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.

I didn't see much of 80s-90s coach's corner on a count of being a child.

Can't believe the plug wasn't pulled on them in the late 00s given how long it had already been on.
They're even older than I realize sometimes. Why the #### is Ron still on TV at this stage. He's going to go from tooting the oilers' horn straight to the hospice.
