SO Should Corey Perry Retire

[Norwegianoiler]

It's hilarious when threads like this get necro'd back to life.

Superstitions are one of the dumbest thing humanity has invented. There is no cosmic force out there ensuring that Corey Perry doesn't win a cup. Giving into superstition means you don't have the brain capacity to understand how the world works so you fill in the gaps with bullshit so it can make sense for your small lizard brains.

As soon as sports fan can accept that drinking green paint and eating a rat won't win your team a fancy trophy the better society will be.

Its absolutely insanity to me.

You only feel like this because I wore my clarity-endowing boxer shorts earlier.

If he wins the SC this year retiring would be a good way for him to go out.

But maybe the Oilers and him do a resign he won't cost much and can be waived if it doesn't work out next season.

He’s said he plans to play and someone will take him (probably Edmonton)

Unless he has a huge change of heart after getting his hands on the Stanley cup again…he’s already said he plans to play next season.

Regardless of how this final series goes I imagine Perry will sign a one year contract, probably with Edmonton but if not someone will want him. He's been a bargain this year and a one year ~1.5 million deal is very low risk.

His body, his choice.

Wonder if some of these guys, like Perry, will start looking at signing as late in the season as they can and still be able to play playoff hockey.

He should play as long as he possibly can. I mean, he can play in the NHL and believe he has what it takes to play until he's fifty. He's the kind of player who can step up if needed but can be plugged into the bottom six which makes him valuable.
