Cherry then talks about how he realized that Astrom wasn't going to cut it. "We were working on break-out drills. I shoot the puck at him from the red line and it goes right through his legs and in. I grab another puck, shoot it at him and that one goes in. 'Next drill!' I yell."
Cherry never liked Astrom's sense of style either. "He wore clogs and you'd always here him coming, clomp, clomp, clomp down the hallway," Cherry said. "That drove me and the players nuts, so one day they nailed them to the floor. That didn't stop him from wearing them, so they set them on fire!"
Cherry smiles at the recollection of the story. "Actually, Hardy was a nice guy," Cherry added. "He just had a weakness with pucks!"
