EDMONTON -- Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

The Edmonton Oilers go down 3-0 in their series against the Florida Panthers. The Panthers have been capitalizing on any (and every) mistake the Oilers make.
The Oilers showed some pushback after the fourth goal was scored. They had prolonged periods of offensive zone time. They threw everything that they could at Sergei Bobrovsky and it wasn't enough.
Enter Corey Perry.
Perry has a knack for being a pest and getting under the skin of opposing players. He's been doing his best to rattle Bobrovsky's cage - intentionally or otherwise.
In one of many scrums around the Florida net, Perry ended up sitting on Bobrovsky's back. This resulted in a goaltender interference penalty. Sam Bennett was mixed up in the scrum as well, and received a two minute penalty as well.
This led to one of the most entertaining moments of the game - Perry's reaction to the penalty being called.
Perry stood at the gate of the penalty box staring at the referee, who told him to "sit down." Immediately after he says "goaltender interference" Perry begins laughing, then throws his stick in the box.
From there you can do some basic lip reading to see what he says. To my eyes it looks like the first thing he says is, "f*** you." You can use your imagination to fill in the rest.

Perry had a right to be upset, as he had multiple Panthers players knock him on top of their own goalie.
The Oilers will play the most important game of their season on Saturday.
