Edmonton Oilers forward Corey Perry made a sarcastic remark regarding his exchange with J.T. Miller following a heated second period between the Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.
What is a Corey Perry hat trick: a point, an ambush, and a devious mindfrak. The point came from a greasy battle won behind the net, getting the puck to Mattias Ekholm, who slammed it back down low, with Adam Henrique picking up the puck and slamming it home.

He was about to grab Canucks centre Elias Pettersson until he saw defenceman Quinn Hughes, who’d come in off his point, without a dance partner.

Early in the third, Teddy Blueger tried to get Perry to drop the gloves, and then not long after Mark Friedman gave him a shove — which somehow was ruled a misconduct. A fight with Blueger was right there. Hockey code called for it.
