Player Discussion Corey Perry

[tooji]

4 pts in 7 GP these playoffs. 2 goals and 2 assists. And we got a good look at what this guy was like for the Stars in their run to the final last year. Clutch. He scores the opening goal in Game 6 to set the tone with fans in the stands. And last night, he had the game winning goal and scored the goal that broke the Leafs' back.

dont forget sparking game 5 with a huge hit on sandin causing a turnover leading to our first lead in the series. Turning point of our series

 

[Forsead]

That guy would have been perfect for the Leafs run, too bad for them. Should be resigned and before he hit UFA, he will attract teams this time.

 

[Tuggy]

Couldn't really ask for much more than what he's brought to the team. He's been the perfect vet for this group and you gotta think he makes a big difference off the ice/in the locker room.

AND taking one for the team in game one. Say what you will about the ''code'' and all that but he didn't run from it. I can guarantee you the guys in the locker room all appreciated it big time.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Really hope the Habs can resign Perry. Perfect veteran player for the playoff. We were lucky to get Perry instead of Simmonds.

I've been singing this guys tune since day 1. One of my fav. Habs. Plays the game the right way.
With his goal last night he's third all time in goals in game 7!

 

[Doc5]

Imagine we drafted this man in 2003, wish I lived in that alternate universe, what an elite talent.

 

[Habs13]

Perry should retire a Hab. Perfect bottom six guy and a solid veteran than can show the kids how to play the game.

Took some time for me to warm up but I can't see the lineup without him right now. He's made himself indispensable and he's a 4th line winger.

Great value signing.

No he's not. He's paid like one though, which is great.

They played together in Anaheim I think? But yeah! That would have been amazing...

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

*ahem* it's Scorey Perry

 

[JoelWarlord]

Remembering back to some Leafs fans last September laughing that Simmonds turned down more money from us so we signed Perry instead lmaooooooooo

 

[417]

He does play on the Habs 4th line

Imagine if we had some of the old vets I've picked up in the past but in their prime. Perry, Staal, Kovalchuk, Briere, Hemsky. Man the last 20 years would have unfolded so much differently

 

[aresknights]

Big Perry fan n defending the signing on here from day 1. Saw too much of him in London as a teen to think he wouldn't give anything but everything in the tank to compete n try n win. He is a rare breed among the world's best players as far as compete goes.
And he has made London area his home. Over Cali, class act.

 

[MasterD]

He does play on the Habs 4th line

And the powerplay. But if you want to call a regular PP player a 4th liner, sure, go ahead.

I mean lol whatever...label him whatever you want.

It's secondary to the point I was making.

He had the "A" when either Byron or Gally were out.

He's so clutch it's ridiculous.

 

[Mav1208]

The guy deserves a 2 year deal
I hope he comes back,and recruits Getzlaf to Montreal

Would love if the Habs can get Perry to resign, but I don't think Getzlaf really fits with the team. He's great on faceoffs and during his prime he racked up the assists, but he never really scored goals. Outside one specific season, he averaged only about 12-15 goals a season even in his prime, and most of those were Weber style shots on the pp. If we are going to get another veteran, let's at least get someone who scores goals.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I would easily re-sign Perry to a 2 year deals (1M / year). He's clutch.

 

[Sword]

Big fan of his, the guy is the ultimate villain and a true leader, he always performs during big games. Unlike Stall, he had to earn his spot in the lineup, he was sent to the AHL and even placed on waivers. He's a cup winner, gold medalist and a future HOF, I didn't like how he was treated by the GM.

Btw, is the knee that injured Tavares, the same knee that scored the game winning goal last night?

Isn't that something? He took out Tavares and scored the series winning goal with a knee.

 

[ZUKI]

Like Sergachev will be... in 3-4 more years? You’d be hard pressed to find a more dysfunctional franchise in the entire wold of professional sports. Unfortunately, this franchise is my all time favorite.

The Toronto Maple Leafs
And it wasn't hard to find
