Oilers' Perry caught chirping Flames after win and McDavid loves it

The Oilers sealed a commanding 4-2 win over their rival Flames last night, and they didn't shy away from the rubber match. At the end of the game, Corey Perry was seen letting the Flames hear it.

As both team headed off the ice, Corey Perry sat perched on the bench and kept repeating ‘You're so bad!' towards the Calgary Flames. Connor McDavid happened to be walking by right behind him, clearly laughing at Perry's rat behaviour even after the game and season series was decided.

It was a hilarious sight to see from Corey Perry, who brings a whole new dimension to the Oilers for the playoffs. Whether he's in the top-six or the bottom-six, Perry is an effective offensive player and famously gets under the skin of his opponents. Over a seven game playoff series, Perry can become a real difference maker by playing the role of the villain.


Also notably last night, Perry played his veteran card when he got in a heated argument with Evander Kane on the bench, seemingly demanding more from him after a few lazy turnovers in the game. After the game, Knoblauch essentially confirmed that's exactly what happened, saying it was two emotional and passionate players talking through their on-ice play.


The pair have been playing together consistently on the third line. After Kane was seen arguing with Draisaitl, they were quickly separated in the lineup. It will be interesting to see if Knoblauch moves Kane around the lineup once again after this incident. Kane clearly isn't playing his best hockey this year, and the entire Oilers organization knows that he could be an impact player for the team in the playoffs if he's at his best.
