It's the double-whammy of Gerbudskin followed by Gufferson that really got me.

He did nothing wrong

Doesnt Sleep I know that

[@bigdaddyd6592]

I'm from the U.S. and never watched Coach's Corner and figured I'd watch some of the stuff to see why everyone is going so crazy about keeping him around. What he said was interpreted poorly and they didn't even give him a chance to fight his case. And he worked there for 30-40 years right? Brutal.

[@gorgon7823]

He can’t even pronounce the last names of “good Canadian boys” correctly.

He literally does on purpose. Jeff Marek said Don actually writes them down the "wrong" way before going on the air and pronouncing them that way, haha. Genius.

[@gregholman2431]

Lol, I was totally thinking of adding something like "Don't forget about Kevin Bieksa", but of course there is a bonus segment totally focused on Kevin Bieksa here. One thing, though, is don't forget about Roberto Luongo here. Don Cherry always tended to call him (something like) "Lalongo", basically.
