Oilers' Corey Perry mocks NHL player safety committee with gesture
Former Blackhawks pest Corey Perry has finally found himself in post-season play and hasn't let us down.
The pest, rat, or whatever you like to call him is up to again in Edmonton as he is part of the only Canadian match-up in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
This year, the Rick Tocchet-led Vancouver Canucks are battling it out with the Edmonton Oilers, led by Kris Knoblauch in what seems to be a series teetering on the brink of confrontation at any moment.
Corey Perry continued his tradition of egging on not only
Brock Boeser's last game in the series, by NHL Player Safety by putting his twig up to Boeser's neck.
Obviously, this is him baiting Boeser who on ice isn't known for throwing gloves and fighting.
But Perry obviously thinks tensions are so tight that he could goad the Canucks and Boeser into a fight.
Boeser kept his chill and wasn't going to risk a penalty and the series to oblige Perry.
The Oilers and Perry sent the Canucks into joker mode as they defeated the Canucks 3-2, tying the series up 2-2 and the game will head back to Vancouver for game 5.
