It seems like Ron MacLean, a familiar face on Hockey Night in Canada is losing favor with a plethora of NHL fans. MacLean, known for his longtime role as a presenter and for being one half of the iconic Coach's Corner with Don Cherry, has seen public sentiment shift against him. Recently, MacLean hosted a segment alongside Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri and executive chairman Edward Rodgers. The segment discussed Rogers' buyout of Bell Media's stake in Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, but not everyone appreciated MacLean's involvement. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/omerosman200/status/1836484075059806378'> </a></blockquote></div> Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons didn't hold back in his criticism, writing that MacLean should have declined the segment, accusing him of losing his self-respect and participating in what he called an embarrassing infomercial. <q> Ron MacLean should have said no. But clearly, his own self-respect has disappeared over time. He didn't have to participate in that dog-and-pony show interview with Ed Rogers and Tony Staffieri after the huge sale at MLSE. MacLean has been around long enough to have walked away from that embarrassing infomercial. </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sportsnet/status/1836480867343950096'> </a></blockquote></div> It adds to the growing criticism of MacLean, which began after he didn't publicly support his longtime friend Don Cherry when Cherry was controversially fired. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/bradytrett/status/1195870868968108032'> </a></blockquote></div> MacLean stirred more controversy earlier this year by celebrating Cherry's birthday, only to be called out by Cherry's son for doing so in a negative light. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/expos4ever10/status/1836483264212533313'> </a></blockquote></div> As time goes on, it seems MacLean's once-unshakable status in Canadian hockey media is fading.
