When it comes to defending his teammates, Perry hasn't held back, as he fought Hunter Skinner after a dirty hit on Martin Misiak during preseason play. Last game, tensions between the two flared on the ice due to another incident.
In the game, Noah Gregor and Nikita Zaitsev had an incident that caused the Blackhawks defenseman to be injured, causing both teams to become agitated.
Ultimately, Perry and Reaves fought, and Perry couldn't hold his own against the current NHL heavyweight Ryan Reaves.
Mark Masters, a TSN reporter, asked Reaves about his relationship with Perry since he joined the league. Asked how he felt about the man who is considered one of the league's pests, Reaves replied.
The two haven't gotten along since they met in the league, and they always seem to run into one another when they play each other.
There is no doubt that Reaves and the rest of the league share the same opinion about Perry.
Not all is lost, though, since he has endeared himself to Blackhawks and Canadiens fans recently.
Anyway, Reaves and the Maple Leafs lost 3-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks in their own territory.
