This week on The Produce Stand, we wrap up our coverage of Keep Your Head Up, Kid: The Don Cherry Story, finishing Part 2 of the Jared Keeso-led Don Cherry miniseries.


We pick up with the Cherry family facing one of their toughest moments as Tim battles kidney failure and Cindy steps up to donate a kidney to her brother. The support of Don’s Bruins players provides one of the episode’s most emotional moments before the story shifts back to hockey and Don’s increasingly strained relationship with Boston management.

Then it’s on to the infamous 1979 Bruins-Canadiens Game 7, complete with Don’s iconic bow to the Montreal crowd, Guy Lafleur, Don Marcotte and the devastating too-many-men penalty that helped end Boston’s Stanley Cup hopes.

From there, we follow Don out of Boston, through his brief Colorado Rockies stint and into the unexpected next chapter of his career: television. We watch the beginnings of the personality that would eventually make Coach’s Corner appointment viewing across Canada.

Finally, we give our overall thoughts, ratings and MVPs as we close the book on Keep Your Head Up, Kid and prepare for The Wrath of Grapes.
