Corey Perry continued to have the worst Stanley Cup Final luck and NHL fans had so many jokes

Corey Perry probably has the worst Stanley Cup Final luck in existence.

On Monday, the Edmonton Oilers fell to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, their hopes dashed of completing the reverse sweep. The loss means Canada’s Stanley Cup drought continues and so does Perry’s.

In November 2023, the Chicago Blackhawks released Perry from his contract with the team due to undisclosed circumstances. Perry then signed with the Oilers in January 2024 and was part of the team through its Stanley Cup run. However, this hasn’t been the first time Perry has gone to the Stanley Cup Final and lost.

Over the last five seasons, Perry has been to four Stanley Cup Finals … and lost all four of them.

Yes really, you read that right. Since 2020, Perry has been part of the Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning and now the Oilers and lost in the Final in each year.

That is some incredibly tragic luck. NHL fans, however, had a field day with the news that Perry’s poor Stanley Cup luck continued into 2024.
