Auston Matthews, who's stardom started right around Cherry's departure, avoided his brutal honesty, and intelligence of the game.
Now, Auston Matthews is under fire from fans for his embarrassing effort in a brawl against the Philadelphia Flyers. Matthews, who sparked a fight, just stood out of the way and let his teammate, 39-year-old Mark Giordano do the dirty work for him.
Cherry spoke out about the event on his most recent podcast:

Basically, Cherry believes that Matthews shouldn't dish if he can't deal with the consequences.
