Corey Perry Snaps on Lian Bichsel Following Oilers' 5-Goal Collapse in Wild Third Period Scrum

The Edmonton Oilers choked away a late lead against the Dallas Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, and after stamping their mark on this series, the Stars showed that they aren't a team to be taken lightly.

Late in the game, chaos erupted as veteran Corey Perry snapped after the final whistle, going after 21-year old Lian BIschel, and in the process, he made himself look like a fool as he mocked the young star following a scrum.

In some cases, this would be a funny move if the two players had a long rivalry and a history, but in this case it just makes Perry look foolish, and on social media, the fans were highly critical of Perry for making this move after the final whistle had sounded.

In his mind however, the 40-year old may have gotten an advantage over the young Stars team as a result of this play, but with Dallas posting a 5-0 third period to pick up the win, a potential little win over a young player at the end simply won't do the job for Perry.

Ultimately, this is the type of game he's played throughout his career, and thus far it's been very successful, but with the Stars having many physical veterans that can stand up to Perry later in this series, so after he tried to act tough against a 21-year old, don't be surprised to see this come up more throughout what should be a fantastic series.
