Now that you mention it, YES!

 

[Mr Kot]

voted no. If I had to sit through him all these years, you all have to sit through him for the rest if time. enjoy.

 

[centipede2233]

I liked him with don cherry. He became redundant after cherry left

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Ron sucks and doesn't even talk much about hockey. Constantly bringing up some sentimental stories about some random shit which is pathetic. Was carried by Cherry and is useless without him.

 

[mikeo1]

I'm guessing this is because of the Michael Nylander gaffe?

 

[JackSlater]

Yes, it was time long ago.

 

[NyQuil]

Whoever replaces him will be worse.

What made you decide to ask this question. Did he do something wrong last night?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Leave him be

 

[tfwnogf]

Would have respected him if he retired when cherry left. Now he's just cringy and old.

Hockey…

It’s our game, our claim to fame, the skate glances the ice and the puck flies like Hermes - but not Futurama Hermes, more like a nowturama Hermes. Gord Downie.

I’ve met him a few times and he’s a very nice man, but yes, it is time.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Yes, and while he's at it Take Jennifer Botterlli with him.

 

[Beau Knows]

I don't know, maybe? Who watches intermissions anyways?

This is why I like him as he isn't some ex player with very little original content and uniqueness.

Plus this.

[Mickey Marner]

It's been time.

The CBC crew outside of Bieska is incredibly dry.

Rons poems are completely out of place and he comes off very unlikeable since he bailed on the dude that bent over backwards to save his job.

They already tried to replace him and that was a disaster. Not sure I trust Rogers to come up with a better replacement after that debacle lol. Remember, people wanted Ron back after they saw Strombo for a couple of years.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

It was time for Ron to go 10yrs ago.

 

[Suntouchable13]

It was time for Ron to go 10yrs ago.

Yea, he DID go around 7-8 years ago. Who replaced him? You guys wished Ron to be back so fast lol. He is a great host. Sure, he says some cringy stuff from to time, but guess what? His replacement will also have cringy moments. When Strombo replaced him, pretty much everything he said or did was cringy.

 

[Staniowski]

MacLean is still quite young...he started in his mid-20s.

This.

Barring a Cherry like comment, Maclean will likely leave whenever he decides.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Never liked him. Thought it was really crappy the way he threw Cherry under the bus.

 

[DuklaNation]

No respect for him when he didn't stand by his "friend", Don. Showed his true colours. Get on your knees Ron. Its that time again.

I find the sports bet shilling and gambling push by the NHL, Sportsnet, TSN, CBC, etc. more reprehensible and offensive than Don Cherry telling people to wear poppies. By a long shot.

Why isn’t anyone talking about the offensiveness of the in your face non-stop sports betting push more openly?
