Man I love this player. Bottle up all the key ingredients for a great hockey player and it will bake at high temperature into Corey Perry. Elite hockey sense and game sense to make the right play intuitively but also read the pulse of the game and know within it what action is required. Tough, resilient, and a warrior spirit fuels a competitive tenacity that rare elites harness. Fearless to live his game within all compete, battle areas of the ice. Grit to sacrifice himself for the greater team good whether taking a fight to spark a sleepy team or absorbing net front punishment to push home a goal or disrupt to enable one. The skills to still rock a 19 goal regular season and big playoff moments as shotgun with this moment in time prime years super elites.
This team is better for the lessons you have taught them with the actions you deliver on-ice and the high character you have brought into this lockeroom.
Happy 40th Worm. Middle age assassin.
