Friends, teammates, linemates and now opponents, they meet on the ice once more Thursday in Tampa before Getzlaf retires at season’s end
TAMPA, Fla. — Together again. One final time.
Getzlaf plans to retire at season’s end, the last of his 17 Hall of Fame-worthy years with the Ducks. Perry has another season on his contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, his third team since former Ducks general manager Bob Murray bought out his contract in the summer of 2019. They were teamed together for their first training camp with the Ducks, began to create magic and mayhem as rookies in 2005-06, ignited a Stanley Cup championship run one season later, combined for too many goals to count and became part of the community fabric in Orange County.“Right from the start,” Perry said of clicking with Getzlaf. “When you’re together so often, you just create the friendship, the bond. As time goes on, you just become friends. You can talk about anything.
Getzlaf, a center, estimated he and Perry, a right wing, played on the same line together for 85% of their time together. Dustin Penner played on the left wing for several seasons and Bobby Ryan joined them a few years later, followed by Pat Maroon, Perry’s teammate now in Tampa Bay.Getzlaf and Perry earned the co-nickname of “The Twins.
