No team was better equipped to absorb the “congrats on losing the Stanley Cup Final” jokes that come attached to Corey Perry: “Does that mean we get past the Oilers in the first round? Great.”
A few months later, Perry, at 40, has seven goals for the Kings, and he’s gotten there in minimal minutes; his goal rate (2.35 goals per 60) is fifth in the league. He’s also leading Los Angeles in average Game Score. Not bad for an old guy.
