Corey Perry Skates Into Binnington's Neck, Binnington Punches Perry in the Back of the Head

[Three On Zero]

Binnington should stay in his crease then. Perry never enters the blue paint

Oh?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

And Pickard just stands in his net and doesn't even challenge Binnington because he knows he would get beat down by Jordan.

Punching Corey Perry in the head should be rewarded, not penalized. If you punch him, and he hits the ice, your team should get a PP. It adds strategy too. If the Oilers are down late, have McDavid sucker him and get the PP.

Can't fault Binnington for losing it like that. Perry did a Perry thing and it sure made for an entertaining moment yesterday night.

 

[Walrus26]

I like Binnington's attitude in general. Hockey needs more attitude, not more vanilla.

If you're willing to skate into someone's head, you better be ready for what comes next.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Binnington has some issues, but this is one time I cannot fault him at all. Aside from as noted by others he should have used the blocker (or his stick) to exact his revenge. Good on Neighbours also for stepping up. This is all 100% Perry At Fault.

And surely no one could have contacted Perry, causes his skate blade to tilt and cut a carotid roughly 1/4" inch away. I was at the game where Zednik almost died. This is an asinine take. That could be because I watched the ice crew spend 10 minutes scraping off the blood trail from the ice. It feels absurd to even say this - don't skate into people's necks.

That was such a freak play, it was horrible. I can’t help but think that never falling down, and calmly skating towards the bench and immediate help made all of the difference for Zed that night. Every time someone gets knocked over and their skates go up high I still cringe.

I normally hate Binnington, but I also hate Perry, and Perry was clearly being a dirt bag on the play, Binnington done good.

 

[Brookbank]

No problems on my end with Binners reaction

He could have landed that Bertuzzi punch a little better

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

puck was free.

No issue with Perry. Binington is an asshat though.

Color me shocked that you’re defending a bitch like Perry.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

All 32 teams would applaud their goalie having this same reaction… no problem with Binners reaction. That’s coming from a Binnington hater

Perry went a little too close, sure, but this was hardly a concussion/sore neck causing incident. What Binnington did after is suspend-able IMO. Blocker to the back of the head could be very bad.

Do you know what the blocker is? He punched him with his other hand.

So its worse.

You do realize Binnington plays with metal chains in his gloving instead of the traditional fabric, right?

Putting on the foil!

Putting on the foil!

Surprised you took the hat off after all these years

All 32 teams would applaud their forwards going in to the crease hard to chase loose pucks irrespective of whether the goalie (or another player) is lying in the crease.

 

[Spektre]

Karma caught up with Lindros. One can only hope Perry gets his due before he retires

 

[Barrie22]

Couldn't of happened to a better person, karma for all his time as a hothead. But still a little dirty.

 

[andora]

Perry could have been knocked out or worse by Binnington with an unsuspecting sucker punch. Brain bleeds are a thing after all.

Based on what? Binnington has had one fight in the AHL and did absolutely nothing in it, and he weighs 170lbs. I love when people think Binnington can fight when there's no actual evidence or reason to believe he can.

Not with the skate blade near the goalies or players face unnecessarily. Thats a bitch move by Perry.
