It's another Zoom media conference in the NHL playoff bubble. Corey Perry and Joe Pavelski of the Dallas Stars are sharing a laugh.
For 13 years, they were involved in one of hockey's nastiest divisional rivalries between Pavelski's San Jose Sharks and Perry's Anaheim Ducks. (Perry had 94 penalty minutes in 70 games against San Jose, his second most against any team.) Their rivalry extended to international play, in which Perry represented Canada and Pavelski the United States in the IIHF world championships, two Olympics and the World Cup of Hockey.
