VIDEO: Corey Perry taken out by brutal hit from behind.

This one just looks so painful.

During the final minutes of the Friday night match up between the Anaheim Ducks and Colorado Avalanche, Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson laid out Anaheim forward Corey Perry with a rather brutal hit from behind alongside the boards.

As if Perry didn't have enough eating a brutal check between the numbers from Johnson, he then ends up slamming face first into the referee who had just hopped up onto the boards to provide the perfect landing spot for Perry's chin.

Here's the video.
