Corey Perry lashed out on his teammate Evander Kane after a lazy play led to a turnover in last night's game between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames.
In the last few seconds of the second period, Perry returned to the bench, slammed the door, and lashed out on Evander Kane.
Kevin Bieksa, the former NHLer turned analyst for Sportsnet, believed that Perry was upset for a turnover created by Kane in the Oilers' zone.
Here's what he said:
"Well, you can tell this is a team that's thinking about the playoffs and how they're going to play and thinking about high percentage. And this is Kane. Kind of a whole pass to nobody there. You can see Perry, you know, obviously we're speculating, but I'm thinking he's saying, hey, keep this puck down low.
There's nobody there. Like, you don't need to throw it away and give the puck to the Calgary. And this continues on for a while. And I can tell you from playing with Perry, he doesn't do this very often. He doesn't yell at teammates."

While Perry doesn't often get angry at the bench, at this time of the year, it's not unusual to see players show their emotions.
In the playoffs, any small mistake can cost a game. Perry, with his vast experience, knows it and wanted to make sure that Kane wouldn't do that again.
