Blackhawks coach reveals what Perry said to Reaves to wind him up, takes a shot at the Leafs enforcer
It's safe to assume that not many teams, players, or fanbases are big Corey Perry supporters. The veteran holds a reputation around the league as one of the most hated pests. Ryan Reaves, as we know, is a heavyweight who is not afraid to drop the gloves at any given moment but he doesn't seem too fond of Perry and to him, they are not the same.
In their most recent game against the Chicago Blackhawks, Reaves had some choice words for Perry:
As the Leafs moved towards their next game against the Florida Panthers it seemed that the Reaves and Perry beef would be squashed until they meet again, but Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson decided to add a little fuel to that fire on Thursday:
For the young players to hear that, and then see him go out and wrestle with [Reaves] on the ice and score the game-winning goal, who's more effective in the game?" - Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson on the Perry/Reaves beef
Not only did the Blackhawks win the game that night, but Corey Perry scored the eventual game winning goal late in the second period, adding insult to injury.
Reaves and the Maple Leafs will head to the United Center on the 24th of November and we should expect fireworks from the duo once more. Will Perry drop the gloves with the heavyweight? Who knows, but Reaves doesn't think, so as he claims that Perry can't walk the walk and back up his mouth.
