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

I think people are overreacting on all fronts. Perry was trying to collect a lose puck. He's made a career about going to hard places chasing pucks and very often paying a price when the other team reacts.

His skates were on the ice. Plays like this happen pretty regularly - players fall (sometimes on each other) and skates are everywhere. It is actually pretty remarkable that more players aren't injured by skates - but they aren't (probably due to equipment).

And for Binnington - good on him. If guys are charging full speed into the creese, then I have no problem with a goalie reacting this way. You can quibble about the punch from behind, but in this case it was an immediate reaction by Binnington, so I'm fine with it.
Binnington’s entire upper body was out of the crease… the guy is a grade A p***y, I’m glad he got run over.
 
Leave it to Corey Perry to make me take Binnington’s side.

I am far from a fan of Binnington but I wish he would’ve gone full Hextall on Perry. That was completely intentional and a dangerous play by Perry.

It wasn’t much of a fight but good on Neighbours for making the spot picking rat answer for his actions, since I assume the refs only penalized Binnington.
 
Extremely dangerous play from Perry.

Easy to tell who the oiler fans are in this thread :eyeroll:
What kind of loser organization tells its player not to go after loose pucks in front of the net. Don't do it guys you might hurt the goalies feelings.

If Perry wants to be a rat he should have asked for a trade to Florida

He doesn’t need to ask for a trade. He can just do something so inappropriate off the ice that the NHL allows his team to cancel his contract. While also apparently not being so bad that he’s allowed to play in the NHL again on a new team two months later.

It’s the Corey Perry CBA loophole.

Corey Perry unfortunate ‘accident’



I hate to give Corey Perry any benefit of the doubt, but if this was almost any other player, I'd probably argue that this was 100% accidental. The angle from behind shows he's already starting to turn to follow the play as the hit is delivered, and barely takes a full stride while Tavares pirouettes to the ice directly in front of him.

As for the issue in question, I think they are both idiots who probably shouldn't have done that.
 
Corey Perry unfortunate ‘accident’


As a Corey Perry professional hater, that one was a complete accident. He was trying to get out of JT's way, all that happened within a split second and I'm almost positive the 2 are good friends off the ice.

You would actually have to have next level reactions to try and land that on the guys head, Tavares falls and literally within a split second Perry accidentally hits him. He gets a pass on that one.
 
If anything the Blues players should have just held the oilers players back and let Perry take a couple blocker shots from Binnington while he was down on the ice. There's nothing wrong with crashing the crease but going and purposefully trying to ram your leg into the goalies head is a bitch move.
