Confirmed by current NBC Sports Chicago broadcaster John Scott that Corey Perry «made a mistake in Columbus one night, drank too much and made a pass at a staff member who worked at NBC». If that's all Perry did then it's not a big deal and nobody should be concerned

In a post on X, John Scott admits he made a false and misleading statement regarding Corey Perry. He says that his remarks were not based on facts as he had presented them previously.
On my podcast this week I made a false and misleading statement regarding former Blackhawk Corey Perry. It was an off-the-cuff remark that is completely unfounded and not true. It was a poor choice of words and I'll try to be more careful in the future.
This admission of deceit by Scott has left him as an unreliable source going forward. His podcast has a large following in the hockey community that will now have to question things that Scott says if they are not backed by facts.
