The second officer they eulogized was not involved in hockey in any way. Why was he even mentioned? It negated everything they said about Marc Pinizzotto. How is that not steering away to culture outside hockey? #ronmaclean
It’s cool how on the Stanley Cup Finals broadcasts they showed the player’s parents cheering in the stands. Where was Carter Hart’s parents ? #RonMaclean#Hurricanes#GoldenKnights#StanleyCup
#ronmaclean is the best sports host in history!! He doesn't need to apologize. Nobody is upset unless you are a sick individual. Nobody even cared. Ron keep entertaining us. #hnic#cbc
#RonMacLean has been a gold standard Canadian sports personality for decades...did not do himself any favours w/a flippant (ill advised) comment about #Roofies, whether it was meant to be as an attempt at a funny skit or not. Not good.
On Nov 9, 2019, during Hockey Night in Canada, Don Cherry’s remarks about immigrants and poppies. On Nov 11, Ron MacLean apologized on Sportsnet for not challenging him on air. Cherry was fired, ending 38 yrs on Coach’s Corner. Fans are still split in 2025, some back MacLean’s apology, others see it as a betrayal of his friend. X posts and articles show ongoing anger, with many calling it a defining moment in Canadian hockey.

This proved to me when @CBC became woke. #ronmaclean#hockeynightincanada were coward's and bent a knee to the woke/PC mob wanting Cherry's head for pointing out a "fact". Integration is acceptance of the culture you adopted as your new home! It's a tragedy!
...and this is why @TSPSimmerDown is the wisest voice in #SensNation.
Underrated. Underplayed... and has the smarts and charisma to replace #RonMaclean any day of the week!!
