Corey Perry is a Dork

by Sam Page on Apr 14, 2011 2:53 PM EDT

Predators fans got a first hand look yesterday at one of the most loathsome players in the NHL, Corey Perry. The Rocket Richard winner combines an utterly dull off-the-ice personality with embarrassing, unconvincing smack talk and dirty play. His penchant for picking fights with undersized Europeans and goalies has rightfully earned him a reputation as a little punk.

Yesterday's attempt to start a fight with Pekka Rinne and dropping the gloves with Kevin Klein is likely just the beginning. So I've put together a video primer on Perry's behavior:

"You're gonna get it."?? I was half expecting him to follow up with, "You'll receive your comeuppance yet, Datsyuk!" Geez.

Haha Datsyuk is awesome for delivering that beatdown.

That trash talk was hilarious

It sounded like Perry was going through puberty right before our eyes.

I want to see a video of when Perry speared Pekka last night. I don’t know why there hasn’t been one uploaded yet.

perry...or is it fairy

First of all, you gotta be an extreme dork to get Datsyuk to throw against you. Datsyuk may be a hated Wing, but he is a class act.

corey fairy has a groin fetish.

I know Pavel plays for the Wings, but he is so amazing I can’t bring myself to hate him by default. If he was anywhere else, he’d be far away and my favorite non-Pred, bit even his association with Detroit only knocks him to second favorite.

By the way Trotz an Poile talk....

Datsyuk is their favorite non-Pred player, too!

I think he’s great…..but I absolutely hate the freaking red wings.
