During his brief stint with the Montreal Canadiens during the 2020-21 campaign, Corey Perry impressed many with his transcendent leadership. It’s not on the scorecard that big Perry was amazing, as he slowed down considerably on the offensive end. It was rather his abrasive side, his desire to win and his exemplary attitude that impressed the gallery.
Moreover, in my opinion, if this 2020-21 edition of the blue-white-red reached the Stanley Cup final, it is because of the radiant leadership of Perry, Carey Price and Shea Weber. Perry was the ‘daddy’ of several young players within the club, including Nick Suzuki, who was already seen as the next captain of the ship at this time. Perry also spoke out on the leadership of number 14.
“Believe me, he is tailor-made for the role of captain. There is no other player that I would have named in his place. – Perry
For Perry, the choice of Suzuki was inevitable, he who has leadership similar to that of Shea Weber, which is no small thing. He speaks when it’s time and his attitude, both on and off the ice, is impeccable. Like Weber, Suzuki picks up his pocket and carries it into the hallway to help the equipment team.
Moreover, the Edmonton Oilers will be in battle Monday evening, at the Bell Centre, to face the Montreal Canadiens at 7:30 p.m. The Oilers, who are positioning themselves more and more, will battle against a clan which is is greatly adjusted to the level of this defensive urgency in the last two games. The CH mentality is well positioned and Suzuki’s level of play on the ice has reached another level. level.
In any case, if the CH plays like in the last two duels, it risks being in the game against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers, which would be very attractive for the fans present at the Temple.
