Perry isn't known as a nice guy to play against. He's certainly never been a lady Byng finalist. However, he doesn't fight guys very often either. Tonight though he took his big boy pills as he dropped the gloves with massive Winnipeg Jets defenseman Logan Stanley.
After the fight, he fired the crowd up even more by gesturing with his arms for the crowd to get pumped up. Stanley has become somewhat of a fav-favorite in Winnipeg in recent years for moments exactly like this one.
The game is extremely important to both teams as the playoffs are now just around the corner. There is no doubt that both these clubs will be making the playoffs, but they can still improve their chances of getting home ice advantage and more favorable first-round matchups.
