Contract Termination: [CHI] F Corey Perry contract terminated by the Blackhawks

[Night Shift]

So what did he do? Seems like simply saying it might make some of the rumors die down. Unless whatever it is is worse than the rumors, they should just say wtf happened.

All parties involved don't owe random internet person an explanation.

 

[General Fanager]

The “Hawks” are just a company/organization that employs human beings like everyone else. Those human beings that were there in the past were the ones without standards. The ones that deserve the criticism. Names like John McDonough, Stan Bowman, coach Q, Rocky Wirtz(former owner now passed away).

When are people going to start directing the hate towards those who deserve it? Instead of blaming the city of Chicago or the actual indianhead logo itself?

Bottom line is the Hawks cleaned house and hired new people. Those people aren’t going to make the same awful mistakes, you would hope, moving forward. The way they’ve handled the Perry situation shows already how serious they are.

Of course I only speak for myself but those guys not being there anymore doesnt just make me respect them again. Trust and respect is earned.

Do people realize the Bedard mom story was literally made up by a reddit user?

Just like the Aldrich recommendation letter

 

[Dr Pepper]

Nice to see some more clarity that should finally put the Bedard rumour out of commission for good.

Good on Perry, hopefully he gets the help he needs.

 

[theguardianII]

Well the story pivots to why did Chicago not clear the air about this rumour immediately especially once it made main stream news.

Of course but he didn't say they did. He said saying what actually happened might kill the rumours. Instead it's creating a Streisand effect. For instance there have been a couple of TMZ headlines that are pretty salacious that wouldn't happen because hockey is mostly ignored.

I hope he gets the help that he needs - I do a lot of mental health/substance abuse work in my "real job", and it's a hell of a beast.

What are you on about? Your real job is HF Admin!

If all he did was get drunk at the event, why would that be secret? I don't buy that he just got drunk!

 

[HogTown06]

So Corey Perry turns out to be a scumbag... Who would have thought...

Probably because of the people involved. Theres way more to the story that him just getting drunk at a corporate event

When you halfass two jobs, it’s like one job.

They were respecting Perry's decision to wait and make his own statement? I'm kinda shocked this is even a question.

 

[SuperScript29]

There's definitely more to the story than "mental/alcohol" issue. The statement from Perry seems very vague and a few days late might I add. I would say it almost feels like it was forced to be pushed out for damage control sake.

There's more to the story, even Perry himself hints that something happened since he apologized for his actions. If it was mental issues/alcohol abuse you'd think the Hawks would rather get him the help he needs to save face rather than terminate his contract.

Melanie Bedard kind of looks like Gretzky

He didn't. There were actions that he did while drunk.

There is, which is why they would choose the termination of his contract route, rather than just suspend him and get him help for substance abuse.

Maybe he was playing grab ass...

Clearly, that's not the whole story, but I don't know if we'll ever get all of it.

Obviously the bigger issue is what he did when he was drunk off his ass.

 

[Night Shift]

He didn't. There were actions that he did while drunk.

The tickle monster?

I kid relax...

I'm not sure how much time you've spent around NHLers and NHL execs, but having a bit of experience in that area, grab ass is a Tuesday.

If that was it, he must have picked the VERY wrong ass.

Remember this fight, when Perry got embarrassed by Datsyuk. Well, same season Perry is NHL MVP.

Why do you say that?

 

[Daishi]

Just search up perry on twitter, youll find it in two seconds.

It's not something you can be legally fired for, though. So it's just BS.

"Perry got embarrassed by Datsyuk."

how about much smaller opponent , who never fights vs bigger goon
