Jets forward Mathieu Perreault went on a profane tirade about Canucks winger Jake Virtanen avoiding supplemental discipline for an errant elbow. Perreault blasted the NHL's Department of Player Safety in detailed and colorful ways, and it's "get your popcorn" territory.
"Player safety, my a–," Perreault said to various media members, including Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun.
"This is literally an elbow to the face of a guy that didn't have the puck. I can't really protect myself if the league's not going to protect me. I'm the smallest guy in the ice so I can't really fight anybody. The only thing I can do to defend myself is use my stick so the next guy that does that to me is gonna get my f—ing stick. And I better not get suspended for it."

the grumbling has been building lately about what draws supplemental discipline, and what does not.' data-reactid="26">Perreault fumed after the Tuesday game (a 4-0 win for the Jets) and that feeling clearly didn't subside much with time. It sure seems like the grumbling has been building lately about what draws supplemental discipline, and what does not.

Zack Kassian's quotes about Matthew Tkachuk avoiding a suspension for controversial hits, and feel free to use ominous background music:' data-reactid="29">Perreault warning of swinging around his blankety blanking stick also isn't the only recent version of a player saying "Well, if they can get away with, I guess I can too." Ponder Zack Kassian's quotes about Matthew Tkachuk avoiding a suspension for controversial hits, and feel free to use ominous background music:
. "I can do exactly that. I didn't think you were allowed to, but after speaking with George apparently you are allowed. That is fine. That is great news. I'm a big guy who can skate and I can do that kind of stuff.' data-reactid="30">"For sure they are going to watch the game, but I think I can do what Matthew Tkachuk did if the league is saying it is clean," Kassian said, via Jason Gregor's transcription. "I can do exactly that. I didn't think you were allowed to, but after speaking with George apparently you are allowed. That is fine. That is great news. I'm a big guy who can skate and I can do that kind of stuff.
That big gulp you heard might have been from George Parros, who could have a mess on his hands when the Flames face the Oilers meet again. Or any time Perreault feels like he must defending himself with his (bad word[s]) stick.
While Perreault stews about this personal grievance, the Jets need him to stay cool. With Carl Dahlstrom the latest defenseman out with a significant injury, Winnipeg cannot afford to take bad penalties. Even if Perreault deploys the same great vengeance and furious anger, righteous or not.
