It’s always something to see the Montreal Canadiens playing the Tampa Bay Lightning, seeing that it means the team is now facing former beloved teammate Corey Perry.
As you know, Perry joined the Bolts on a two-year $2 million dollar contract this summer after he was a member of the Habs, who lost the Stanley Cup final in five games to the Lightning.
Fans in Montreal are missing Perry, and love to hear stories that he called Canadiens’ young forward Cole Caufield when he was sent back to minors in Laval earlier this season.
However on Tuesday night, when the Habs came to Tampa Bay for the first game after the league-wide pause, Perry was not in the mood for a reunion.
During the second period, he was seen going off on forward Cedric Paquette and the Habs’ bench did not appreciate it. Paquette was not a teammate in Montreal, so that's all good. But it got worse. Perry started barking back at his former teammates and the camera caught it all on tape.
No love lost.
Perry finally got a little revenge when he scored the tying goal for the Bolts, pushing the game in overtime. The Lightning ended up winning 5-4 in extra time, so the Habs are the ones barking now.
