Move Getzlaf
by Paul on 01/04/12 at 12:56 AM ET
Comments (10)
from Jeff Miller of the OC Register,
...So now, General Manager Bob Murray needs to make a real deal, a genuinely impactful one, a move that signals the start of reloading for next season because, let’s all admit it, this season is a goner.
He needs to trade ... Ryan Getzlaf.
That’s right. The team captain. The Olympic gold medalist. The former All-Star Game starter.
If there’s a deal out there that improves the Ducks significantly in one way, the damage done the other way by the loss of Getzlaf is worth it.
For whatever reason, this just isn’t working. It isn’t working for the Ducks, and it certainly isn’t working for Getzlaf.

Penalties Cost The Ducks Again

via Jeff Miller of the Ducks Blog at the OC Register,
Even if he weren’t the Ducks’ captain, the extra two minutes Ryan Getzlaf took in overtime Friday would have been dreadful enough.
But, as the team’s appointed leader, the unsportsmanlike penalty on Getzlaf was even more brutal.
“I was frustrated,” he said after Philadelphia used the extended power play to beat the Ducks, 4-3, in overtime. “It’s an emotional game out there. I definitely…it won’t happen again. That kind of stuff at the end of the game hurt our group tonight. You know, I’ll take that on me, and we’ll go forward from there.”

Ducks Can’t Allow Tootoo To Get In Their Heads
by Paul on 11/08/11 at 09:56 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Jeff Miller of the OC Register,
Ducks versus Predators will be the main event Wednesday at Honda Center, but Ryan Getzlaf versus Jordin Tootoo will highlight the undercard….
“The thing with Tootoo is he’s an aggressive player,” Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle said. “He’s going to go out on the ice and hit. You have to know where he’s at. But you don’t get into retaliation. He’s doing his job when he does that, when he draws you into those confrontations.”
When these teams met last month in Nashville, the Predators beat the Ducks, 3-0, and Tootoo thoroughly ticked off Getzlaf, who afterward said he was “sick” of Tootoo’s “embarrassing” habit of embellishing hits. Getzlaf said the NHL needs to “get guys like that off the ice.”
“I feel so strongly about it because I don’t do it,” Getzlaf said Tuesday. “I never have. You (could) never show me a tape of me diving anywhere, so that’s something I 100 percent can back up.”

“We keep talking about all this stuff and changing rules and head shots and all that kind of stuff. That’s not the stuff that’s hurting our game. It’s the lack of respect on the ice. I’m tired of watching Jordin Tootoo out there, a guy who runs around and hits and does everything else but the first little slash, he’s laying on the ice and he’s out the next shift.
“It’s embarrasssing and I’m sick of it. If they want to change the game and they want things to be better and they want more respect on the ice, get guys like that off the ice then. I’m sick of it.”

Strong Up the Middle

Comments (0)
In my last article on left wings, a few of you mentioned the positional dilemmas that we seem to face when drafting forwards. This is a great point, since not only do position eligibilities change from league to league (eg. Yahoo/ESPN/CBS), but also from year to year. As well, we also need to keep our eye on forwards with dual position eligibility.

Prepare For Ryan/Getzlaf Part 2

from Jeff Miller of the OC Register,
At the NHL awards show Wednesday in Las Vegas, Corey Perry is up for the highest individual honor — the Hart Memorial Trophy. Ray Emery is one of three finalists for the Masterton Trophy, given for perseverance and dedication.
And Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf will be there, too, providing some of the silliness between their teammates’ substance. For the second consecutive year, they will be the comic relief, two Ducks in search of yucks.
Forty-eight hours after their season was ended in the opening round of the playoffs, Getzlaf and Ryan returned to Honda Center to shoot a skit, a sequel to the U.S. vs. Canada bit they did last season.
That video also made its debut at the NHL awards show and then enjoyed a second run as an Internet sensation. In it, Getzlaf taunts Ryan about the Canadians beating the Americans for Olympic gold.
Though sworn to secrecy until the latest video premiers, Ryan does admit he seeks revenge in Episode 2.

Remembering the Moment
by Alanah McGinley on 03/19/11 at 07:56 PM ET
Comments (1)
Reflecting on the 2007 Stanley Cup win for the Ducks, Helene Elliotte at the LA Times ducks into a time capsule to remember Anaheim’s moment in the sun:
“That’s still to this day one of the most amazing feelings and tough to pinpoint exactly how you feel at that moment,” [Dustin Penner] said. “The whole season was a grind. You went through ups and downs the whole year and a lot of things had to line up for us to get to that point, but it was such a great feeling about relief and success and accomplishment and the pride everybody had for each other in that room.”
The feeling was similar for Perry.
“That was a special moment for all three of us. All the emotions running through your body, I don’t even know if you really knew what was going on. It happened so fast,” he said. “You dream your whole life that one day you’ll get to hold it up in the air, and we had that chance and we took it all in.”

Many have asked if I thought the Getzlaf hit on Hamhuis is suspendable. First, let me say I hate to see any player in distress like Hamhuis.
Next let me say NHL, IMO, wouldn’t even consider a suspension for hit like that. Should it, though? That can’t be answered in 140 characters
Reports are Hamhuis should be fine.

“You get it in the eye or below the eye, and you can end up with surgery and loss of vision. I was pretty fortunate and lucky to deal with what I did as opposed to what it could have been.”

Getzlaf Update & Lapierre Talks
by Paul on 12/31/10 at 06:31 PM ET
Comments (0)
via the Anaheim Ducks,
Ryan Getzlaf had another CT scan today and visited with a specialist (maxillofacial surgeon). The CT scan showed that the nasal sinus fractures are non-displaced and stable. However, more evaluation of the bone breaks are needed over the next several days before a definitive expected absence can be determined. For the time being, Getzlaf is out indefinitely.
via Helene Elliott of the Fabulous Forum,
Lapierre, 25, said he is excited about getting a new start with the Ducks after getting progressively less playing time with the Canadiens. He averaged 11:41 over 38 games this season, slightly down from 12:16 last season and a big drop from his average of 14:48 in 2008-09.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound native of St. Leonard said he didn’t ask out, though he did ask for clarification of his role under Coach Jacques Martin.
“We had a discussion. I didn’t really ask to be traded but I wanted to know where things were at for me,” he said. “I asked if I was part of their plans and they pretty much said no.

How’s Getzlaf?

Comments (2)
via Curtis Zupke of Ducks Blog,
Ryan Getzlaf’s facial injury sounded more severe than first thought given coach Randy Carlyle’s description of the Ducks captain.
Getzlaf took a puck to his forehead on Tuesday night against Phoenix and left the game. He was not at Honda Center as he was told to stay home and keep the swelling down after he needed 10 stitches to close the cut.
“There’s quite a gash there,” Carlyle said. “He had bleeding into his nasal cavity … and he felt nauseous at times because of the blood draining into his stomach.”
Carlyle said it was too early to determine when Getzlaf would be available “until we see a little bit more of him and where he’s at at the rink.”

Getzlaf Tries To Motivate The Ducks
by Paul on 12/22/10 at 09:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog,
Facing another big deficit following another poor first period on their long road trip, Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf was intent on sending a message to some sleepy teammates.
As soon as the puck dropped to open the second period, Getzlaf dropped his gloves to engage Buffalo center Cody McCormick in a fight that ultimately didn’t get him a decision.
And while the scuffle’s impact didn’t carry any immediacy in a 5-2 loss to the Sabres, the Ducks saw the moment as one that they hope will resonate.
“I think so,” Bobby Ryan said. “I think he’s trying to instill something through everybody. If he’s going to go out and set an example in that sense, the guys got to follow. Not by fighting but by carrying through in the physical play and doing other things like that.”

Captain Getzlaf

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has named Ryan Getzlaf team captain. Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne have been named alternate captains for the 2010-11 season. In addition, Corey Perry and Todd Marchant will serve as additional alternate captains when necessary.
“This is another step in the maturity process of Ryan Getzlaf,” said Head Coach Randy Carlyle. “We felt that with it being his sixth season in the league, now is the time for the transition and the veteran players agreed with us.”

Getzlaf Played With Partially Torn Ligament
by Paul on 04/13/10 at 03:22 PM ET
Comments (2)
from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog,
Not only was he hobbled by a badly sprained ankle but Getzlaf revealed that he was playing on a partially torn ligament between the tibia and fibula in his leg. It could be one reason why the center was limited to 66 games this season.
Getzlaf said that he suffered the injury on Feb. 8 when he got tangled up with the Kings’ Dustin Brown, which caused him to miss two games. After helping lead Canada to the Olympic gold medal, the center hurt it again on March 14 against San Jose and then was done for good when Vancouver’s Henrik Sedin fell on the ankle March 24.
“That was the initial injury,” said Getzlaf, who didn’t play the final nine games of the season. ”And then it kind of got better and things were moving the right way throughout the Olympics. And even the few games I returned to [afterward]. Obviously I aggravated it the one night here and then I aggravated it big time in Vancouver.”

Ducks Beat Sharks But Lose Selanne And Getzlaf
by Paul on 03/15/10 at 07:44 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Robyn Norwood of the LA Times,
It was a feel-good game until the third period, when two of the Ducks’ best players — Teemu Selanne and Ryan Getzlaf — left the ice with injuries within minutes of each other and didn’t return.
Selanne, who scored his 599th NHL goal earlier in the game and kept buzzing around the net for No. 600, slid hard into the boards after tripping on a stick on a scoring attempt with 18:16 left. After getting up very slowly — first to his hands and knees, then to one knee — he skated off unassisted and did not return.
A team official said Selanne was “shaken up” and suffered an upper-body injury.
Soon after Selanne was hurt, Getzlaf reinjured his left ankle, which he sprained before the Olympics. He later left the arena wearing a walking boot and is considered to be day-to-day.

Getzlaf Injures Ankle

via Robyn Norwood of the LA Times,
The Ducks ended the Kings’ streak, but the two points in the playoff race might have come at a high price.
Ryan Getzlaf, the team’s leading scorer, sprained his left ankle during the second period and left the arena wearing a boot and on crutches. X-rays were negative, but an MRI exam is scheduled for Tuesday.
“That will give us a better indication of the severity of the sprain,” Coach Randy Carlyle said.
“Hopefully, he won’t be out too long,” Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer said. “I don’t have to say what he means to this team, what he does for us. So hopefully it’s not bad.”
Niedermayer, also captain of Team Canada, said he hadn’t considered the potential impact on the Olympic team.
“I know he would love to play and wants to play, and we don’t really know how badly hurt he is right now. Hopefully he’s in our lineup in two nights. That would be good.”

from Eric Stephens of the OC Register,
Ryan Getzlaf suffered a cut on his right leg that required several stitches to fix. The injury is not believed to be serious but it could affect Getzlaf’s availability for Tuesday’s home game against Minnesota, though the center remains hopeful.
Getzlaf, their leading scorer with 41 points, said he cut himself with his other skate as he fell awkwardly to the ice.
“Obviously the main focus is the muscle and that everything’s OK there,’ he said. “Right now it’s just a deep cut. There’s definitely some healing to do but I think we’re talking days instead of weeks.”

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
I covered part of that Anaheim-Detroit series and came away wondering if Getzlaf wasn’t indeed the best center in the Western Conference, a tall statement considering his company (Pavel Datsyuk, Joe Thornton, Henrik Sedin and Jonathan Toews, among others).
His 91 points tied him for sixth in NHL scoring and Getzlaf wants to remain a member of that elite club.
“I hope so, that’s anybody’s goal,” Getzlaf said. “Once you’ve been there, you definitely want to be back. I think the team and the players I play with enables me to do that. That’s about accepting your role, as well. If I’m not up there, then I don’t think I’m doing my job properly. That’s definitely one thing I have to do every year and be consistent with it.”

Ducks Not Happy That Gaustad Wasn’t Suspended
by Paul on 02/27/09 at 10:23 AM ET
Comments (6)
from Dan Wood of Ducks Blog,
The fact that Sabres center Paul Gaustad avoided supplementary discipline from the NHL after delivering a controversial late-game hit that left center Ryan Getzlaf with a broken nose and facial cuts basically has the Ducks mad as hell and unwilling to take it anymore.
“I’m not happy,” Ducks general manager Bob Murray said after Gaustad was in Buffalo’s lineup for Thursday night’s 2-1, shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C. “If we’re going to be suspended for blows to the head, then they have to look at the other teams when our guys get hit. This just astounds me that Gaustad is not getting something for this, because that was on purpose and deliberate.”...
Colin Campbell, the NHL’s senior executive vice president of hockey operations, Murray said, “told me they looked at it and they didn’t feel it was worth anything. They felt he hit him with his helmet. I don’t care if he hits him with his helmet, his elbow. Whatever it is, we’re supposed to be protecting our players from hits to the head.”

Carlyle Not Happy With Hit On Getzlaf

via Dan Wood of Ducks Blog at the OC Register,
The Ducks were none too happy with a hit by Gaustad in the final 15 seconds that left center Ryan Getzlaf with a broken nose and a nasty facial cut.
“That’s one that’s going to be looked at very closely because Gaustad left his feet and hit him with a shoulder, blindsided him,” Carlyle said. “It may look like he (Gaustad) got hurt on it. Look at the replay. He’s in the air after he hits him (Getzlaf). So it was one of those that we’re going to have to take a look at.”
While Gaustad received no penalty, the NHL could choose to impose supplementary discipline.
Getzlaf, still bleeding and clutching a towel to his face long after the game ended, said he “was fine.”

In four games since he underwent unplanned dental treatment Oct. 21 in Toronto, Getzlaf has put up 10 points, including three goals. In six games before having a virus removed from his gum and missing a 3-2, shootout triumph over the Maple Leafs later that night,

Burke calls him the “big dog” and expects him to one day succeed Chris Pronger as captain. Many players have taken to calling Getzlaf, “The Franchise.”
There are those who believe that Getzlaf, with his size and vast array of skills, can join Crosby and Ovechkin in the ranks of superstardom. Both Burke and coach Randy Carlyle have said that Getzlaf “can be as good as he wants to be.”
“In the NHL, the challenge is to be able to play to that level day in and day out,” Carlyle said. “To practice to that high level day in and day out.
“He’s done everything we’ve asked. We’ve had very, very few valleys with Ryan Getzlaf. We’ve had some peaks and maybe he’s taken a step back every once in a while. All in all, you’ve got to be very satisfied and very happy with his progress.”

Advice From Someone Who’s Been There

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf contributes his thoughts on game #4 and the series in the LA Times:
Being in a similar situation that we faced with Ottawa when we were going home, Detroit gets to go back home and they’re going to be comfortable. The biggest thing is for them to take advantage of the situation they put themselves in. They can’t let it slip. If you let it slip, if you give Pittsburgh any kind of breathing room, you never know what might happen.
Pittsburgh has got to play with its back against the wall. It’s a big task. No one is going to kid themselves. They’ve got to take it one game at a time. That’s the truth. If you have to win three games, you’ve got to get one first.

From the AP via USA Today,
A California Highway Patrol captain has been placed on leave while authorities investigate whether he tampered with a speeding ticket issued to Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf.
Ken Rosenberg, whose office is decorated with Ducks memorabilia, is accused of removing the ticket filed by an officer who stopped Getzlaf March 14 after he was spotted driving about 84 mph on a toll road.
“We received information that this particular citation may have been improperly processed,” CHP Assistant Chief Steven Lykins said.
Citations are normally sent to court and processed within 10 days, but a copy of the ticket didn’t get to court until April 28 — 45 days after it was issued.

Getzlaf Gets Contract Extension from Ducks

From TSN,
The Anaheim Ducks and forward Ryan Getzlaf have agreed to terms on a multi-year contract extension.
Sources tell TSN that it is for a five-year term beyond this season and is worth in vicinity of $26.5 million.
added 12:52pm (Paul), from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The Ducks have always known the difference between the players that can make a difference in winning – and the ones that produce showy point totals, without actually contributing the way a core player needs to in order to justify his salary cost. The fact that Getzlaf is under contract for five more years after this one is just another step in the right direction for an organization that seems to know what it’s doing.
