Ryan Getzlaf out to prove he's the top middle-man in Western Conference Final (Puck Daddy)

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Ryan Getzlaf  has ‘Messier-ified’ right in front of our eyes.

His jaw seems to protrude slightly more than it has in the past. His forehead looks more defined. His hair, as Alex Ovechkin pointed out, is now completely gone on top.

In fact, Getzlaf could maybe pass for Messier’s on-ice double if someone decides to make a film about the 1994 Rangers.

While the Ducks’ captain hasn’t had the same type of championship-like success as Messier, or an award named after him, he’s turned into a solid leader in his own right.
