Anaheim is no longer a two-man show, so let’s give credit where credit is due!
Let’s get this out of the way: Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf are the two biggest reasons why the Anaheim Ducks are 8-1 in the postseason and getting ready to clash with the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Finals.
And water is wet, oxygen is good for us, and the NFL has a problem with its balls.
Tell us something we don’t already know!
Perry (15 pts.) and Getzlaf (12 pts.) currently sit in first- and fourth-place when it comes to points scored in the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, with Perry having scored the second-most goals (7) in the postseason, and Getzlaf leading all players in assists (10).
If Anaheim’s two best players continue to play at such a high level, the Ducks will be able to give the Blackhawks a hell of a fight – but the reason why the Ducks are a legitimate Stanley Cup contender goes above and beyond the play of just these two guys.
We here at Pucks of a Feather want to spread the love around, so let’s look at a few players who have helped Anaheim make it this far, and see which one of them you award our first annual MVP Not Named Perry or Getzlaf award!
Next: Cogliano for President!
