The rematch has come and gone between the Oilers and Canucks, but the drama lingers, as Corey Perry continued to poke the bear with his post-game comments. Corey Perry was in vintage form as the <a href='https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/oilers-avenge-chippy-loss-to-canucks-with-an-emphatic-6-2-victory-1.2241128' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2</a> on Thursday evening. At 39, Perry didn't register on the scoresheet, but his presence was large. True to his nickname The Worm, he irritated just about every Canuck player who got close to him. The antics began early, as Perry got tied up with Vancouver captain Quinn Hughes in a scrum, and then created bedlam, drawing Teddy Blueger into a roughing penalty that nullified a Canucks power play and inducing Mark Friedman to take a 10-minute misconduct. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1882637288040972682'> </a></blockquote></div> <h3>Perry asked Miller what he ate for dinner</h3> Even late in the second period, Perry was seen getting into an animated exchange with JT Miller; when questioned what the two exchanges were after the game, he responded with a coy, sneaky grin. «I just asked him what he had for dinner and how everything was going,» Perry said with a sly smile. «That was it.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1882660448031699159'> </a></blockquote></div> Leon Draisaitl, who had a goal and three points, said that <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/corey-perry-8470621' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Perry</a> was so poised controlling the game and not getting rattled. There was one big stretch where Perry refused an invitation to scrap from Blueger, instead drawing a penalty. «There is a time and place and I just felt like the time and the place was not right now,» Perry said. «They had 12 guys coming after me on one shift there I felt like, but it's part of the game and it is what it is.» <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dstaples/status/1882643130660307361'> </a></blockquote></div> That thwarted what would have been a massive power play for the Canucks, which would have cut it to 5-3 with plenty of time remaining. To Vancouver fans, Perry's signature agitation was likely infuriating, but to the Oilers faithful, it was a masterclass in pest-like precision. While the teams do not meet again in the regular season, the potential for a playoff rematch is an open invite to fireworks aplenty.
