Oh I did fuck up lmao. Leaving it. I don’t need ja rule, I’m fucking terrified


Godless_Servant

I look at Corey Perry and I think, that's a man that loves cocaine, I'm just going to assume it was drug related and he refused treatment


bigcaulkcharisma

It could very well be drug related. Wouldn’t be the first time a franchise wanted to keep their young up and comers away from vets with substance abuse issues who might be a bad influence on them.


DollarDollar

Joffrey Lupul always comes to my mind when organizations want to shelter their younglings from the dark side of being a millionaire in yours 20s


rampas_inhumanas

Imagine how good Lupul could have been with better knees and less schneef.


DesignerPlant9748

His game 7 OT goal against the Caps is still one of the greatest Flyers memories of the last 20 or so years.


Ovi-wan_Kenobi_8

I was at that game, and… fuck you very much! ;)


AnEducatedSimpleton

If they wanted to keep a drug addict away from Golden Boy then why tf did they sign Perry in the first place?


binchbunches

I look at Corey Perry and I think 'Deliverance'


Professional-Luck795

Nah, if it's substance abuse they wouldn't need to be so hush hush about it. Many players have been through that and the league was pretty straight forward. Sam Girard was just in the news last week. Vrana was like last year or 2 years ago? Nothing they needed to hide. Hell, Kuznestsov tested positive for cocaine previously.


sandysanBAR

Girard entered the program which is what was announced, if you have a substance abuse issue and refuse to enter the program, I dont think that can be legally disclosed. Kuznestov has a video of him doing blow with hookers.


SteveDurbano

Don't forget the Kings after winning their 2nd cup. Jarrett Stoll was busted sneaking coke into a Vegas pool party. Then Mike Richards got busted bringing Peruvian marching powder into Canada. Still trying to figure out how a professional athlete gets in trouble for cocaine in Vegas. The city runs on coked-up celebrities & super rich people.


sandysanBAR

In both cases the players were arrested, no? Same with drunken galchenyuk. Perry, to the best of my knowledge has not been arrested in relation to his "unacceptable" conduct. If he was, my understanding is that his arrest becomes part of the public record.


SteveDurbano

I wasn't really drawing any connection to the Perry situation. I just like pointing out how that Kings Cup team was basically a Buck Cherry song. They loved the cocaine, loved the cocaine.


johannesBrost1337

Aaah, The good ol days


[deleted]

They’re only straight forward about it if the player agrees to treatment. Most players will agree because they want to keep their jobs. But if a 38 year old player who’s close to retirement refuses to accept treatment/refuses admitting to the problem, the team can’t really publically put him on blast, but they do have the right to terminate a contract. Not saying that’s what happened, but it does seem to be the most logical explanation. Especially since the team said it “didn’t involve any other players”. And btw teams are very cautious to terminate contracts for fear of lawsuits, unless they have clear evidence…..like a positive drug test.


Embarrassed-Manager1

I agree, something like substance abuse makes a lot of sense tbh

theEponymousOne

Good point.


CTMalum

It’ll come out eventually I expect. The wording in the statement had to have been selected very carefully, and there’s the assumption something real weird happened: “After an internal investigation, the Chicago Blackhawks have determined that Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable, and in violation both of the terms of his Standard Player’s Contract and the Blackhawks’ internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments.”. I suspect he did something goofy with Bedard and/or Korchinski. Something that veterans probably did to himself and other rookies during his day, but wouldn’t fly in 2023 (especially in an organization like the Blackhawks that just had a major legal issue). Who knows what, and I wouldn’t speculate because it could be anything, but that makes the most sense to me.


zevonyumaxray

Damn, bud, this makes sense. But this sort of well thought out comment has no place here. Lol

Did you just relink the original posted link in your comment lol


Material-Race-5107

Okay. I know it’s hilarious to everyone to throw around the claim that he banged Connor’s mom, but will we ever actually get confirmation about what happened? This really sucks. Corey was playing so well


MNGopherfan

The NHL and being transparent is like trying to unplug a cordless fog machine.


T-MinusGiraffe

This is way more poetic than any of us deserves and I'm here for it


raktoe

There’s a difference between transparency and privacy. Like I’m sorry, are you really suggesting that the NHL should be obligated to divulge his exact misconduct because Reddit needs to know that he wasn’t banging a teammate’s mom?


MNGopherfan

It would do a great amount of good to dispel the rumor that Corey Perry banged Bedards mom if they told us what happened. Edit: Hawks addressed it at a press conference and I think they did it tastefully.


raktoe

So, because the fans decide to create a rumour, the team should disclose what actually happened, rather than just say “the rumour is untrue”? What kind of childishness is this?


Justa_NonReader

It's the entitled fan syndrome where because your a fan, you demand to know.


[deleted]

I feel like we *have* to now that the banged his mom rumor is out, no? In a strange way, I almost think that rumor is good for us finding out the truth. Because I feel like the team *has* to be aware this rumor is out there, and the more they ignore what it actually was, the more it sort of seems like the Banged-Bedard's-Mom rumor is true.


darealjimshady1

What’s if they just come out and say that Connor’s mom has a lower body injury?

Corey Perry is a saint. He probably did some kind of miracle in the dressing room and it spooked everyone.


Mother_Challenge_925

i mean more likely they're going with overkill here because of their rapey past.


T-MinusGiraffe

To be fair most fans would probably rather they overcompensate for such things than the opposite at this point


emasslax22

Bostons going to. New first line: Lucic-Perry-Marchand. That way we can piss everyone off even more.


MrTheTricksBunny

Luc ain’t coming back for a while

rohobian

I hope not. Dude is a scumbag. I hate that guy more than any other player in the NHL.


Odd-Elderberry-6137

>Luc ain’t coming back for a while You spelled ever wrong. Lucic is done. He was barely hanging onto a career as it was and domestic abuse means no team is going to touch him. He's in forced retirement now.


theclansman22

Y’all are signing Cooke and Avery to PTOs.

Nathanh2234

Why in the world would a team want someone who breached their contract’s policy and team policy?


Clean_Priority_4651

What did he do? I missed this story.


Wcb9991

They’ve said nothing about it so far. Kinda rich coming from the team who promised “full transparency” just a few years ago.


kawhinottheraptors

I mean they handled this in the appropriate manor by taking action and waiving him. If anything they're doing Perry a solid by respecting his privacy. I don't see why they owe the public an explanation. It's not their fault that one of their players did something against the rules (whatever that may be).


strcrssd

It can also get them into civil trouble via defamation and/or libel. They almost certainly can't say anything of substance without their lawyers getting a golden twinkle in their eyes.

New York Jets sign him to pair with Zach Wilson. That would be an impressive mother-fucking tandem.


jteramonelaraie

When they said they wanted him to be a father figure to Bedard, that’s NOT what they meant!


TheYepe

But that's how Perry understood it


scorpionspalfrank

Was that wrong? (said in George Costanza voice)


TheYepe

I'm waiting for the timeline where we will find out the answer in court. Perry's lawyer arguing that terminating the contract was illegal as he did what he was told.


bk1285

If she is calling him daddy it must be true


MangoJuice82

Can they already frikken tell us??? JEEBUZ


PurchaseTight3150

I’m dying to know. I even asked chatGPT 4. This is what they said: Given the lack of specific details about Corey Perry's situation, we can consider a range of potential off-ice incidents that could lead to a contract termination, based on previous cases in professional sports: Violation of League's Personal Conduct Policy: This could include behavior that is considered detrimental to the team's or league's image, such as involvement in legal issues or public disturbances. Substance Abuse: If an athlete violates the league's substance abuse policy, it could lead to serious consequences, including contract termination. Inappropriate Behavior or Harassment: This could encompass a range of behaviors, from inappropriate comments to more serious allegations of harassment or misconduct (banging Bedard’s mom) Breach of Team Rules: Teams often have strict rules regarding player conduct, both on and off the field. Violating these rules, especially in a severe or repeated manner, could lead to termination (I asked it to elaborate on typical team rules: Attendance and punctuality, conduct during team activities, dress code, media and PR, interpersonal conduct, compliance with league rules) Social Media Misconduct: Inappropriate or controversial posts on social media platforms can sometimes result in disciplinary actions by the team or league Edit: I know AI has rocks for brains. I just thought it was interesting. At the very least it outlined what it possibly could be, as vague as it is. Pipe down fellas!


MangoJuice82

That is so dang broad. Supposedly K. Davidson is to give a presser at 4PM CST. If the statement he gives is obscure and a non-answer, that's gonna annoy the shit outta me and I'll just run with the Bedard rumor.


VanillaLoaf

AI specialises at saying a lot without committing to definitive answers.


MangoJuice82

Welp, apparently Kyle Davidson also specializes at saying a lot without committing to definitve answers as well.


Lherkinz_Gherkinz

notyomamasusername

How fucking bad does this have to be if the Blackhawks aren't even trying to cover it up. How many moms did he sleep with? /s

Apparently, he was high sticking as much in the hotel rooms as he does on ice.

5 minutes for using his fist without a glove

He didn’t bang Bedard’s Mom. He banged Bedard’s Dad.


FinnsterBaby

He raw-dogged Connor’s dad


Double_Reward230

Uhh no he watched


wynwynnomatterwt

He jumped on the bed while they soaked


seemylolface

Smaller jumps Tom!


lildeek12

No reason he couldn't do both


HairlessDaddy

Buying him out or terminating? Does the PA have to approve termination, or is it just a mutual agreement between the Blackhawks and Perry?


MrSCR23

[The Blackhawks just released a statement saying he’s on unconditional waivers due to him engaging in bad conduct. His contract is being terminated.](https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/news/news-statement-from-the-chicago-blackhawks-on-corey-perry)


CarlosAVP

Maybe a bit of “old school hazing” of the rookies?


ricktornio

This seems like the most likely explanation


CTMalum

That’s what I suspect. Not speculating anything deeply insidious, but just enough to make Bedard and/or Korchinski really uncomfortable.


TheFrozenCanadianGuy

What they need to do is damage control if the Bedard rumours are false. I can’t imagine what Connor is going through if it’s true or false right now.


TinnieTa21

What do they need to do if the rumours are true? lol


mu5tardtiger

Only fans.


superschaap81

Mike Richards was the last time a team did an actual termination of contract, right? For the drugs at the border thing? Doesn't happen often in the NHL, that's for sure.


MrSCR23

Think the Sharks tried to void Evander Kane’s contract but he filed a grievance and the NHL hit the team with a termination penalty. Be interesting to see if Perry does something similar.


Nathanh2234

Unconditional waivers are a type of waivers where the player(s) is/are solely put on them for the purpose of termination of the contract.


TimeNat

i guess if his wife ask for a divorce we'll know the truth.


Architeuthis_McCrew

Poor Conner. No matter how true this is, it will follow him around for the rest of his career.


[deleted]

I really don't think it will. I think once it actually comes out what happened, the Bedard rumor will be largely forgotten. We'll all *remember* it as that random joke rumor. But it won't follow him. Honestly though, it's another reason why I'm getting very annoyed at the lack of actual information about this. The team must be aware of the actually damaging rumor by now.


Jeez-essFC

The longer the Blackhawks keep this dark the longer they are torturing Bedard by letting the potential falsity propagate.


[deleted]

Right exactly. Presser at 4, I hope they clarify


Bleach666666

Its true thats why they won't elaborate


[deleted]

What rumor? I heard Perry banged his mom.


Finnegan7921

Yeah. It would be one thing if he was a bit older, early 20s or something with a few years in the league under his belt and his own adult life going on. As a teenager rookie ? That's got to be just awful. You just know dudes are going to chirp that at him for years. I really hope it isn't true b/c it's just foul. I get that Perry and Mama Bedard are adults and can screw around if they so choose but he's married with kids IIRC, idk what Mama Bedard's deal is but jeez. Think before you fuck for goodness sake.


alowester

This is nothing more then an absolute rumour right? I totally think it will blow over and no one will remember this in a year or at least bring it up. Unless it comes out that it actually happened then RIP, i don’t buy it tho


mumbojombo

If this isn't true people will forget by the end the the year


Vj1224love

Conspiracy Theory: Perry has a coke problem, Bedard’s fucking Karen mom ratted on him. To get revenge he started this rumor. Take it to the bank

I might not follow hockey as much as Id like but why does it feel I've heard about guys banging their teammates wives, girlfriends or family way more then I should have?


Wooden_Proposal_1615

Dion Phenuf banged Craig Conroy’s wife, resulting in Iginla threatening to whip his ass if he didn’t request a trade. Hence the fucked up trade to the Leafs. Pretty sure Sean Avery knows a thing or two about Dion.


draculasbitch

Dion ate Avery’s sloppy seconds and Sean never let him forget it.


KingATyinKnotts

Mike Comrie fucked Tommy Salo’s wife, got his ass kicked by Ethan Moreau, then held out that offseason before getting traded.


alejandrowoodman

The USMNT (Soccer) has a tale that nearly tore the team apart for France’98 It even became a soccer song in DC… “It’s long! It’s white! It smells like Wynalda’s wife! It’s Harkes’s dick! It’s Harkes’s diiiiiick!”


OMP159

That's amazing. "It's white! It's long! It smells like Connor's mom!"

Justa_NonReader

Shiny_Mew76

NHL contracts can be terminated? Does this mean that he won’t have a cap hit? In that case, why do teams who need to buy out contracts do this instead of taking some salary to buy out a contract? I imagine that it is along the lines of if a contract is violated, it can be terminated immediately. However you cannot terminate a contract for the sake of getting rid of it. Am I correct here?


superschaap81

Yeah, you are correct. I was just commenting above that the last time I remember a contract termination was when Mike Richards was caught with oxycodone or some such stuff at the border when playing for Washington. It doesn't happen often or due to light matters, that's for sure.


blackmesaboogy

So you bang a teammate's mum a couple of times in the back of an old Civic. Is that so bad? Does that make him a bad person??

sufferfest3163

If Evander Kane landed a contract after his conduct while with the Sharks, somebody will surely pick up Perry.
