There are not too many players in the NHL that play that hard noised old school hockey as hard as the Tampa Bay Lightning's Corey Perry. Say what you want about his style, he's hated by the opposition, yet everyone would love Perry as a teammate.
However, with that rough no holds barred style Perry plays, there has been times he's injured players. Perry was a big part of the Tampa Bay Lightning's run this year, losing to the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final. After the series, one member of the Avalanche had some accusations against Perry and his style of play, accusing Perry of intentionally trying to to injure players.
The accusations come from Valeri Nichushkin. Perry comes by his nickname "the worm" for doing whatever it takes to get under the skin of opposing teams. Nichushkin is currently home where he is conducting interviews and he would talk about the Stanley Cup Final when the Avalanche knocked out the Tampa Bay Lightning.
