It's gonna suck the day Coach's Corner on HNIC is no more. Don Cherry just allowed to go out there(unfortunately,at a much reduced time,which is pathetic by Rogers), and speak his mind on stuff, sometimes not even hockey related. Doesn't matter how many people share his opinion,he'll just go out and say it.
Given how strict and uptight companies are about what people say and do, especially on TV, it's refreshing to just hear him go out and say anything, regardless of how crazy it might be(like just throwing out accusations randomly at people/teams).
Nobody obviously can ever replace Don Cherry, but would be nice to have someone else like that, who just goes out and speaks their mind,regardless of how un "politically correct" they sound,and still be so respected for(and despite) what they say,and has credentials to back their words up.

Yeah, nobody can replace Grapes.
There are so many times I disagree with his opinion on certain topics, but I'm always entertained by what he says and try not to miss CC on Saturday nights.
I'm not sure there's a personality out there right now that can replace him.
Loud mouths like Mike Milbury, Jeremy Roenick, etc... seem to be loud just for the sake of being loud and obnoxious.
Glen Healey isn't bad for 'telling it like is' and Al Strachan was highly entertaining while on the Hot Stove as well.
His battles with Slats were legendary.
I'm guessing that Don will be part of Rogers next season, but like you said, who knows for how long and in what form.
Unlike the CBC, the minute Don says anything that is seen as offensive, he'll probably be pulled.
