Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry — The ‘twins’ take a final spin together after the dinner check sits on the table
New York TimesTAMPA, Fla. – Just a minute into the warmup skate Thursday, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry gathered near the benches at center ice and posed for a quick photo together. Finally, I said, ‘I got to go home.’” For the 60-plus minutes that Ducks faithful got to soak in Getzlaf and Perry sharing the same ice for the final time, they were treated to seeing the two do what they’ve done for those 17 years since they broke in as fresh-faced feisty rookies in 2005. And it’s pretty special the chemistry in what they had together as teammates but even to see them apart and doing their thing is still fun to watch.” Perry was eager to see Getzlaf again. It was nice to get out there with those guys again.” Recently, Ducks coach Dallas Eakins brought up famed Welsh poet Dylan Thomas in referencing how Getzlaf isn’t going gently into that good night. I was the beneficiary on a lot of those.” Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf after Thursday’s game.
