So....be honest............who had Corey Perry in the Rocket Richard Trophy fantasy pool?

I had Boogaard. I don't know how the hell this happened.

My pick was Stamkos. But earlier this season another user asked to make up a top line if you were a GM and I did use Perry (and got crucified...including by a couple of the better to remain unnamed regulars). Hard to deny a scorer who plays a gritty (sometimes over the edge) physical game. He is the classic guy you love to hate when your team plays the Ducks but if your team ever traded for him he would become an instant fan favorite.

As for the thumbs down....it isnt just you LITY. Seems there are some childish people here who give them to a lot of the regulars. I get at least 2 for every answer I give now so I seem to have acquired a couple of "fans". Thumbs down is only given out by losers who cant respect others opinions because of their own personal issues....I have never given one and dont see any reason to as I dont have "issues" and have no trouble functioning in society. I suspect this is true of most of the people who are capable of giving intelligent answers or opinions....kinda easy to guess who some of the losers are.

I have always liked Perry. I drafted him in two of my Fantasy leagues. To give you an idea how far off the radar he was I got him in the 2nd round in one and in the third round with the 36th overall pick in another. That Loblaw guy had already passed on him 3 times. In fact someone had already drafted that Bum Spezza at that point.

I remember asking a 50/50 question in November about Stamkos, his production as really fallen off.

Perry is a great player as he does it all, scores, PP, PK scores shorthanded and doesn't mind taking the occasional penalty.

I had Ovechkin as my top RR candidate

He's not underrated.......how can you be underrated and be on Team Canada winning a Gold Medal? World Juniors? OHL standout? 1st round pick? etc...etc

Rocket trophy? Seems fair (my pick was Stamkos) but spare me the Hart talk....a writer pens an article about it and it goes viral. Let's face it, 99% of the time, the Hart goes to the top point getter....he's 6th. Not to mention.....is he that much more valuable to the Ducks than Getzlaf? Hiller? Ryan? Selanne or Viznovsky even?

I had Stamkos...clearly this is my East Coast bias coming through (last year had me coverted to a believer in him). I guess I just saw perry as a perpetual 30-goal scorer (which is damn good lest we forget) on a Ducks team that had a really good top line.

I always viewed Getzlaf as the prize on that top line (Perry/Getzlaf/Ryan).

I don't have a fantasy pool lol. But if I did I wouldn't have thought of to pick Perry out of all the other players....This season he has been amazing, and I know he has been considered a scorer, but also considered a "tough" guy. I think he is underrated in the sense that there is more to this guy than just fighting or being an instigator. He can do all of this at once, while being a 40+ goal scorer, which is rare in today's NHL in my opinion.

I would've said Stamkos. Glad to see someone other than OV/Sid up there, although it likely would've been Crosby's award without the concussion ruining his season.

I had Crosby. I hope Perry can take it, he's having a great season.

Me too! Corey Perry is the most underrated forward/player in the league.

I know, I had Stamkos and it was looking good for awhile... Then Perry comes out of no where and robbs me of words...Wow.

Not me. He's had an amazing second half.

Imagine what Perry could do if he could actually skate?
