Are Ducks fans still down on Perry?

[koyvoo]

There has been lots of talk of how he (contract and play) has become one of the biggest burdens on the team. Is the narrative still the same after his past few of performances ?

They should love him, his goalie interference/60 is off the charts.

Yes! But tonight he eats like a king! Most hoping this season was an outlier and he regains some form next year. One key goal doesn't give him a season long pass. If that was a goal that raised the Stanley Cup it would be different.

True but just to be factual he now has 2 key overtime goals this year.

Pretty much this. You can count on one hand the amount of good games he's had this year, but as long as we keep winning no one will care.

 

[HanSolo]

For tonight I love him

 

[George Binks]

I'm pretty high on him ATM

 

[McDonald19]

Very happy for him right now.

But yes that contract is going to be a problem in the next few years.

It wasnt just ducks fans

He was playing 3rd line min on a team that doesnt really run 3 lines

 

[TheStroker]

Only a complete moron would ever be down on Corey Perry

 

[Unholy]

Hoping this makes him go on a tear. He looked better than he did in the regular season for the first couple games against the Flames then went back to looking useless.

What a huge goal for him

 

[Getzmonster]

How could we be, is there a more lovable player in the league?

8.625M cap hit through 21/22. 10M salary this year. A blue line full of guys who are going to need money. A player who's quickly going the way of Dustin Brown.

Have fun.

For tonight I love him

This...he's had a rough year and has looked off 80-90 percent of the year.

But props tonight for sure. He's got some swagger back in the last few games.

I sense some salt.

No regrets here. At the time, guy was a top goal scorer and there was no one out there to replace someone of his ilk. The contract might become an albatross, but it is what it is. I still have faith he has some good years left in him. Is he overpaid right now? Undoubtedly, but again the contract was an understandable one given the context.

I think it's kinda cool that Perry and Getz are likely going to be Ducks for their whole careers.

 

[AngelDuck]

I've always loved him. Underperformance or not. He's been one of two constants for this team for over a decade now

Who gives a ****? They have the money to pay the guys they need to pay and are good at drafting.

He had 50+ points this season in a bad year and could still bounce back

 

[Not So Mighty]

We are rightfully gushing over him right now, but yeah, his contract is going to be a huge burden in the coming years. I liked him in the last two games but it doesn't blind me to the stinker season he put up. Hopefully this year was an anomaly.

 

[Olympus Mons]

I think he had a nice game 4 and a great game 5. We'll see how his game 6 is but he's definitely the hero tonight.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Big game player.

Double OT winner to cap off one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the sport? Fun doesn't begin to describe it.

 

[Kale Hulls]

He had a terrible terrible regular season.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]
