Tonight is a very special night for the Anaheim Ducks captain, Ryan Getzlaf. Never before has a player appeared in 1,000 games dressed as a Duck. Getzlaf will be the first, appearing in the franchise’s 2,000th game. As the face of the franchise, there is no player who deserves this honor more than our beloved captain.
After a rather difficult year for the entire team in 2018-19, there were a few questions surrounding the captain’s position with the Ducks. Would he remain the first-line center? Could he make a comeback after such a rough year?
