Ron MacLean and Don Cherry will forever be connected from their long-running Hockey Night in Canada segment on CBC, but now there's bad blood between the two.
In a new interview this week, Ron MacLean revealed a pneumonia scare for Cherry in the 2018 playoffs caused him to seek a way out of Sportsnet. Now Cherry's calling BS, and is clearly furious with his old friend.
Don Cherry furious with Ron MacLean, says he is no longer welcome to speak with him
After revealing his personal health information and digging through his past, Cherry is furious with Ron MacLean. Cherry conducted a short interview today in response to MacLean, saying how disappointed he is - and that he's no longer welcome at his house.
CHERRY: I'm very disappointed in Ron, that he would bring this up. I'm very disappointed in him, that he would reach back 5 years and do this.
INTERVIEWER: Is he still welcome here, and to call you?
CHERRY: Not with the wife he isn't. I don't have any feelings. I don't have any feelings towards Ron.
INTERVIEWER: Is he still welcome here, and to call you?
CHERRY: Not with the wife he isn't. I don't have any feelings. I don't have any feelings towards Ron.
Cherry is now 91 years old, and still going strong on his GrapeVine podcast. There was some speculation that his last podcast episode sounded like a final sign-off from broadcasting, but Cherry has since assured fans he won't be stopping.
It's absolutely shocking to see how poorly their relationship has soured now in the years since Cherry's firing. MacLean wasn't right to air Cherry's personal medical history to the world, and Cherry is right to feel incredibly disappointed in an old friend.
