted to mend things. We know basically nothing.

Not to mention it's really none of our business and airing interpersonal drama about hockey personalities feels more like ET than TSN.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Newflash to the Cherry zealots - Ron MacLean didn't get Cherry fired. Cherry got himself fired for comments he made. Where's the personal accountability?

 

[Staniowski]

Oh really.....

... 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.

Yeah, Ron was invited by Don's son, Tim. The photo was taken at Tim's house two days before Don's birthday.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Where's Ron?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Cherry is dying isn't he? He's wearing normal clothes.

 

[Kryten]

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

In this economy? I bet he dug up his wallet and handed him a mint $2 bill

 

[Shocker]

What f***ing Don Cherry fanboy wrote that article, lmao.

 

[93LEAFS]

Cherry dug his own grave. And, if Don is cool with taking a picture with Ron now, I'd leave it at that. Not write a terrible article for the worst paper in the city like that idiot Warmington did.

What f***ing Don Cherry fanboy wrote that article, lmao.

A right-wing writer for Toronto's equivalent of the New York Daily Post. Cherry getting fired as morphed into some counter movement against "cancel culture." Say dumb things, win dumb prizes when you work for a corporate entity, as Cherry found out.

 

[Beau Knows]

It's nice only hearing about/from Don Cherry on rare occasions like this now, much less annoying.
