Are we sure that was even an animosity kind of fight? Maybe they thought both teams needed a morale boost after that and Perry felt obligated to answer the bell. Idk
He knew he had to step up. Are the leafs supposed to just ignore the fact that their CAPTAIN IS GONE after sustaining a horrific injury. Cant believe this community sometimes.

Even if NF knows it wasn’t intentional he was brought in to stick up for the team so he is doing his job. It’s not about beating up Perry, it’s about showing his dedication to the team and their run.

But when they do ignore it they're called soft.. they can't please this site because it's Toronto.
It was out of the code. Didn't have to be an intentional hit but Foligno is stepping up for his teammate there.. his captain. Respect to Perry who clearly said he was fine with the fight and tried to jump Foligno to start. But don't worry about pleasing idiotic fans. Hockey is hockey. It's part of the game.

I agree 100% that if there was no response we'd see hundreds of comments about how soft they were.
The knee to knee hit by Chiariot was a penalty. The follow up with Perry was a fluke, it's just unfortunate that he tried to miss him and ended up causing more force than if he just ran into him. Again I'm not saying it was malicious, more of a natural split second reaction with the intent of avoiding contact

I'm sorry, what did you just say?
There was no penalty on that play. Chiarot hit Tavares with a clean shoulder check and pushed through his check causing Tavares to fall back. Tavares' knee actually hit Chiarot's thigh.
I'm sorry, but if you thought that was a knee to knee hit or a penalty at all, you need to re-learn hockey. That was 100% clean in any game by any player.

Fwiw my comment was based on what I had heard on talk radio. I just watched the hit on YouTube and whatever caused Tavares to injure his knee on the initial hit appeared to be incidental.
Anyways sorry I agreed with you bro. Please consider my second comment rescinded
