Is Corey Perry a good luck or bad luck charm?

[Greatzsky 99]

i wonder if Sabres would want some of that bad luck charm?

 

[jackjohnson]

Time for Perry to turn from good luck charm to a bad curse in the finals

 

[McShogun99]

The ultimate good luck charm combo would be Perry and Maroon. Teams could of had the next dynasty if they tried that combo.

havent you read this?

No, when i posted that last week I was unable to time travel into the future to read comments made yesterday

That pass in OT tonight showed that he's way more than a lucky charm.

 

[Oilslick941611]

As a neutral fan it looks to me that Perry is very engaged to put it mildly, which is a good thing for Edmonton. He'll get those tap in / garbage goals when it matters and has the sandpaper in abundance.

He’s playing much better than last year, last season he looked like he was on his last legs in the playoffs. This year he just finds a way to contribute up and down the ice, on the scoresheet and in the room.

Love him or hate him, he's had a major impact on the game and has been able to play the role a lot longer than most of his ilk. Does he get in to the HOF?

A question. There are three Hart winners on the Oilers: Perry, McD, and Draisatl. When was the last time a team had three Hart winners on its roster? Quite a few with two, but three?

Perry is just a winner. Plain and simple. Even on games like tonight, he was the only Oiler to show up. He was built to win

Yet he has lost in many finals, only winning the first time he went to the finals. He can be a gamer and a loser at the same time. He definitely acted like a loser in this game with the same head tuck mocking he did against Dallas which Florida responded in kind. He can play rough and score goals, no need to act like a circus clown with grade 2 level mockery. If he wants to learn how to agitate then Bennett and Marchand can teach him.

Number of Stanley Cup Finals of players from the Ducks 2007 winning team:
Corey Perry 6 (1 cup)
Scott Niedermayer 5 (4 cups)
Chris Kunitz 4 (4 cups)
Chris Pronger 3 (1 cup)
Rob Niedermayer 3 (1 cup)
Teemu Selanne 1 (1 cup)
Ryan Getzlaf 1 (1 cup)

Wasn't Ducks in finals like 2003 when their goalie got Conn Smythe? So at least Selänne has been in 2 finals?

 

[King 88]

Nah he is just a .

Selanne wasn’t on the Ducks in 2003

Except.......in the Finals. Gotta feel bad for the guy if he loses in the Finals again.

 

[LuGBuG]

It’s neither. He’s just a warrior. Any time he has been in the finals he’s doing whatever he can and making an impact. He’s just unfortunately come out on the wrong side a lot.

 

[Vapaatunnus]

Selanne wasn’t on the Ducks in 2003

Good point

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Bad it seems. Going to be almost impossible for the Oilers to win 3 of the next 4 games.

I'd strongly argue that that's absolutely not on Perry.
Apart from McDavid and Draisaitl, the rest of the offensive lines could be filled with 40-year-old Perrys and they would do really well.

[Timeless Winter]

I think it's been answered tonight

 

[AzHawk]

a good duck charm

 

[Ducks in a row]

Tied his single playoff high in goals today with 10 this is not something I though I would see.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Unlucky.
