from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog at the OC Register,
The three forwards combined for four goals, seven points and a plus-8 rating in Sunday’s 5-4 Ducks win over the Kings in the preseason finale. None of those numbers count now but the club is hoping that those kind of nights will be a regular occurrence.
“You could say there’s pressure there for us to perform,” Perry said. “We’re just young kids trying to go there and play hard, play our game. We’re just trying to perform at our best.”
If that’s the case, it could put the Ducks’ line among the NHL’s elite. Already there are those in hockey circles who consider the big, strong threesome one of the league’s best following a season in which Getzlaf finished tied for sixth in scoring with 91 points, Perry had a team-leading 32 goals among his career-best 72 points and Ryan was a Calder Trophy finalist with 31 goals and 57 points despite not being a full-time member until the midseason.
All three say that kind of recognition is nice to hear but nothing more.
