RusDRW 155 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) I was always wondering about that. He may looks like Teemu Selanne and then in the next shift he may lose the puck in its own zone like Aaron Downey. He may put all the effort on the ice once in the game and skip the rest. He may fight and then quickly back up from it. I do not get it sometimes. Who is (was) similar player. to mods: please add "he" Edited August 1, 2010 by RusDRW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zion 93 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Are you really trying to open the floodgates here? Let's put it this way: if a player were to cross-check him in the throat and end his career, I would feel zero sympathy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut40 176 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 I hate him with the intensity of a million ******* supernovas. This has got to be one of the best lines I've ever read. I agree with you a million %! Side note: Is that guy in that "douchebag" pic even a real person? Like it hurts my eyes to look at him. He looks plastic!!!1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 His douchebag rating is off the charts. Definitely in my top 5 list of biggest pansies in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Perry is actually pretty awesome. Funny guy, brings some laughs to the game. Did he ever cheapshot anyone at all? Why all the hate, yeah he does some trashtalking, so what? 1 Mitchmac33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good young power forward, with ppg potential and a decent mean streak, though you would never know it from reading this board. He will never be a "Go-To" guy on any team, but most probably will be an all-star player several more times in his career, and his game could really move a few levels up if he actually got strong enough to back up his trash talking/pseudo-enforcer ways. I don't like him personally as a player, but I think myself as well as a lot of other people would love the guy if he came to the Wings.

No. Getzlaf, I'd take in a heart beat. Same for Ryan. Perry needs to contract HIV, whither away to about 100 lbs, catch on fire, and while running towards the fireman who could put him out, get hit by a tractor trailer. 3 Hockeymom1960, Hockeytown0001 and Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where exactly does all this hatred come from? I realize he's a douchebag, and his s***-talking to Sammy will always be remembered, but seriously do you really hate the guy that much? He honestly kinda reminds me of 90's Maltby, only if Maltby was good at hockey.

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Does he have talent? Yes. Is he a ******? Yes. Does he run his mouth and hide behind his windshield? You bet. He talks, and never backs it up. Bottom line. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Perry is the annoying kid that followed you around on the playground. You'd love to smack him, but he'd tell the teacher and you'd get detention. He threatens you, but all it is is talk and bother. You know that one of these days he'll get his, and you'll laugh. And laugh. And laugh. I don't wish an off-ice injury on the guy. I just hope that he gets ragdolled like Ericsson did to him again- only this time by someone with serious fighting skills. I'd have loved to see what Probert or Kocur could have done to him. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that actually pisses me off extra. I don't wish an off-ice injury on the guy. Well, yeah, I don't wish him ill will off the ice, but if the jumbo tron fell on him mid-shift, I'd prolly LOL.

WeBleedRed 8 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 He played for London (where I live) in the OHL. Everyone I speak with that knew him, played with him, or had some connection with him, ******* hated him. He had this holier than thou attitude... guy took to the city like he was Gretzky (whom I also do not like), and acted like he saved the city when they won the Memorial Cup. Hated him then for the 32 games I went to that season, hate him now. ******* wish his head would explode on ice. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like him personally as a player, but I think myself as well as a lot of other people would love the guy if he came to the Wings. Perry wouldn't be the same kind of player on the Wings and would likely be less effective. There's not really anyone on the Wings to help back up all his agitating and smack talk. On the Ducks he's got plenty of guys to cover him in scrums if someone wants to go. On the Wings he wouldn't, so he wouldn't likely play as big, which is I think a necessary part of his game. To be clear, I think he's a ******. But a ****** that's a better fit with the Ducks than he would be with Detroit, douchiness aside. Good hands. Not afraid to go to tough areas of the ice. Douchebag.

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Like haroldsnepts said, the only reason Perry runs his mouth so much is because he's got plenty of guys to back up his talk. George Parros, Kyle Chipchura, Troy Bodie, and Sheldon Brookbank fought his battles constantly last year. The prick rarely fights. Wouldn't mind seeing him get his windshield cracked and get his face pounded in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 I can't imagine Don Cherry is too fond of Corey Perry. When Steve Downie made a name for himself by the cheapshot on Dean McAMmond, Cherry didn't have nice words to say about him, regardless of whether he's Canadian or not.
