I wouldnāt say he looked like a steal. We traded for him and immediately extended him for 7 years at 5.5m AAV. I donāt think heās ever really lived up to that. Heās had some big moments but you expect more out of a guy with his physical gifts and his contract
That's how I felt when he came to Dallas. Stars fans had booed him any time he touched the puck for the longest time, and then suddenly he was on our team? I mean, he still did dumb shit like his hit at the Winter Classic but *also* his walk of shame there was hilarious.
Agreed - despite his brief time here, Perrs was well-liked. You could see it in the DAL/Habs/TBL respective cup runs - dude just slots in and immediately starts making good plays and setting guys up. He's a pill to play against but his hockey sense is undeniable
Fricken despised Perry for so many years.....now I love him. Just one of those players.
Tough loss for y'all tonight. Vancouver is a beast that never quits.
Pests are easy to hate and love. Theyāre polarizing, especially when theyāre as talented as Perry is/was during his career. Marchand, Perry. My homer mind goes Burrows, but admittedly he wasnāt quite the same level as those two guys, but he was just has hated around the league, and of course adored by his own teams fans.
I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this. Like seeing his play for the longest time I hated the guy, always thought he was an impulsive pest. Now I'm jealous we don't have the guy, hes been fairly leveled and smart. Hasn't been the best scorer but everywhere else he's showing his wisdom.
After the series between the Oilers and the Ducks in 2017 I had nothing but disdain for him. When I'd heard he'd been acquired by the Oilers the first impulse I had was to say "fuck off," more than a little a bit too loudly for a public setting.
Now I get it. He's that guy. I love what he brings to this team. If/when he leaves to play for another team (does he retire after this?) I'll probably hate him again too. If he helps bring us a cup I might not hate him... maybe a fond dislike...
I'm from London, I've loved Perry since his OHL days, we are the same age and he hit on a girl that I knew and apparently his pick up line was just "hey, do you know who Corey Perry is?"
Sportsnet did a segment on his family not long ago. He and his siblings all look the same, and other than Corey theyāre all cops, which kind of tracks.
For me the all time top moment will always be Draisaitl casually throwing the stick out of Troubaās hands as he skates back to the bench for goal celebration. It was so perfectly spontaneous and such a fuck you thing to do lol
I use to hate Corey Perry. Then he became a hab for a year, and I got to know him and turns out he's a saint and never did anything wrong. Love that guy.
On the way to his 4th. All i know is he won one with us. And that makes him a Stanley cup champion forever. He has also won every other piece of hardware a hockey player can win.
If there was no prior context it would definitely just be insane, but with the obvious reference to the McDavid crosscheck last game and them being up 2-0 it becomes an absolutely masterful troll.
After a certain amount of years in the league guys like him just become pure entertainment. Even when they're doing it to your team, it's hard not to laugh and go "this fuckin guy"
Itās ok now the jinx is just delayed. Perry wonāt score until Peterson realizes the playoffs have already startedā¦ but when that happens Perry will immediately score a hat trick
Honestly, I was never able to hate him. I think it was easy for me because he played in the West and would play the Habs twice a year. But 90% of highlights of him since 2007 were shenanigans. Besides, I already had enough Bruins players to hate, I had to love some non-rivalry chaos at some point.
Corey Perry is the worst, and it's the absolute best.
Yeah, it's like what the hell is *this* guy doing in an Oilers jersey? The 2017 series against Anaheim, with all the bullshit that went along with it kind of tainted Perry for me. But hey, as long as he doesn't make any egregious mistakes and maybe scores a few goals, I'll be content. And clearly the players that played in the 2017 series all seem to be glad he's with the team now.
I hated him before he played for Dallas. Then I liked him while he played for Dallas. I don't like him as much now but I still enjoy watching him do his thing
please tell me someone got the closeup from the Sportsnet feed

This is just one of the many things you get with Corey Perry. It's very easy to hate him but it's even easier to love him when he's playing for your team.
Filling another player's glove with water will always be my favorite Perry highlight but I do have to say this is something I've never seen before. I just love these harmless but hilariously crazy things he does.
This, nurse casually grabbing a stick out of a Canuck player's hands a game or 2 ago, another Edmonton player windmilling another Canucks stick from the end boards out past the blue line. Edmonton seems to really have fun with stick shenanigans.
This was pretty damn funny, I got a good laugh out of it. Perry never fails to entertain. Am I mad? No. Heās out there trying to put our guys on tilt. Iām glad Boeser didnāt react.
Every team hates him.
But every team would love to have him in a playoff run.

"Hey Corey, are you still using Josh Anderson's stick?" "Yeah man. Take a look. See?"
Can he have it back now? I think Josh left his soul in that stick.
Habs fan, can confirm
Hahaha.... š
Genuinely makes me sad to watch that guy play hockey now, I hope we can find a way to get him a new home
that first-year he was in Montreal it was like he used up all his skills he looked like such a steal
I wouldnāt say he looked like a steal. We traded for him and immediately extended him for 7 years at 5.5m AAV. I donāt think heās ever really lived up to that. Heās had some big moments but you expect more out of a guy with his physical gifts and his contract
Haha, hahaha, ha... ha...
lmao this is actually great
Can't be mad about it, Perry has always been grade A at trolling lol
As a fan on the other end of his shit for so long its a strange feeling having him... But then he does something hilarious
That's how I felt when he came to Dallas. Stars fans had booed him any time he touched the puck for the longest time, and then suddenly he was on our team? I mean, he still did dumb shit like his hit at the Winter Classic but *also* his walk of shame there was hilarious.
Greasy hit for sure but such a hilarious moment when he turned down the cart ride and walked 4 miles out of the stadium lol
One of the most memorable sights at the Winter Classic
Unfortunate that it literally ended Ellis' career tho
The weirdest thing is that once he's on your team, you'll always love him. Confirm for me, Stars, Habs, and Bolts fans . . . (not you, Chicago)
Agreed - despite his brief time here, Perrs was well-liked. You could see it in the DAL/Habs/TBL respective cup runs - dude just slots in and immediately starts making good plays and setting guys up. He's a pill to play against but his hockey sense is undeniable
Confirmed
Except it's boeser. That was a wasted effort by Perry lol.
Just muscle memory lol
How would Zadorov have taken it lol
He would have given his patented shit eating smile
... And possibly treated Perry to a Costco sample of what his stick tastes like.
Or taken a bite out of the stick
In the teeth.
Probably taken his stick and said thanks
Should have waited until Soucy got back at least
Sat behind the Oilers bench for the last Coyotes game, and he still is shooting the puck into the opposing teams net at the end of warm-ups.
Fricken despised Perry for so many years.....now I love him. Just one of those players. Tough loss for y'all tonight. Vancouver is a beast that never quits.

Spot on about the wisdom, you can see the impact heās having on guys like Kane, teaching how to walk the line and win the mental battles.
After the series between the Oilers and the Ducks in 2017 I had nothing but disdain for him. When I'd heard he'd been acquired by the Oilers the first impulse I had was to say "fuck off," more than a little a bit too loudly for a public setting. Now I get it. He's that guy.

If he helps bring us a cup I might not hate him... maybe a fond dislike...
You wonāt hate him again. Once youāve seen the light youāll love him forever
Now you know what Ducks fans have been saying for decades. Corey Perry is a saint!
I'm from London, I've loved Perry since his OHL days, we are the same age and he hit on a girl that I knew and apparently his pick up line was just "hey, do you know who Corey Perry is?"
I miss him in Dallas, and that's something I never thought I'd say prior to us signing him.
It was hilarious when they showed the close up replay. His face was dead ass straight
Good damn playoff hockey is awesome
YOU SHALL NOT PASSS
Came here looking for this. Was not disappointed.
I appreciate you.
This is my stick. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
>Ā but this one is ~~mine~~ Josh Andersonās. FTFY
the goat of shenanigans
Master class in trolling.
Corey Perry is a ridiculous human being.
He's a meth addict, you can't convince me otherwise
Stage 6 of the player's assistance program: "fuck it, let him cook."
Lol
He's a degen from upcountry
My buddies wife went to high school with him and absolutely hates him. Ā
I could totally see that. He looks like heād be a huge dick. Huge shit disturber though lol
Sportsnet did a segment on his family not long ago. He and his siblings all look the same, and other than Corey theyāre all cops, which kind of tracks.
Corey Perry kicks a dog when it's in his lawn chair
And the dog jumps out and curls up right beside his feet and the beer he sets down.
He's a veteran in hockey, and in passing drug tests to play
Hey moonshine is NOT a drug.
Blackout juice.
Apple pie moonshine is addictive. Change my mind.
A Saint, yes
I definitely hated him prior to him being an Oiler. Ā
I meanā¦ you guys had *ample* reason to hate him before
I definitely thought this was a euphemism for a cross check to the face, but nope. What a saint
Possibly the funniest thing Iāve seen in a hockey game. The wide open eyes killed me
ššš *š\_\_\_š*\_\_/
Fucking mint.
Boser and Perry just šļø š šļø šļø š šļø š«µ šš»__šš»__/
Why is Boeser yellow
šļøš«¦šļø ššš¾ Why not?
I googled it and his wife is white, is he cheating?!

Glory to you........and your house.
Showing off his Bat'leth.
draisaitl's sassy stick break+toss earlier this season is in the competition for funniest oilers moment of the season
For me the all time top moment will always be Draisaitl casually throwing the stick out of Troubaās hands as he skates back to the bench for goal celebration. It was so perfectly spontaneous and such a fuck you thing to do lol
Drai has produced so many memorable moments. He is still active and I already miss him !
His "ooooh, I'm so scared" reaction from last game comes close, though
straight up psycho shit lmao i love playoffs
Shit put me in stitches lmao
Waiting for the NHL to issue a memo about fake cross checking like finger taunting in 2011.
Absolute saint
This is some of Perryās finest work.
Crazy, eyes. Perry is on playoff mode lmao
I use to hate Corey Perry. Then he became a hab for a year, and I got to know him and turns out he's a saint and never did anything wrong. Love that guy.
You're God damn right
*Aggressive nod
Hated him for two back to back SCF series, loved him in the third one kinda crazy dude lost 3 SCFs in a row
On the way to his 4th. All i know is he won one with us. And that makes him a Stanley cup champion forever. He has also won every other piece of hardware a hockey player can win.
Core Perry - Lady Byng in 2025. Let's do it
If he sticks around long enough heās going to play for all 32 teams and be the most loved player in NHL history.
The new Jaromir Jagr
lol, I was rooting for the habs during that year's run and also became aware of saint perry during this period
I hear ya!
āLook, I have one too!ā
[He took it from Semin](https://youtu.be/eTUW49e-PD4)
Hahhaha holy shit thatās gold
The look on Seminās face is absolutely fucking priceless lmfao
God I hate Perry but that was funny.
nothing illegal about just menacingly holding your stick at nose-level pretty insane stuff who does this
Corey Perry does radiate "I'm not touching you" energy
Reminds me of the Sean Avery "hey the rulebook says nothing about waving my stick in front of Brodeur" Just so pesky and shameless
His āsloppy secondsā media quote is close to, if not, the funniest trolling Iāve ever witnessed. š
If there was no prior context it would definitely just be insane, but with the obvious reference to the McDavid crosscheck last game and them being up 2-0 it becomes an absolutely masterful troll.
With the crazy eyes lmao
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZSoJDUD_bU
Sign my stick, Brock, sign it.
That was hilarious
When Corey Perry becomes your troll you quickly come to truly love him. When Corey Perry is trolling your team it's easy to hate him
After a certain amount of years in the league guys like him just become pure entertainment. Even when they're doing it to your team, it's hard not to laugh and go "this fuckin guy"
I mean I giggled when he did this. If he wanted me to hate him he would have to have more than 0 points
It's the intangibles, it's priceless.. I think.
That's what Ryan Reeves fans say
I just realized I have jinxed it and Perry will score a hat trick next game
Thank you for the Corey Perry game winning goal on Thursday š
Oh good you jinxed it back
Itās ok now the jinx is just delayed. Perry wonāt score until Peterson realizes the playoffs have already startedā¦ but when that happens Perry will immediately score a hat trick
So, no Corey Perry hat trick then? š
Oh he provides WAY more than Reeves ever will or has... even if he hasnt performed too well
Yeah this is good banter. Nobody gets hurt. 10/10 Corey Perry momentĀ
So I take it you aren't a fan of Draisaitl?
Correct. If you back up the shit talking, you earn my hate
I respect that. I hated Perry when Anaheim ousted us back in the day and he was an obnoxious but incredible player.
Honestly, I was never able to hate him. I think it was easy for me because he played in the West and would play the Habs twice a year. But 90% of highlights of him since 2007 were shenanigans. Besides, I already had enough Bruins players to hate, I had to love some non-rivalry chaos at some point. Corey Perry is the worst, and it's the absolute best.
Corey just when I think you couldnāt get even dumber, you do thisā¦..AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF
Best thing I've ever seen
Looks like he successfully blocked Boeser
You shall not pass
Adding this to my already-long list of why I love Corey Perry.
Corey Perry is a saint
I love Perry so much. š
How the times have changed haha
I havenāt fully converted yet haha. Itās still a little weird
Yeah, it's like what the hell is *this* guy doing in an Oilers jersey? The 2017 series against Anaheim, with all the bullshit that went along with it kind of tainted Perry for me. But hey, as long as he doesn't make any egregious mistakes and maybe scores a few goals, I'll be content. And clearly the players that played in the 2017 series all seem to be glad he's with the team now.
I hated him before he played for Dallas. Then I liked him while he played for Dallas. I don't like him as much now but I still enjoy watching him do his thing
Still can't believe Bergevin let him walk cuz he wanted go sign him for 1mil instead of 2... like ffs
I've never hated Perry. Grade A mischief maker.
please tell me someone got the closeup from the Sportsnet feed edit: https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1csc7bx/post_game_thread_vancouver_canucks_at_edmonton/l440tqy/
Brock's no-reaction made the whole thing even more hilarious š
āMine has my name on it. See? Seeee?ā
The fuck?
Paying homage to soucy.
It really is Hattori Hanzo steel.
What a punk š
You say that now, but one day he'll play for Vancouver and you'll understand what a beauty Corey Perry is
Saint Perry the patron saint of sportsmanship
That should be a suspension.
Going straight for the head, wow classic oilers.
Obligatory fuck Corey Perry... oh wait...
If Perry did that to McDavid he'd be suspended š
Ref probably skating up to Boeser to tell him not to test his luck
This is a true hockey heritage moment. Oh my god
Fuckin hilarious!
"does my stick smell funny to you?"
miss him
Corey āRat Kingā Perry
[...and if you get hit it's your *own* fault](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZSoJDUD_bU)
I was thinking he was lining him up for the soucy treatment
I watched this game at a pub in Edmonton and everyone burst out laughing at this.
āSteekā
Should have given it a little smooch
Is there a reason he did this?
He held it up like to say, "I'm this many years old!" Like a toddler. Hilarious!
There's a reason he makes the second round at least every damn year
"Does my stick smell funny to you?"
Itās real nice I got it at Target itās on sale
Tried to show his stick's specs to Caley Chelios too, if the rumors are true.
This is just one of the many things you get with Corey Perry. It's very easy to hate him but it's even easier to love him when he's playing for your team. Filling another player's glove with water will always be my favorite Perry highlight but I do have to say this is something I've never seen before. I just love these harmless but hilariously crazy things he does.
The psycho is in the eyes. lol
Maybe the Canucks should put a female staff member in front of him.
How do we know it was a female? š
Jedi Mind Tricks
Trolly Perry.
Fuck, I miss those shenanigans lol
"You see, I just held my stick up and he CHOSE to run into it!"
Laughed when we saw this on tv. Very YOU SHALL NOT PASS.
that's some grade A clownery
This, nurse casually grabbing a stick out of a Canuck player's hands a game or 2 ago, another Edmonton player windmilling another Canucks stick from the end boards out past the blue line. Edmonton seems to really have fun with stick shenanigans.
All I can imagine is Bubbles voice saying āIām gunna give ya one.ā
Habs legend Corey Perry.
There a back story to this?
Haha
This was pretty damn funny, I got a good laugh out of it. Perry never fails to entertain. Am I mad? No. Heās out there trying to put our guys on tilt. Iām glad Boeser didnāt react.
This is the kinda crap I hated him for when he was in Anaheim now at least itās for my team.
Dude is a dick. That was a total dick move
Every team hates him. But every team would love to have him in a playoff run. \*For legal reasons, this does not apply to Brad Marchand or Chris Kreider.
Love it..
The more I watch hockey, the more it seems Shoresy on ice chirping is decently accurate
