Thanks you guys so much for all the love and support!! Many more vids to come I’m here back with this style vid every Friday about the NHL and got some golf ones every Monday!! You guys are the best and am sending all good energy to everyone of you that commented🤙🏼🤙🏼
Such a great perspective, these NHL stories are absolutely fire! I think you’re on to something here…and by the way I think your character is in the same company as those you are praising 🎉
Exactly - tired of the PR talk post-game. Let’s hear the real stuff. Golfers like Bryson Dechambeau have taken control of their social media and create their own content. Why not hockey players, too?
I’ll never forget what this guy did for my Arizona Coyotes franchise mode in NHL 18 when he grew to a 93 overall medium elite. 6x cup winner, 8x Art Ross trophy winner, 6x Hart trophy winner, 2x Maurice Richard trophy winner, led the Coyotes franchise in all-time points with I think 1400ish, and played his whole career with the franchise. You’ll always be remembered, you’ll always be missed. Thank you Pearls!
@@lanemars You might be right on that one actually. But either way, I’m glad to see this guy is a class act and genuinely a great guy. I wish his longevity could’ve been there in the league a bit more, but he still got to live the dream. Not many people can say they did what he did.
Jonathan Toews will always have my respect. Back during the lockout in 2012/13 I worked at a rink that Toews and a bunch of the Blackhawks and other NHLers that lived in/near Chicago rented out to practice/scrimmage together while the teams weren't officially practicing (if I remember correctly Toews was the one primarily organizing these pick-ups). The had about 4 or 5 of them over the course of a couple weeks. And though these were in the middle of the school/work day and though they were trying to keep things fairly quiet word had started to get out, and being a public rink people were coming by to watch. This was middle-of-dynasty prime Blackhawks so people were pretty excited about this when they found out. The first one had only a dozen or so spectators, but by the time the last one rolled around, there must've been between 150 and 200 people (maybe more) that showed up to watch. Now some of the other guys would sneak out the back door to try and not deal with the fans/crowd, but each time Toews left through the front door and talked to/signed autographs/took pictures with EVERY. SINGLE. FAN. that wanted to meet him. That last day he must've stuck around for almost 2 hours after he got off the ice just being there for the fans with a smile on his face the entire time. That impressed me as much as his skills on the ice. Class act.
That was the year they had the best record in hockey ,percentage wise. Kenny McCudden was helping them through those sessions if I remember right. Skills coach for the Capitols now. That team was SO good
Steve Dangle made a video (I think) around the time of the off-season prior to this season, in which he broke down just how rare it is to even score one. Definitely worth checking out
Man, every time ex-Blackhawks players talk about Toews, I think he was literally born to be a captain. The stories about interactions or instances with him always seem to have impacted his ex-teammates on a deep, personal level because he makes people feel seen, regardless of their position on the team. What a great guy. I hope we get to see him play again one day but if not I do hope he’s enjoying life and getting healthy again.
@@jonathandrouin8717 you know you can just say you dislike Toews for no real reason and go right? You don’t need to cite incidents that you either simply haven’t read up on with critical thinking engaged or learned about through unreliable sources.
Toews.. Crosby.. I wonder if it has something to do with where they both grew up.. Coal Harbor BC? They were both born to be leaders,.. so humble, so well liked & respected by everyone! I believe that Nathan McKinnon is also from there as well! All 3 are future HOFers!😂
Sorry about this. .. There is always one person in every video who ruins it for everyone else! Some people just aren't happy unless they are the center of attention & their comments cause some kind of unnecessary controversy! Instead of them listening to some great stories.. enjoying hearing them & smiling.. saying nothing negative & scrolling on by. I'm guessing that if the stalker fan doesn't hear about it .. then it didn't happen & this former teammate of his is wrong! What is wrong with people?
That Toews story about him telling the coach to put you back out there was awesome. As a former player at pretty high level that wouldve been the biggest boost.
Lamborghini Perlini!!! Was fun to watch you here in Edmonton, you didn't play here for that long unfortunately but you were definitely a fan favourite while you were here! Really cool video brother hope to see a part 2 soon, stay well!
This guy knows ahaha absolutely a fan favorite here in Edmonton, I wanna say it was preseason in 2021 or 22 when Perlini came and and starting running up our goals. I'll never forget the Lamborghini Perlini!!
I remember a game I was at when you scored a big goal for us sometime in the regular season. The arena got kinda quiet at some point shortly after you scored for some reason so I got up and yelled "LAMBORGHINI PERLINI!" I was pretty high up so you probably didn't hear shit but my section loved it haha Miss you on the Oil man, good to see ya doin well!
I was genuinely mad when they stopped playing him in Edmonton. You could tell he brought a great energy and vibe to the team, and he could shoot! Didn’t understand why he got sent down. I will never forget the speech he had when asked about the losing streak Edmonton was on. It made me laugh and smile and I was just like wow I love this dude! KEEP HIM 😃
Here's a Mike Smith story: I took my sons to public practice when Mike was the Stars goalie. After the skate players were tossing pucks, etc to the older kids while I had my 4 year old on my shoulders, crying because he was too small to get in the mix to get anything. Mike saw this and motioned me over. He kept his stick out of the reach of of grabby parents and made sure my son got it. Of course, it cheered him up instantly and I won't forget him being extra thoughtful to my little kid. Since his name came up in this video I'll take the opportunity to say 'Thanks, Mike!' publicly.
I was pleasantly surprised by this content. I was just reminiscing the other night with my dad about the first time i saw an NHL player. It was during a game in our small town arena and Greg Terrion who played for Toronto and came back to his home town to play as a guest on one of the teams just for fun... I remember hearing his skates on the ice sounded like he was carving through the ice and he made every player i thought was hot stuff look like literal babies. He was basically untouchable with the puck and he was just an average player in the NHL. The next time i saw him was when he got a team organized for a baseball tournament. Him and his brothers were on a team... Everytime these boys stepped up to the plate... Smuck! Without any effort homerun into the river... To see professional atheletes play sports even for fun... They are like on a different planet. So respect for being able to play at that level...
Watching this video makes you realize how important it is to have strong veteran leadership on the team. Loved hearing how Towes made a point to break down the “team cliques” and build a cohesive squad. True leadership.
This was so refreshing. The story about almost taking Smith out in the warm up was funny. Congrats on a career in the NHL you guys are so skilled it’s crazy.
@@Bubzp11 the punchline to that story I thought was really funny. Your video in general I thought was really well done and interesting. I just subscribed and I hope their is more content like that in future.
My girlfriend eats everything from a bowl while I always choose a plate. But she eats ice cream from a coffee mug so she doesn't speed up the melting process. I think Duncan would appreciate that 😂
Great video, Brendan 'Lamborghini Scorelini' Perlini as we Oilers fans loved to call you! You were for sure a fan favorite on the online Oilers Reddit forum and as a fan I appreciate you for your time in Edmonton! All the best and I hope you can 'come home' during a playoff run because I know you'd get a ton of applause!
Former OHL cameraman for The North Bay Battalion here. Brendan, I am glad to have witnessed you grow at a professional level when you were with The Niagara Ice Dogs.
That's a sweet video, dude. It's cool to hear stories beyond the press releases. I was at a wedding in the summer of 2017, where I met most of the LA Kings. Being 6'4 it's pretty rare I am in a room full of tall people, so that was the first thing I noticed. Those guys were super friendly and laid back. Aside from a couple of huge egos, they were terrific. Beautiful wedding on top of snowbird in Utah. They can party. Dear god, can they party.
I don’t know who you are (just getting back into NHL) but will look up all your stats and highlights now. You are now one of my favourite players. Cheers!
I really loved watching you on the Hawks man. I remember that great streak you had and wish we could have kept you for longer. Thanks for sharing these cool stories.
Think we all have one of those stories with one of our goalies. Was yelled at a couple times, one goalie I used to do it on purpose cause he would get so upset and he would play out of his mind good when he was upset.
This is one of a kind content. You gotta give us more stories not only in the show, but also the A, and your stint in Europe. Very seldom that we see someone so open, please continue!!! I’m sharing this with every hockey fan I know, thanks perls!!!!
I frequently come back to the video of you speaking to the media after the season had finished in Edmonton. It was so amazing to see someone on the team I cheer heart and soul for being so honest, open, and genuine about the team and the year. That video, and how reliable you were on the ice made me really want to root for you. This video has the same vibe! Subscribed right away man. Thanks!
Awesome vid man, really like the casual, sidewalk chat aspect of it. Really cool insight from a real NHL/AHL pro. I'm a huge hockey fan so this insider info is really interesting. Good luck with your YT side stuff, hope it blows up! If you don't mind some constructive feedback, here are some thoughts: - for a longer vid, might help to insert the chapters so us viewers could navigate and re-watch their favorite parts and what not - keep it real like you did with this one, don't sacrifice quality for click-bait or overly-flashy stuff even if YT favors those. In the long run, it'll earn your viewer's loyalty - don't give up! props to you for putting yourself out there and trying this. I feel like hockey culture can sometimes be a boys club that mocks people tryin to do their own unique thing, so respect man
Thank you so much man for all this! Im knew to the game but am always trying to learn so thank you for the help. Ill try my best to just be myself best I can and tell my stories that I experienced first hand.
Great stories mate. Nice to hear some of these behind the scenes interactions with these legendary players. Makes me happy to realize they have good senses of humor and great teammates. Those make for the best players to be around. 👍🏼
Really enjoyed watching you in Edmonton, your positivity I feel really helped the team turn it around and make a run to get into the playoffs a successful one! A couple clutch goals in key games thrown in there too!
Subbed! You were always really approachable with the media, all of us, when with the Coyotes. I always appreciated it! Worked for NBC Sports Radio in Phoenix. You're spot on about Doaner. What a good dude. Ego free.
Cool vid, just seeing this now. Hope all is well Perlini. I'd love to hear more stories about what life is like in the NHL. Maybe something that can kinda scratch a level or two deeper than just "lots of travel and being treated so well" would love to hear about parties, ridiculousness, anything that I would never think of.
Holy smokes, you just popped up on my TH-cam recommendations! Roadrunners season ticket holder here since inception and had the pleasure of watching you play for us. You were always someone we were excited to see, and I'm glad I found you on TH-cam! Halfway through the video, and it's this kind of video that most of us hockey guys like most. Thanks, Brendan! I'll find you in IG, too 👊
Such a cool video to see! You should be proud of yourself and everything you accomplished. Any games played in the NHL is one of the more impressive feats out there!
Def subscribed, looking forward to other cool vids on NHL life, puckheads like me eat this all up!! Btw, 50 goals, 5 yrs & 250+ games played for 5 NHL teams, GWG’s & you scored a HAT TRICK, you’re living the NHL fans dream bro!
Great video, glad to see you on TH-cam! I always wondered what was puljujarvi like? Heard hes halarious. If you make another video id love to know! All the best
As a goalie myself i was laughing when you told that Smith story, although im not that guy that would be yelling at guys :) Nice concept, telling stories while walking, kinda makes it feel like having a real conversation while going somewhere! Greetings from Sweden
Just found your channel tonight after the Panthers clinched the eastern conference. Love that you played in the show and have stories to share. Subscribed
Subscribed. It was awesome listening to your story. Congrats on making it to the big show and for having a pretty cool career brother. Appreciate the video!
This is great man, I'd love to see more NHL guys doing this. I think Mike was a different guy by the time he rolled through Calgary and onto Edmonton. More relaxed. Glad you guys sorted it out!
I feel like I remember him from then Sault. Maybe I’m wrong. Played or lived here. I’m a music teacher in town, and work at Case’s. Loved the video, and the stories! Really cool channel! Keep this style, as it’s not typical and refreshingl!
As a hockey fan, it is so awesome to hear your experiences with different players! As fans, our perspective of players is based on what we see on the ice and occasionally what we read in articles so it's really cool to hear personal, human experiences from someone who has actually played with them rather than a journalist. Not just the players tho, I feel like I learned a bit about you as a person navigating and playing the NHL and meeting different people. Just awesome stuff man, hope life continues to bring you more awesome experiences no matter where they are 🙏
We see terrible intermission interviews (just stop those already, please), predictable post game interviews, and awkward commercials. Fans get impressions of players based on what we see on TV, and that doesn't do the whole person justice.
Dude fellow Sault native here. It’s wild that this random video popped up on my feed at 2am. Loved watching you play in the O and following your career in the pros.
This got linked on the Blackhawks subreddit, so expect an influx of views. I'd love to see a series of these snippets of real NHLers, not the "gotta dig deep, find a way to score" intermission soundbites we get. And as a Chicagoan, I'm stoked to see you still repping a piece of Chicago, Perls!
Perlini, when you were with Edmonton, you were my favourite player, my family wasn’t a big fan of you except for me! Always held strong and cheered for you! You’re the goat!!!
former roadrunner stm when it was you and fisch lighting it up and i’m a chicago transplant in az so there was a good 4-5 years where i was watching all your shifts. wish you and your family all the best, appreciate the kindness in our few short interactions.
I worked up at the same camp Mike Smith trained at. He was never friendly at all. Andrew Raycroft, PK Subban, David Clarkson, Mike Cammalleri…nicest people you would ever meet. Smith wouldn’t say a word to us peasants.
Love the inside info and done with a high level of respect. I'll never forget your presser in 21,22 about thinking positively. Turned the season around, IMO. Liked and Subscribed
Great job man. This is dope. I'm a Panthers fan so I've kept an eye on you, Samoskevich, Asplund, Sourdif, Skoog, Mayhew, Knight, and Carlsson. I've been a Panther fan as long as I can remember. I watched Gretzky's play as a Ranger, fist bumps with the Bure brothers, and Worrell. You know we don't have many down to earth personalities in professional hockey. You get the same interview answers "We have to just keep moving the puck uhh stay hard on the forecheck uhh dig deep and play hard for 60 minutes" so getting to hear from guys like you, Biz, PK, and Weeksy that have amazing communication skills and story telling is dope as hell. Keep up the good work man!
I enjoyed the video. I moved to Phoenix in 1989. I was already a Sabres fan, but I loved watching the Coyotes play. Shane Doan was a particular favorite of mine, and thanks to the local media, I got to see his love for the local fans and community. It was great to hear about the other players as well. I'm going to subscribe to hear more about the inside of the NHL.
Brendan, thank you for this video! It just showed up on my feed, I'm glad it did. Great content. Above in the description you asked us to comment who our fav all time player is... Sounds so generic in a way to say it but it has to be Gretzky. I was 10 years old when the Oilers and Gretzky joined the league. Perfect timing for a kid that age. I was lucky to watch them growing up. The times for my team later on were a little dry so now I have a deeper appreciation for the game in general.
Cool video dude! Very chill and relaxed. I enjoyed it very much. Would be nice to have a similar video of you talking about your season in Europe and what did you like and dislike about that.
I'm a Condors and Oilers fan who cheered for the Hawks whenever the Oil didn't make the playoffs. It was interesting to hear all of these stories about my favorite teams and players. I look forward to hearing more of them.
Greetings from another Condors and Oilers fan, I got recommended this video and I wondered, “Why does this name sound familiar” and it hit me that this is the Brendan Perlini when he played for the Condors and Oilers in 2021-22
@@JonathanGaeta Yeah, for me it's a bit of a weird story because I was a Condors fan who didn't like any NHL teams until I visited Edmonton in 2012. Imagine my utter shock when my teams came together shortly after. It still seems strange to me because it's just so random.
can tell you look back so fondly at your time in chicago! So many incredible players weve been able to watch during that time and i cant help but selfishly feel like it shouldve been more than 3 cups. they were that damn good
I'm a hockey fan, but honestly I never heard of this guy...I'm probably not that big a fan then. But this monologue with his stories and his humbleness and sincerity made me a fan. subscribed

This is one of a kind content. You gotta give us more stories not only in the show, but also the A, and your stint in Europe. Very seldom that we see someone so open, please continue!!! I’m sharing this with every hockey fan I know, thanks perls!!!!
Lamborghini Perlini! Absolutely stoked you’re posting videos! Love the role players that come through Edmonton and you’re up on the list forsure!
I enjoyed that. Loved your time with Oilers. You had some incredible moments there. Fun to watch!
already an instant favourite channel, very cool perspective on the league
Thank you so much! Wayyyy more behind the scenes stuff to come of what happens to come!
@@Bubzp11 what are the chances you can have some of your old buddies on as guests?
I frequently come back to the video of you speaking to the media after the season had finished in Edmonton. It was so amazing to see someone on the team I cheer heart and soul for being so honest, open, and genuine about the team and the year. That video, and how reliable you were on the ice made me really want to root for you. This video has the same vibe! Subscribed right away man. Thanks!
Awesome vid man, really like the casual, sidewalk chat aspect of it. Really cool insight from a real NHL/AHL pro. I'm a huge hockey fan so this insider info is really interesting.
Good luck with your YT side stuff, hope it blows up! If you don't mind some constructive feedback, here are some thoughts:
- for a longer vid, might help to insert the chapters so us viewers could navigate and re-watch their favorite parts and what not
- keep it real like you did with this one, don't sacrifice quality for click-bait or overly-flashy stuff even if YT favors those. In the long run, it'll earn your viewer's loyalty
- don't give up! props to you for putting yourself out there and trying this. I feel like hockey culture can sometimes be a boys club that mocks people tryin to do their own unique thing, so respect man
Thank you so much man for all this! Im knew to the game but am always trying to learn so thank you for the help. Ill try my best to just be myself best I can and tell my stories that I experienced first hand.
Great stories mate. Nice to hear some of these behind the scenes interactions with these legendary players. Makes me happy to realize they have good senses of humor and great teammates. Those make for the best players to be around. 👍🏼
What a beauty. Looking forward to more stories!
Many more to come!!
Your Duncan Keith stories had me laughing out loud. Thanks for the insights on these guys!
Huge hawks fan, always remember your winter classic goal against Boston.
Haven’t done it yet but I’ll have a vid about behind the scenes in winter classic and the goal and celly!!
Really enjoyed watching you in Edmonton, your positivity I feel really helped the team turn it around and make a run to get into the playoffs a successful one! A couple clutch goals in key games thrown in there too!
love hearing the inside stories. especially the one about toews leading up to your first hatty, super cool
You were a pleasure to watch here in EDM with that compete level and weapon of a shot, wish you could've stuck around longer. All the best Perls
IceDogs legend AND CM Punk fan? What a king
He’s a great guy! Met him in 2016 he was training at my gym in AZ and been friends since!! Just pure good dude!
Long Beach Ice Dog?
Litteraly had chills when you told your hat trick story man! Great skater, good goal scorer, more than decent NHL career my guy!
Great to hear your stories of formers teammates. The Toews and Keith stories are great.
Really enjoyed the video and hearing about the guys and some of your fun stories from being their teammate ... great vibes !
Subbed! You were always really approachable with the media, all of us, when with the Coyotes. I always appreciated it! Worked for NBC Sports Radio in Phoenix. You're spot on about Doaner. What a good dude. Ego free.
Cool vid, just seeing this now. Hope all is well Perlini.
I'd love to hear more stories about what life is like in the NHL. Maybe something that can kinda scratch a level or two deeper than just "lots of travel and being treated so well" would love to hear about parties, ridiculousness, anything that I would never think of.
Holy smokes, you just popped up on my TH-cam recommendations! Roadrunners season ticket holder here since inception and had the pleasure of watching you play for us. You were always someone we were excited to see, and I'm glad I found you on TH-cam! Halfway through the video, and it's this kind of video that most of us hockey guys like most. Thanks, Brendan! I'll find you in IG, too 👊
Such a cool video to see! You should be proud of yourself and everything you accomplished. Any games played in the NHL is one of the more impressive feats out there!
I love the honesty. That will keep me coming back.
PERLINI HAS A TH-cam?! Hell yes. Such a sick video man. Just chill, so sick.
Thanks bruv
Dude this is such an amazing video and your story telling is great! Chicago guy here and your tazer stories are so dope.
Man appreciate that sooo much!! Thank u
Chicagos a second home for me forsure!!
@@Bubzp11 come back bedsy needs a winger
Super interesting to hear back stories like this from NHL players. Awesome video!
Just found this video. Love the way you tell stories, man. I'd love to hear more. Liked and subbed.
thanks man!!!
The channel is a great idea. Keep the era alive and from the perspective of a guy who was just really glad to be there
More to come!
Def subscribed, looking forward to other cool vids on NHL life, puckheads like me eat this all up!!
Btw, 50 goals, 5 yrs & 250+ games played for 5 NHL teams, GWG’s & you scored a HAT TRICK, you’re living the NHL fans dream bro!
Great video, glad to see you on TH-cam! I always wondered what was puljujarvi like? Heard hes halarious. If you make another video id love to know! All the best
As a goalie myself i was laughing when you told that Smith story, although im not that guy that would be yelling at guys :) Nice concept, telling stories while walking, kinda makes it feel like having a real conversation while going somewhere! Greetings from Sweden
One of the coolest videos to show up in my recommended feed on TH-cam. Right on brotha
This was a very entertaining video. Well done.
I watched your dad's first game, I probably saw most of his Leaf games,
Just found your channel tonight after the Panthers clinched the eastern conference. Love that you played in the show and have stories to share. Subscribed
Welcome aboard! Thanks for support bro
Subscribed. It was awesome listening to your story. Congrats on making it to the big show and for having a pretty cool career brother. Appreciate the video!
This is great man, I'd love to see more NHL guys doing this.
I think Mike was a different guy by the time he rolled through Calgary and onto Edmonton. More relaxed. Glad you guys sorted it out!
I feel like I remember him from then Sault. Maybe I’m wrong. Played or lived here. I’m a music teacher in town, and work at Case’s. Loved the video, and the stories! Really cool channel! Keep this style, as it’s not typical and refreshingl!
That hat trick story is awesome. Love that you sealed the deal when you went back out there and got that third goal.
Thanks!!
As a hockey fan, it is so awesome to hear your experiences with different players! As fans, our perspective of players is based on what we see on the ice and occasionally what we read in articles so it's really cool to hear personal, human experiences from someone who has actually played with them rather than a journalist. Not just the players tho, I feel like I learned a bit about you as a person navigating and playing the NHL and meeting different people. Just awesome stuff man, hope life continues to bring you more awesome experiences no matter where they are 🙏
We see terrible intermission interviews (just stop those already, please), predictable post game interviews, and awkward commercials. Fans get impressions of players based on what we see on TV, and that doesn't do the whole person justice.
Great video. Love stories, specially nhl stories. Hope this takes off!!!
Perlini! I always thought you were a dark horse for the Wings. You had so much talent, dude. Hope you are thriving, my man. Cheers 🍻 😎
Thank you man! Appreciate that!!
Dude fellow Sault native here. It’s wild that this random video popped up on my feed at 2am. Loved watching you play in the O and following your career in the pros.
This got linked on the Blackhawks subreddit, so expect an influx of views. I'd love to see a series of these snippets of real NHLers, not the "gotta dig deep, find a way to score" intermission soundbites we get.
And as a Chicagoan, I'm stoked to see you still repping a piece of Chicago, Perls!
Forsure!! I’ll be back in Chi this summer!! Thanks for supporting the video! I got many more videos for everyone to come every week guys!!
@@Bubzp11 any cool stories about Leon Draisaitl or Kane?
You’ll always have a home here, glad to have you back
@@Goose178 hmmmm I’ll have to think. I can talk about Kaner I would say forsure. Drat I dont really have much
@@KiloOne thank you I appreciate that!!
very cool to listen!!! you made the NHL this is a life goal you should be proud brother 🙌🙌
Brendan,these are great stories,keep 'em coming!
Much respect!
Perlini, when you were with Edmonton, you were my favourite player, my family wasn’t a big fan of you except for me! Always held strong and cheered for you! You’re the goat!!!
former roadrunner stm when it was you and fisch lighting it up and i’m a chicago transplant in az so there was a good 4-5 years where i was watching all your shifts. wish you and your family all the best, appreciate the kindness in our few short interactions.
No problem thanks for tuning in and watching!
I worked up at the same camp Mike Smith trained at. He was never friendly at all. Andrew Raycroft, PK Subban, David Clarkson, Mike Cammalleri…nicest people you would ever meet. Smith wouldn’t say a word to us peasants.
Great talk. The thumbnail had me interested! Im not surprised these guys were first class people.
This is sick!! Dude I was rooting for you in Edmonton, loved watching you play!!
Love the inside info and done with a high level of respect. I'll never forget your presser in 21,22 about thinking positively. Turned the season around, IMO. Liked and Subscribed
I like this Maven style content but for hockey. Keep going
Interesting video, glad I watched it. I got to see you play while you were in Chitown. Always enjoyed watching you play. Rock on!
Would love to hear you on spittin chiclets! These stories were great. I’m sure there’s tons more since you played with all these legends
Great job man. This is dope. I'm a Panthers fan so I've kept an eye on you, Samoskevich, Asplund, Sourdif, Skoog, Mayhew, Knight, and Carlsson. I've been a Panther fan as long as I can remember. I watched Gretzky's play as a Ranger, fist bumps with the Bure brothers, and Worrell. You know we don't have many down to earth personalities in professional hockey. You get the same interview answers "We have to just keep moving the puck uhh stay hard on the forecheck uhh dig deep and play hard for 60 minutes" so getting to hear from guys like you, Biz, PK, and Weeksy that have amazing communication skills and story telling is dope as hell. Keep up the good work man!
I enjoyed the video. I moved to Phoenix in 1989. I was already a Sabres fan, but I loved watching the Coyotes play. Shane Doan was a particular favorite of mine, and thanks to the local media, I got to see his love for the local fans and community. It was great to hear about the other players as well. I'm going to subscribe to hear more about the inside of the NHL.
Brendan, thank you for this video! It just showed up on my feed, I'm glad it did. Great content. Above in the description you asked us to comment who our fav all time player is... Sounds so generic in a way to say it but it has to be Gretzky. I was 10 years old when the Oilers and Gretzky joined the league. Perfect timing for a kid that age. I was lucky to watch them growing up. The times for my team later on were a little dry so now I have a deeper appreciation for the game in general.
Cool video dude! Very chill and relaxed. I enjoyed it very much. Would be nice to have a similar video of you talking about your season in Europe and what did you like and dislike about that.
I'm a Condors and Oilers fan who cheered for the Hawks whenever the Oil didn't make the playoffs. It was interesting to hear all of these stories about my favorite teams and players. I look forward to hearing more of them.
Greetings from another Condors and Oilers fan, I got recommended this video and I wondered, “Why does this name sound familiar” and it hit me that this is the Brendan Perlini when he played for the Condors and Oilers in 2021-22
@@JonathanGaeta Yeah, for me it's a bit of a weird story because I was a Condors fan who didn't like any NHL teams until I visited Edmonton in 2012. Imagine my utter shock when my teams came together shortly after. It still seems strange to me because it's just so random.
I’m the opposite, hawks fan but oilers when the hawks don’t make playoffs
So happy I came across this channel. Definitely subscribing. Hooding to see you back in the NHL soon.
Great video man, love hearing insights and stories about the players in the league
Many more to come!!
can tell you look back so fondly at your time in chicago! So many incredible players weve been able to watch during that time and i cant help but selfishly feel like it shouldve been more than 3 cups. they were that damn good
Love the stories dude! Great vid. Good luck going forward !
Thank you man really appreciate it!!

Great insights on NHL life. Thanks!
This is great stuff. Thanks for doing this for the hockey family.
I’m a massive red wings fan and even I have a Shane Doan jersey. He was yzermanesque, the highest praise I can give
I'm a hockey fan, but honestly I never heard of this guy...I'm probably not that big a fan then. But this monologue with his stories and his humbleness and sincerity made me a fan. subscribed
Appreciate it
This is the thing about pro hockey players that I love, they fir the most part don't act/look like they have any sort of fame they act like a normal human that you'd go and chill with on a day to day basis. Love this content and I hit that sub button so im definetly here for more of this Perly!!!
So cool hearing about some of my favorite players when I was young. Would love to hear any good Kaner stories you got
