Flame for Thought

The site expert at Flame for Thought, the Calgary Flames FanSided site, Ramina Shlah has been very generous helping me out with this series. Division rivals will always have bad blood between them, but Perry seems to have rubbed the residents of the Scotiabank Saddledome the wrong way. Here are Ramina’s comments:

“As for Corey Perry, if you looked up “dirty player” in the dictionary, it would show a picture of him. He just has such a punchable face and he’s also given way too many cheap shots to even count. Just go on youtube and search “Corey Perry dirty plays” and you’re bound to find a bunch of highlight videos.

Also, I think a big factor in Flames fans hating him is the fact that the Flames couldn’t win in Anaheim for over a decade and the Flames and Ducks generally have quite heated games against one another. Especially back in the playoffs in 2015.”

What’s interesting is that Perry hasn’t squared off one-on-one with a Flames player very often. Last season he had a scuffle with Calgary’s Travis Hamonic. It was his first fight against the flaming C’s since a 2007 skirmish against Eric Nystrom.

In recent history, what has to really eat at Flames fans is the overtime winning goal Perry scored in Game 3 of the 2017 playoff’s opening round.

It would piss me off as well if say Mark Giordano had done the same thing to the Anaheim Ducks.
