You cannot terminate someone for addiction there is alot of precidence for that, if he gets help he keeps his job. There is waaaay more to this then he is letting on and at this point I gotta think he is protecting someone.
Smoke screen Perry messed up big time and most will probably ever know what really happened. But I think we all know what probably happened and the lowly Blackhawk organization is going to do anything it can to appease Conor Bedard and rightfully so. This is what you call karma in the NHL for cheating on draft lottery and all the shady sh jt the organization has pulled folks
So, he got $hitfaced and wore a lamp shade at an official team function or got drunk and ran around butt naked at an official organIzation mixed gender function? 🤷♂🤷♂
I’d love to know what’s funny about a “joke” that publicly slanders and humiliates teammates and family members. What kind of infantile mind thinks it’s funny in any way?
The Hawks are on such thin ice as it is, Perry may have done something insignificant but they literally cannot withstand another scandal so they sent him packing.
1:53 So clearly a joke? Huh? What twisted mind thinks that’s funny? How many pucks to the head do you have to get to make that up and find humor in it?
Yeah, I’m sorry BUT I totally believe this is a cover up for the Mom scandal and they are trying to bury the story with some BS!!!! And I am not even a hockey 🥅 fan let alone even know who these people are but the story just really intrigued me so I am following it. This is the second hockey 🏒 story that has captivated me this month, the first one being about that poor young player that was killed with the blade to his neck. 😢. I must now have an algorithm on my search history for hockey 🏒.
It’s too bad because Perry was really looking good this year. It shows character that he released a statement and fessed up to his alcohol issues. Alcoholism is a terrible disease and I hope he can be clean and healthy soon👍🏻
I obviously would like to know what he did in details… but Perry's doing the right thing by taking the high road… and keeping what happened behind close doors! That way it keeps Him in the conversation to make it in the Hall one day… but most importantly… to potentially work in Hockey again in the future!! The Hockey world is a small Brotherhood… and he'll get rewarded for keeping
his mouth shut on this & not filing a grievance!! He obviously did something wrong… but obviously not illegal… cuz if he did… with what happened with Hockey Canada & if he got in a fight for instance… we'd know about it… since it would be a legal matter… and Freedom of Information warriors would have already fished it out!! So whatever he did… was done in private & not illegal in nature!
And with the Rumor being out there… it doesn't take Columbo to figure out what he did! Now if the rumor is false… the question… that we'll never have the answer to… is with whom did he do it!! And if you don't believe that "some horizontal activities" took place here… then I don't know that to tell y'all!! If you want to believe that he got "drunk in public"… and would be ok to get dinged about 2 Millions for that… and take a hit on his reputation for that…and makes you feel better… then hey I respect that! I don't understand it… but I respect it!!
I get the importance of protecting the Game… but way more people than I expected started completely losing their mind… just for the existence of this rumor! It seems like some people believe that Hockey is completely immune to the ills of our society… and that all Hockey people are "good ol Canadian kids with good values"! Now don't be surprised when the next Kyle Beach / Theoren Fleury / Sheldon Kennedy incident happens!!
Life ain't pickin & choosin!! You can't have this attitude of balking at a rumor like this… and be satisfied with face value statements & calling it a day… and fully expect a system of complete transparency with a Hockey Canada like situation!! Corey Perry is deservedly getting punished… which is good… but y'all don't even know why he's getting punished… and y'all are ok with that… and that's the very blindspot that once again will be abused in Hockey… to cover up the next scandal that will have people say "oh my God I can't believe that happened in our Game"
No idea what this is about but if he has a serious substance abuse issue, I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs and I might add that if he is still able to perform at his level, at his age, while dealing with a substance abuse issue, well, that is in a way, quite the feat.
I find it amazing that a profesional athlete can have an alcohol problem and still play at a high level at 38.Been a outstanding player that any team would want.Good luck
It was probably something really dumb like he got so incredibly drunk and yacked on someone. Something childish like that. But he at least the NHL still had standards. You puke on someone you're OUT but you can get drunk driving, rape n drug someone and all that's ok. Real solid standards there
So we gonna pretend dude just went 18 years in the league without a peep of addiction allegations to now being all in the open with it following very funny rumors… idk i feel like this is covering up for the truth

Gotta put those extra dots in to get those extra views about this situation eh, Eck?
Nothing in this proves the rumors about Perry & Bedard's mom aren't true…only that that wasn't the reason he got bought out.
He probably just said something politically incorrect while intoxicated.

his Fans… lol good one.
What a freaking disappointment. Hawks fan.
No, let's keep the Bedard thing going, we like that better.
Johnny always says youcan only drink so much and screw so much
I suspect that Corey Perry may have told one of the Blackhawks' sponsors exactly what he thought of their product.

He's apologizing for being the cause of an incident that led to rampant speculation and effected his team, Bedard (and family), and his own family.
So, he got $hitfaced and wore a lamp shade at an official team function or got drunk and ran around butt naked at an official organIzation mixed gender function? 🤷♂🤷♂
“It’s a celebration b””ches, enjoy yo self”
Send him to Detroit.
Suffice to say, Perry broke the cardinal rule… don't sh!t where you eat.
Sounds like he pulled a Jim Montgomery. Hope he gets help
How does something so bad happen that it warrants a termination of employment, but doesn't involve police and doesn't involve a teammate?
The rumor, sadly, makes the most sense.
He looks like an addict
It’s only a damage control Op, braze for chock coming up near the Chicago Blackhawks sooner or later
Oilers will pick him up.
I hope he gets the help he needs to be at peace.
The didn't disclose things because they conducted an investigation.
don't f this up, Toronto…
He def banged bedards mom they are just covering it up

As a kings fan, I hated him as a Ducks player. But he is the guy you want on your team, he’s tough talented and gets under your skin.

lmao yeah "tHe rUmOrS aRrNet TrUe"
Never liked or trusted Perry! If his play style was any indicator, are we really surprised ?
Why does this warrant a contract termination? Dude has an alcohol problem. So what? Ed Belfour kicked ass while hung over his entire career!
It’s too bad because Perry was really looking good this year. It shows character that he released a statement and fessed up to his alcohol issues. Alcoholism is a terrible disease and I hope he can be clean and healthy soon👍🏻
I dont think Corey has a substance problem. This is a cover-up that happened during the function while Corey was drunk already.
Usually the rumors they try to smash are truth, has no one learned that by now ?

It's probably brain damage. What player hasn't hit him.
It is understandable that he was cut, especially when you pipe the rookies mom 🤷🏼♂️

If there is no criminality here then the Leafs need a guy like this real badly and can get rid of Domi & Co
Corey Lahey
BS
I think he def smashed bedard mom no way those rumors just appeared out of thin air.
So we gonna pretend dude just went 18 years in the league without a peep of addiction allegations to now being all in the open with it following very funny rumors… idk i feel like this is covering up for the truth
Yea Yea Yea, He wanted a retirement and Blackhawks paid him off to say that he didn’t sleep with Mrs. Bedard 🥱
