Steve Kozari reprimands Corey Perry, prompting foul language
Corey Perry took a penalty during Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final and protested angrily from the penalty box, earning a reprimand from the referee.
Perry was called for goalie interference in the second period as the Oilers struggled. His frustration likely stemmed from the Panthers taking a commanding lead in this crucial game. By the end of the period, the Panthers were ahead 4-1.

Fan reactions to the play were typical, given Corey Perry's notorious reputation as a pest in the league. In recent years, he has also earned a reputation as a perennial loser, having reached the Stanley Cup Finals four times in the past five seasons but losing each time.
Other fans credited the Panthers for being the better team. Many viewed Perry's outburst as evidence that the Oilers are mentally weaker than the Panthers, who always seem unshaken.
Players can often channel their frustration into great performances, but when they respond to referees like this, it's usually a bad sign. If this behavior continues, the Panthers are likely to win the Stanley Cup this year.
