Nashville Predators Holiday List – 25 Days of Predsmas: Week 2
By Colin Blouin
A Christmas Story is a holiday classic, one of the original coming of age tales. It hasn’t necessarily aged well in some aspects, but it’s still a good watch, and entertaining every year. Within the movie, there’s a very familiar villain who torments Ralphie and the other kids: Skud Farkus.
The thing about Skud is, everyone knows one. There’s literally nothing special about him: he’s not smart or clever, he’s not nuanced, he doesn’t possess any skill that makes you think he’s anything special – he’s just a straight up goon.
Corey Perry is the Nashville Predators’ version Skud Farkus. He’s just garbage. I mean, look at Skud Farkus, and then look at a current picture of Corey Perry (then wash your eyes out), and tell me you couldn’t see Skud growing into what Perry is today?
I’ll bet after not making any friends in childhood, much like Perry, Skud took up hockey thinking “people can’t ignore me if I join a team sport.” You know this is likely what got Perry into hockey too, but jokes on him, his teammates don’t like him either.
There’s a reason he hasn’t been signed as a free agent, and shouldn’t be: Corey Perry doesn’t deserve friends – holiday spirit be damned. Enjoy his much-deserved walk of shame:
