Sometimes it's hard not to get romantic about the game we love so much. This is in fact one of those emotional, bigger than the game moments that we sometimes hear about. The Anaheim Ducks were in Tampa Bay last night to face off against the two time defending Stanley Cup Champions.
To start the evening, Lightning center, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare stepped aside and let winger Perry take the opening faceoff against his good friend.
Things really got emotional after the game, when the Tampa Bay Lightning players showed their respect to Getzlaf. Afterwards, Perry and Getzlaf would embrace at center ice in an emotional goodbye.
