For months now, NHL fans have been curious as to why Corey Perry was terminated by the Chicago Blackhawks, and on a recent podcast appearance, it appeared as though former All-Star John Scott had given us our answer.
A false claim from John Scott
However, just a day later, the former NHL All-Star has revealed that he mis-spoke on the issue, and that the report he gave was factually inaccurate.
On my podcast this week I made a false and misleading statement regarding former Blackhawk Corey Perry. It was an off-the-cuff remark that is completely unfounded and not true. It was a poor choice of words and I'll try to be more careful in the future.

During that podcast appearance, this is what he had to say regarding Perry and his departure from Chicago;
Confirmed by current NBC Sports Chicago broadcaster John Scott that Corey Perry «made a mistake in Columbus one night, drank too much and made a pass at a staff member who worked at NBC». If that's all Perry did then it's not a big deal and nobody should be concerned
It's not the first time that someone has revealed a bombshell report that turned out to be false, and it likely won't be the last, and given how tight-lipped the Blackhawks have been on the situation, the real reason likely won't be revealed anytime soon.
