Confirmed Signing with Link: [TBL] Corey Perry signs with the Lightning (2 years, $1M AAV)

[OldCraig71]

He helped give French Canada HOPE.




Hope that has now been all but snuffed out.

Wow, what a bigot like thing to say.

 

[HabsDood]

Thank you Corey, it was a lot of fun

Power of the dark side wins again...

Under the O6 rules, 2012 LA Kings don't make playoffs either. More over, they don't exist in a six-team league.

You miss the point. Format goes back this year. Habs likely not as good as this past year.

Power of the dark side wins again...

I like to think of it more like the NWO bringing him home, where he belongs.

 

[Jerkbait]

We lost Perry the leader, not Perry the scoring machine. He had ok and worth his salary in the regular season but stepped up in the playoffs.

Hopefully everybody saw what it takes and it's not as if Weber didn't lead the way.

I like him. Hope he never gets to drink from the cup.....

I believe he already had that drink ...

That was an accidental play and thankfully, Tavares is okay. What a douchebag you are to post something like this.

That poster has been hurt someway by the Lightning. I don't know if the whole team ran over his dog, backed up and ran over it again. He's been in full whine mode for months now.

He trolls the Bolts incessantly…to call it pathetic at this point would be a compliment.

Radulov? It was confirmed that Montreal offered Radulov the same contract as Dallas, but since Dallas has lower taxes, he wanted more money from Montreal, Radulov was just greedy, don't pin this one on Bergevin.

Umm yes. That is well known. But Bergevin only matched after Dallas and after Radulov made his decision.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Man, I love how cocky Tampa has gotten. After 2016-2019 they deserve it. True gem of a team / fan base.

Guess I just relate because Pens have gone back to back too.

Lol you guys were obnoxious as f*** too after B2B. But I now understand the way.

 

[THE HOFF]

my favorite player this year. Tight games are his forte. He embodies the saying : someone you'd love to play with and hate to play against. Amazing leader. Things still happen when he's on the ice, could be a beautiful pass or an ugly goal, a great body check or just a really strong play along the boards. He's still putting on his working boots no matter where/with who he plays and that's why he's earned my respect. Perrychulo will be missed. I considered him our most important player to secure this summer. Happy for him.

Crazy to think saying ''French Canada'' is fine, but If I define myself as a french canadian I get called racist and xenophobic.

 

[Philar299]

So does his finals losing streak and Maroons Finals winning streak cancel each other out?

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Just wanted to drop in to say:

If you cant beat them, join them.

 

[Hostile Offer]

My respect for Perry definitely grew in his year with the Habs. The guy's legs are shot but his hands are still an elite weapon to have around the net. Possibly the most punchable face in the league too lol.

 

[Damifino]

...... Radulov was just greedy, don't pin this one on Bergevin.

I just don't get this mentality. Working for the employer where you take home more $$ to provide your family each month - when your previous employer would not offer market-rate for your service - is an act of greed. OK.. Gotcha.

 

[Absolut]

So the story about Kucherov telling Perry "come join us" in the handshake line may be true after all.

Great depth signing for the Bolts. He was arguably one of Montreal’s top players in the playoffs.

I really wonder though if this is GM Bergervin not offering Corey a contract or Corey wanting a chance at the cup before he hangs them up. Nonetheless, he is still effective, smart, gritty, still has amazing hands, only downside is he skates with cement blocks attached to his ankles.

He knows Montreal isn't a contender. He only has so many years left. I doubt he wants to use them on a team that probably won't even make the playoffs this year.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

This moves marks the start of the decline of the Tampa Bay era. There will be no three-peat. Perry MAY knee someone in the head again though.

Nah, we'll be competitive as long as we're able to spend $50M over the cap every year.

 

[glenbuis]

that was all part of the great russian purge

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

He really didn’t owe us anything. Took a league minimum contract and was the best player on the ice most nights last season. It sucks but what can ya do.

How was he as a player? what can we expect? Details

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

So bummed he is leaving. Absolutely loved him. The most old school player in the league. Tamps fans are gonna love him. All 10 of you.

But seriously no hard feelings. He wants to win and you have to respect that.

More details

 

[theimmortal1]

He legitimately was the toughest player to go against in these last two SCF. Amazing to add him.

 

[jaloviina]

If you can't join them beat them.
