Anyone else get goosebumps when Perry randomly came on, love those two.
He had Perry become a breakout scorer and became reliant on him finishingI was re-watching the 2007 SC finals. Getzlaf shot the puck a lot more back then. What happened?

and when Getzlaf did shoot, Perry was an underrated playmaker who could set him up.He had Perry become a breakout scorer and became reliant on him finishing
did bertuzzi tell him to pass more? i try to forget that POS's time with the ducksTodd bertuzzi
Bertuzzi introduced a style of play that was all flash and no substance in his one year here, and it seemed to influence the kids on the team.What am I missing here ?
Going to miss prime beast mode Getzlaf
but will always remember him not showing up when it truly mattered
and the rest of those teams while I’m at it
Point per game in over 100+ playoff games is definitely "showing up".Going to miss prime beast mode Getzlaf

Getzlaf was never the main reason the ducks didn’t get it done from 2010-2017. The main reasons:
1) coaching
2) Lack of a dominant defenseman
3) goaltending at times let us down
4) Perry(was the bigger culprit)

I didn’t call him the biggest culprit, I called him the 4th biggest culprit (reason). Which to me is fair. I have defended him a lot but he was making elite forward money for a lot of those playoff runs and the expectation was more than just being pretty good. We needed him to be a dominant goal scorer consistentlyperry? he disappeared in the '13 series against detroit and '16 against nashville
but aside from that, he was pretty good in the playoffs. i wouldn't call him the biggest culprit.
11 pts in 13 games in '14
18 pts in 16 games in '15
11 pts in 17 games in '17
how do you blame one player for how they completely shit the bed right out of the gate in both the 2014 and 2015 game 7s? if anything, that's just a case of the team not being mentally prepared
This was from a “why is Toews considered clutch when Getzlaf has better numbers” question in 2016. It’s not just a couple Game 7’s, it’s pretty much every elimination game he’s a no show over that span. Win OR lose.perry? he disappeared in the '13 series against detroit and '16 against nashville

It's because Toews may be a no-show at the start of series, but he comes through at the end of series and closes them out. Look at his production in elimination games (either to close out a team or to not be eliminated), and his record in elimination games. He's the very definition of clutch. His last 4 years: 6G, 15A, 21P, +6 (16 games)
St. Louis 3A, -1 (2 games)
Tampa Bay 0p, even (1 game)
Anaheim 2G, +3 (2 games)
Minnesota 2A, even (1 game)
Nashville 1G 2A, +1 (1 game)
LA 1G, 1A, -1(2 games)
Minnesota 0P, even (1 game)
St. Louis 1G, +1 (1 game)
Boston 1G, 1A, +1 (1 game)
LA 2A, +2 (1 game)
Detroit 2A, -1 (2 games)
Minnesota 2A, +1 (1 game)
Now look at Getzlaf's production in elimination games. It's really the opposite of clutch. He disappears at the end of series.
Nashville 0P, -1 (2 games)
Chicago 1A, -4(2 games)
Calgary 0P, even (1 game)
Winnipeg 0P, even (1 game)
LA 1A, -3 (2 games)
Dallas 0P, even (1 game)
Detroit 1A, -1 (2 games)
It isn't just 4 or 5 games. There are 11 elimination games in the last 4 years alone. Here's what Getzlaf has managed : 11 GP, 0G, 3A, 3P, -9. Compared to 16 GP 6G,15A, 21P, +6.
Why are we assigning different levels of importance to games in a series? They all count the same, the subtext given to later games is just a psychological narrative.This was from a “why is Toews considered clutch when Getzlaf has better numbers” question in 2016. It’s not just a couple Game 7’s, it’s pretty much every elimination game he’s a no show over that span. Win OR lose.
