Don Cherry and Ron MacLean were one of the best TV duos in hockey, hosting Coaches Corner and Hockey Night in Canada for several years.

Unfortunately, Cherry was fired in 2019 for his ''You People'' comments regarding people wearing poppies. What fans hated the most, however, was how MacLean refused to stand up for his long time friend and co-host.

And yesterday, �'Grapes'' as they call him, turned 89 years old. While many celebrated, Ron MacLean's name began trending on social media again, calling for him to be fired again.

Check out some fans' reactions on Twitter:
