Anaheim Ducks forward Corey Perry has been known to do garbage things. So his cheap shot on Finland's Patrik Laine at the world hockey championships on Tuesday shouldn't come as a shocker.Perry, skating back to the Canadian bench, stuck out his left leg and clipped an unsuspecting Laine, who was shaken up as he skated off the ice. He remained in the game, popped some painkillers and deemed himself fine. Canadians should love this guy!TSN hockey analyst Ray Ferraro called it a 'garbage play.' Perry, Canada's captain, was taking a lot of heat, a Twitter search of 'Corey Perry' revealed.Perhaps the biggest thing Perry has to worry about is potential retribution from Laine's fellow countrymate Esa Tikkanen.

Finland will play Denmark in the quarterfinals, while Canada gets Sweden.Maybe I go and talk to Corey Perry
