newfy 695 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 I seriously doubt that you're intelligent. Perry will reign among the NHL's most hated players (teammates, included) until he is ENDED in a turtle-type event by a 4th liner who is simply tired of his gives-his-opponent-a-shot-on-the-ice-once-the-linesmen-jump-in, goalie-kicking, sneaky-elbow-throwing, cross-checking, trash-talking schtick... Yeah just like Maltby and Samuellson were hated around the league. Perry isn't out there throwing cheap hits like Cooke does, he just runs his mouth and acts like a ***** sometimes. Maltby in his prime was way worst and Maltby never backed it up. Perry will fight every now and then t least. Say what you want but if we had a guy like Perry who threw the other team off their game while putting up 80 points, we would love him here 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 Newfy, I agree with what you say 99% of the time, but I just can't see myself rooting for a s*** like him. Does he throw the consistent cheapshots like Matt Cooke?No. But he runs his mouth far too much, and rarely backs it up. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you back it up, you can run your mouth all you want. I can't imagine myself rooting for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah just like Draper and Maltby but I'm sure you cheered for them back in 1997 and 1998, I know the hate on this board is huge for Perry especially because we have a bit of a mini rivalry with the Ducks, but come on, Chely was a hell of a lot dirtier then Perry, was on our division rivals and was twice as hated as Perry. Who really hates Chelios now though? Its always different when the players aren't trash talking your own team and until that happens I know people will say I'm wrong but this guy outscored anyone on our team this year.. I'm sure we would cheer for a guy leading our team in goals 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then when I think about it, that is pretty much what Maltby in his prime did, and I've grown to like him. Granted he's shown tons of heart and sacrifice over the years to help outweigh those qualities. I'm not sure Perry would, but I guess it's possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Perry putting up 80 or 90 points would probably outweigh those qualities. Its not like hes some 4th liner running his mouth, the guy does kinda have room to talk. He outscores 99% of the guys he trash talks anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 I can definitely see what where you're coming from. I'm sorta split on this. I've grown to love Malts, this is true. I could see myself rooting for him at times, but there would definitely be times when I'd be pulling my hair out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even 70+ points would sure help putting up with his douchiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I think with one of th best play making centerman down the middle and another soon to be 35 goal scoring winger on his other side and all of whom are just entering their prime I think he'll definitely crack 80 points more then once in his career Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
