ROY DU NORD!!!
Maybe if he wasn't there, his teams would not have gone to the finals. I remember very well that with Montreal his line with Eric Staal and Armia were a big part of why we thrived in the playoffs and went to the finals. Look the Oilers are weak on depth and it's not normal to rely of someone of his age after McDavid and Draistil.
He's a Hart winner playing on people's 4th lines for 1.15M. That's what it really is. He should be making 4M. You're not supposed to get over 10 points in the playoffs from your cheapest player. The Stars cheapest players are Blackwell and Back who combined for 3 points. The Hurricanes got 0 points from William Carrier and his 2M, their cheapest player is Robinson who scored 3 points. Even Florida's Nosek, Gadjovich, Greer combined for 9 points together. That's what you're supposed to expect from those guys. You pay them nothing you get nothing.
lol and i bet kyle dubas is unlucky too because none of his goalies are ever as good on his team as on other teams
luck doesn't exist, there's an explanation to everything. in perry's case, he's on the worst team in the NHL that happens to have a player no one in the west can stop, but Florida can. in 2021, he was on a rebuilding team that accidentally made the playoffs and happened to be built to counter the terrible teams they got to play against, which didn't have anything going for them if they couldn't outscore their problems. in 2020, he was in the weak conference and went up against one of the best teams in NHL history. 2022 was the only year the finals weren't decided before they started but he had to play against a 6.3M Mackinnon which isn't supposed to exist, and in that way, you're right! he is unlucky!
but yes, i'm sure it's just bad juju. maybe he should go on an indian retreat to cleanse his aura. I guess you're an oilers fan and trying to justify losing with nonsense but the reality is you had Vasily Podkolzin and 2025 Corey Perry in your most recent top 6 and Evan Bouchard as your #1 dman. Even the pathetic Blackhawks wouldn't have those guys in their top 6, they have Bedard, Bertuzzi, Teravainen all 3 of which would be your best winger, and before the trade deadline, wouldn't have had Evan Bouchard as their #1D. neither of your goalies are NHL level and they both keep getting kicked out of the lineup as a result... but it's just corey perry's bad karma. the "team"(and it really isn't a team) is all about McDavid outscoring your thousands of problems, not Corey Perry's luck.

Effortless sexy.
Yeah, weird reply there because of course luck (variance) exists.
In this case, maybe Perry is working out bad vibes from when he left Chicago under mysterious circumstances. Either way, he`s a jerk so to the golf course with him.

slapshot into the empty net...utterly irrelevant
It better to be in the finals and lose, than it is to not be there. So in that light, Corey Perry is a good luck to me.
Reminds me of that phrase: it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

well, if the goal is win, theres only one way to do it and you can't do it if you aren't in the finals.
I can't discuss the series in the series threads for reasons that are completely known to me, but even though i don't respect the way the panthers play or their coach, there isn't any shame in losing to them. Their players are just built differently.

There has to be other players from.the original six era to lose 5 SCF.
Probably not common though

I think this was his last shot, 10 goals in the playoffs as a 40 year old is unheard of.
As much as I wanted Edmonton to lose, I feel bad for Corey. 5 in 6 is enough to justifiably cause depression.

Wak Prescott the 40M/yr fraud, here we gooo!
Had to face two loaded dynasty teams 4/5 times since 2020, did everything he could and exceeded expectations once again this year. Sometimes the timing just isn't right and you end up on the losing side, it happens. Guy's a gamer, cut the ''bad luck charm'' crap.

Would have loved watching Perry get another cup but making that many finals when he should have retired ages ago is admirable.
Now he should finally retire so that he can go and mentor his son in Chicago.
