Coach's Corner - Gretzky's Speech

[@raitisfreimanis]

2:24 "All you people!". Don has been saying that for many years. Isn't that what the lefties canned him for?

[@MarkStamcoff]

Thanks for pointing that out. I read the hockey night in Canada TV ratings are down signifatley since he left. Or was fired on Remebrance Day for defending veterans.

[@KristenHammerback-pk5wy]

Yup!

[@KristenHammerback-pk5wy]

Liberals just hate anyone who has national pride. Liberals hate their own countries, at least American and Canadian Liberals. I wish these people would move, since they hate our country so much. Hey, how about Libya? Bangladesh? Rwanda? Iraq? PLEASE move away, Liberals, and let people who actually appreciate America and Canada to take your places. And believe me, millions of people want to immigrate to our countries so they can benefit from the societies we've built. But since you HATE our countries so much, Liberals, why don't you just LEAVE??!! Good riddance to you. Since you all love Islam so much, why don't you go to Saudi Arabia? Have fun trying to get your daughters an education there...

[@chrismich968]

Although I agree with you in the sense that he uses the term 'all you people' pretty generically, I don't think this is a lefty issue. CBC was just looking for a reason to fire Don (unfortunately) as he was too controversial for them. I know you'll say that the CBC is pretty lefty but I wouldn't bucket all liberals into saying, 'the CBC was right to do so under those circumstances'..

[@amelieholbrook3001]

Very good point!

[@rowlandlegg3061]

“We should brag, we should stand up for our country” Go Don!!!! God bless him

[@smfalconsnipers124]

When Don Cherry passes away it’s gonna suck seeing half of Canada not appreciating what this man truly did for Canada. Patriotism and pride in your country is nothing to be embarrassed about. Rep Canada till I die.

[@4lifecuba]

SEE AT FUNERAL BUD

[@smfalconsnipers124]

FREE SPEECH damn liberals got his ass

[@douglasall8447]

Very true brother

[@FamilyMan88]

I often think, they probably won’t even mention in on HNIC when it happens. Disgusting!

[@remme6]

I'm not Canadian. But I love that beautiful game and when I heard what 99 said I thought "Here, here!!". Well said, Wayne.

[@KristenHammerback-pk5wy]

Same!

[@timhick6]

Wayne is a true advocate for the game!! Pure class!!

[@DARK24-7]

When Mr.Gretzky talks everyone listens!!!

[@ericamartinen6527]

awesome how cherry asks them to shush and instant silence!!!

[@timhick6]

Thats mad respect

[@jameslannon9788]

its the respect... Don demands it and Gets it!!

[@darrenmeservia5578]

The Great One... the ONLY Hockey Player I love more than Grapes! As always, you're keeping it real, Don. Another Canadian here... LOUD AND PROUD!!!

[@MarkStamcoff]

well said, I agree!! 2 very famous Canadian's!!

[@darrenmeservia5578]

@Mark Stamcoff Hey, Thanks Mark! It's funny... a few years back, all us Canadians got to vote for our Top 10, All-Time Greatest Canadian. Gretzky was #10, Grapes was #7! Only in Canada can 2 of our 10 Greatest EVER, be Hockey Players!!! What I really can't figure out is how in the Hell did Don beat Wayne??? LMAO! Such is life. I love them both, but Gretzky is my IDOL!

[@MarkStamcoff]

@@darrenmeservia5578 In my opinion Wayne is #1. Have a great night enjoy!!

[@darrenmeservia5578]

DITTO!!! Peace! Mark.

[@benjaminvermeylen3784]

Not The Great One… He’s The Greatest One!

[@uToobeD]

No idea who this guy is but he's so refreshing (host guy)

[@wayneconnell5385]

Bring back Cherry

[@yaniktydetmer4153]

Yes sir respect

[@billyrock8305]

99. The God of hockey has spoken. So it is written. Gold medal for Canada 🇨🇦.

[@brianallen2358]

Are you the four-cupper Billy Smith?

[@douglasall8447]

God bless the Man He is a real Canadian People that don't like him should leave Canada

[@lightningsmokerXx]

When i heard Lemieux was gonna be on the Team and was named Captain , i knew Canada would win.

[@otosurgeon]

WOW: at 1:26 Don Cherry literally silences a bunch of hockey fans chanting his name by holding his finger to his mouth and saying "shhhh! Quiet!" .....never in my life have I seen a journalist be able to do this. This is the opposite of journalist/reporter fails.

[@eddyf4426]

+otosurgeon Jedi mind trick! Extreme respect is what it is.

[@DavidTa2]

Boss

[@Deehvad]

Well, they are Canadian. They probably apologized profusely to Grapes off air.

[@bopperstudio395]

It’s obvious when he says “ you people”. He is not racially motivated with it. It’s just a figure of speech that he has always used in conversation. First period intermissions on Saturday nights will never be good again. Gretzky and Cherry are possibly the 2 greatest Canadians of all time!!

[@KristenHammerback-pk5wy]

Yes. The "you're a racist" accusation is the new McCarthyism.

[@amelieholbrook3001]

Well said, but the crazy Left is on a tear. They are out to destroy everything we hold dear, even while continuing to live and thrive in the countries they detest so much. Sick of it. But whatever, thank you for your comments!

[@imaratspal]

Yeah, every time someone uses two words together, it always means the same thing no matter the context

[@ethel1690cardew]

Hockey we should let the world know we are the best at every chance. Never shy away from letting the world know who is the best.

[@MarkStamcoff]

I agree, thanks for the comment

[@alexlongfield2113]

Back when Canada was awesome.

[@tiktokliveencounters9297]

Canada is and always will be awesome you idiot

[@purushaonezeroeight165]

Super. Well said. For. Sure. Thank you. Wayne. Thank you. Don Mr Gretzky. Mr Cherry. 🇨🇦

[@Rawdiswar]

Here is an instance where I actually agree with Cherry. We need to stop bringing ourselves down in Canada.

[@eddyf4426]

+Rawdiswar I have lived abroad for 13 years.. it makes my love for Canada even stronger.. people at home have lost perspective on how good they have it. Our values of integrity, honesty, care for each other and even the ability to criticize our government and game we love without scorn or imprisonment is something we should appreciate it!

[@darrenmeservia5578]

I agree with you both. LOUD & PROUD!!! Peace! from Alberta.

[@WowHealthyDesiFood]

excellent video ...

[@rowlandlegg3061]

Don is the GOAT!

Good video edition

[@burtmann3921]

Wayne at that time 2002 took all the pressure off of the team during the olympics put it onto himself and the team regrouped focused and went on to win the gold. Very smart thing for Wayne to do at the time.

[@shaneshiyoji5791]

GOD!!!!!!

[@jimwade7680]

He may be humdy dumdy....but hes a prond canadian....and specks his mine.....one of the only guys that stands up for canada....

[@MarkStamcoff]

I agree with you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 😊

[@ericamartinen6527]

yeah im hot

[@timhick6]

Same thing happened during the summit series in vancouver

[@jameslannon9788]

another reason why Don Cherry should not have been removed from TV. A fast decision to please a small number of loud voices. Sad to see such a man who has forgotten more hockey knowledge than anyone else will ever learn. Love Don, miss Don.

[@RIUUI007]

He has a podcast if you didn't know. He's been releasing an episode a week for about two years now, with his son and daughter.

[@barryallen827]

Classic!

[@lannon4prez]

I miss my country.

[@harrygrewal9208]

It was a better time. Miss Cherry and Gretz

[@MoveInSilence23]

Canada needs to have some pride in themselves. Hockey is Canada's game.

[@darrenmeservia5578]

Yes, it is! LOUD & PROUD, WORLD!!! Peace! from Alberta, Canada.

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

We Finnish More hockey crazy and better hockey culture than Canada! Finland vs Russia Juniors under 20 years olds worlds final in 2016 drew 2,4 million tv ratings In Finland! Finland population only 5,5 million! Don Cherry brainwashed the people of Canada to hate other countries! Good lord they got rid Off this hate talker stone age Nazi Cherry!!

[@canuck_gamer3359]

Mark these words folks, sometimes the truth is unpopular and when you can lose your job for stating the truth, you no longer have a democracy. Canada is a propped up semi-democracy that has set up the future of it's own fall. When the people who Don was calling out someday run the country, we won't have a democracy anymore and it will be hell. I'm happy that I will be long gone by then but I saw the truth too and I always loved Don for speaking the truth, whether it was popular or not.

[@mikecaryk3924]

Miss Don Cherry

[@neilgoldring6494]

At 1:27 Cherry = "Shut the f••k up I'm talkin' over here" lol, Oh Canada 🇨🇦 🤟

[@bl02cs]

Run for prime minister Don, you’re the best

[@SeanHenderson]

When the Pope of hockey says SHADDUP! YA SHADDUP! Try that in America! Mad respect grapes!

[@calvinw8470]

This was in America. Salt Lake City 2002.

[@cookcook866]

Well said wayne let em mouth off you i have been my hero for a long time and still are i am a proud canadian

[@Crazy__Canuck]

Don and Ron are the GOAT Canadian hockey broadcasters. I remember people went wild when they let Ron MacLean go... They re-hired him within weeks lol

[@augzsearchingforthewayne9007]

The power of Cherry

[@onelungshogun]

Lol "to the nines."

[@uToobeD]

I'm Australian and really have no context what this is about, but I'd say (at least 11 years ago) people in the world did view Canada favourably generally speaking (if they even thought or knew about them at all), and the view of Candada was probably higher than that of the United States. However I do feel at the moment, and the last period of time, with Justin Trudeau a lot of people have started to look down on Canada a bit.

[@yaniktydetmer4153]

Te goat Wayne

[@armandoenriquez1104]

After four years of 1998 on Kazuki from 1996 to 2016.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

That host is acting like a modern whimp of a Canadian, while Big D Don cherry is being a patriot and backing up the great one. Sincerely an American from Las Vegas.

[@georgeskondras1513]

I know this is pretty old... But has Gretzky said anything in defense of Cherry 🤔 I'm betting not

[@timyumichuck9262]

Now all we have is "all those people", Ron Maclean is such a corporate puppet and mouth piece.

[@MrHelp-yd4kn]

I met Wayne on many occasions. Nice guy. But shit, the guy embarassed NHL players almost every night. He was that much better.

[@MarkStamcoff]

I met him once. I just found my autograph last Summer. It had been missing since I moved in 1991. Funny thing is I found it about a month before that commercial with him and his dad finding his Tim Horton autograph. 😁

[@yaniktydetmer4153]

Respect cherry

[@joseph007kl]

Listen, all you people,...CANADA taught the world how to play hockey,..We are the ,.Canadian National Hockey League.CNHL

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

"Canada eats its own" 😅

[@santacruz986]

McLean showing his colors

[@tommycodfish]

Ron always brings multiculturalism into this. If there multi coloured Canadians playing on team Canada they would still get treated the same. In regards to you people quoted by Don it could be anybody but people today choose to be offended.

[@billmcdonald4045]

I wanna click thumbs up but the counts at 299

[@musicman76enator]

368 now

[@benjaminpaul1224]

Of course Ron Maclean has to open his weasel mouth and ruin it.

[@dlpnrmp1212]

He's a whipping boy

[@retrobluemusic]

that whimpy aspect made this segment more entertaining cause it fires don up.

[@jimgray3346]

Fuck everyone. We won the gold.

[@thefinaldispatch]

Back when Canadian pride didn’t mean something else lol

[@kenryu364]

Who cares this just a sport. There are real issues Canadians should worry about like domestic violence, starving vets, and homelessness.

[@harbar3000]

Trump 2020. His vision is perfect.

[@patkrueger3866]

Too bad McLean didn't have Cherry 's back when all he did was exercise his freedom of speech. I guess he forgot about all the times Cherry was there for him. Cherry is missed and is an amazing Canadian. Shame on you McLean

[@RaginRonic]

Trump wanted anyone on the 'left' executed just for being alive. Therefore, he's a terrorist of the worst order. =P

[@jeffreyturcotte420]

I hate McLean even more now...

[@tjjay2438]

Ron Maclean was a weasel from day 1

[@andrewlepiane7441]

Ron is so cringey .. its bad .. i miss the old coach’s corner

[@kodiak1966]

Nobody cares what Cherry thinks....why is this guy still on the air? Cherry saying that Bobby Orr is the greatest player of all time just shows how much he knows about hockey. Yeah, he was a great defenceman but that's where it ends....CBC should have fired him after season one of coach's corner.

[@The10ranger10]

a good defenceman? you sir are an idiot!

[@gymguy25]

Oh of course, Gretzky had more points, therefore, he was greater right? Hey, did you know that in hockey, there's something called the defensive aspect of the game? Obviously not, if you said what you said, but to see a player's overall effectiveness, you look at the +/-. In career +/- per game, Bobby Orr is #1 all time at +0.91/game, 2nd is Robinson at 0.53. This is one of the rare stats where his shortened career probably worked in his favor but still, that's one of the most lopsided statistics in hockey.

[@Sportstouring]

gymguy25 Compare +/- over the course of the same number of games. Not 10yrs for Orr and 20 for Gretzky. Do 10 to 10. Actually, do 10 vs 10 on any stat you want when you compare Orr to anyone. Start with Gretzky's first 10yrs vs Orr's first 10. Make sure you are sitting down when you look at the results.

[@alexwilliams8635]

I think it is safe to say it is debatable.

[@tails14202]

a lot of people care what cherry says! a lot more then you bud. bobby Orr is a great defense man. He's considered the best defenseman of all-time! You could argue who's the best player of all-time between Orr, Gretzky, and Lemieux and not be wrong. nobody cares what Pittsburgh fans think ur team all most left town before Crosby saved it!

[@liamoconnor9017]

That's the moment that the Canadian guys won the gold medal you think they're going to let Wayne Gretzky down no one had a chance absolutely no one had a chance Wayne did not play that game but he won the gold medal
