Good for him.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Sorry for what tho

 

[JaegerDice]

Well, my guess is he’s not going to fight the termination.

I hope he finds the help he needs. He was a scumbag on the ice, but by most accounts a good guy off of it.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Yeah, you don’t get a multi-million dollar contract terminated for having a couple drinks

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Somethings being swept under the rug.

No chance this is all over a night where he just got sloppy drunk or something.

Definitely involves either banging someone or punching/fighting someone.

You not being told something you have no right to know doesn't mean there is a conspiracy to hide something from you.

The Blackhawks already said it involved an employee. If he was drunk, and they’re keeping things private, you can probably make an educated guess of whats most likely.

Related to alcohol and it's not criminal... is he gonna grieve this? US is different but sure there are some laws about accommodating employees in Illinois that would have prevented job loss?

Get well soon, Perry. I hope whoever else was involved is doing well.

Doesn't the league have a rehab program? Unless he refused treatment.

What does this post mean lmfao?

It's not a conspiracy, they are blatantly not elaborating on it and I made a guess as to what it probably is.

I never said they have a right to tell me or anyone?

 

[FlameChampion]

Not sure I buy it. You would think a hall of famer would be given more rope if it was a alcohol issue. At the very least he would be put into an assistance program rather than cast off.

He probably just had to write the message to collect whatever money they owe him.

I dont even like Perry. But doesnt pass the smell test.

Glad he's going to get help. Addiction is a bitch, I sincerely hope he wins the war with it.

Honestly. What is with people white knighting for Corey Perry and the Chicago Blackhawks, of all things.

I think you can confidently say his contract wasn't terminated for having an alcohol problem, it was terminated for something he did while under the influence of alcohol. Whether it was grope, unwanted sexual advance, or something else that we mgiht not ever know.....

They terminated his contract. He doesn't get a cent more of it unless he grieves and they settle.

Yeah, god forbid they shoot down baseless rumors involving an innocent 18 year old and his mother. What cucks.

 

[TooManyHumans]

Sorry, Corey. I don't accept an apology until I know what the hell it is for.

I will not Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally until someone tells me what the f*** she did.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

He did something stupid (while intoxicated it sounds) in front of someone important. That's all we will get for the time being.

 

[ps241]

I have usually struggled with Perry on the ice in his agitator role but full props to Corey for this statement. Alcohol does not play favorites and I am hoping he gets the help he needs to take on this fight. I will be cheering for him this time.

 

[Dellstrom]

I’m sure the rumors have taken a toll on him. Regardless of what he did, I don’t think he intended to hurt his teammates and especially their families.

Hard to give or not give sympathy without knowing what he did, and we may never know, but good on him for apologizing and hope he gets the help he needs.

I doubt it but we'll never know.

 

[AvroArrow]

Hey guys, sorry for something that I did. I can't tell you what it is but I'm sorry I did it.

Yes, and addiction is not a "get out of jail free -card".

Its a termination with cause. He’s not getting another cent.
