David Perron: Older, wiser, and better at hockey

My oldest memory of St. Louis Blues winger David Perron came during his rookie season with the team. He was gliding into the offensive zone and whistled a pass towards the front of the net that Keith Tkachuk missed.

The goaltender scooped it up and the play was blown dead. Perron skated off and threw a mini tantrum. It was similar to a young child kicking his feet at Walmart because his parents didn’t buy him a toy. It was during that very moment that I thought Perron would die a young death, because Big Walt gave him a death stare from across the ice.
