Corey Perry caught screaming at Evander Kane in a heated argument
Corey Perry was caught screaming at Evander Kane in a heated argument from the Edmonton Oilers' bench during the game against the Calgary Flames on Saturday night.
With less than a minute remaining in the second period of the Battle of Alberta, Corey Perry returned to the bench, visibly angry. He shut the door and started shouting at Evander Kane.
According to Perry's former teammate, Kevin Bieksa, in a live intervention on Sportsnet, mentioned that Perry was probably angry because of a bad turnover created by Kane.
Here's what he said:
"Well, you can tell this is a team that's thinking about the playoffs and how they're going to play and thinking about high percentage. And this is Kane. Kind of a whole pass to nobody there. You can see Perry, you know, obviously we're speculating, but I'm thinking he's saying, hey, keep this puck down low.
There's nobody there. Like, you don't need to throw it away and give the puck to Calgary. And this continues on for a while. And I can tell you from playing with Perry, he doesn't do this very often. He doesn't yell at teammates."
You can watch the argument, and the turnover in the videos below:
Mistakes like these in the playoffs can cost a game. Perry wanted to make sure that Kane was up to speed and understands that he must do better.
