But like most things in this society we hang onto what was once good for too long and fail to put them out to pasture while they're still in most people's good graces, and instead drag it out until they're canceled or old and tired and leave every one with the memory of a tarnished product.

Actually, Coach's Corner was a Canadian cultural phenomenon that was at its peak from the late 80's to the mid 90's (the years that the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em videos were released). It was well past its prime in the 2000's.
In its heyday, however, casual (and even some non-hockey) fans would tune into HNIC every Saturday just to watch Coach's Corner. It was "water cooler" television that everyone talked about Monday morning. There is no modern equivalent on the Canadian sports scene, and there hasn't been for decades.
For those of a certain generation, there is a healthy dose of nostalgia involved whenever Coach's Corner is discussed, which colours the conversation somewhat.
