ANAHEIM -- Ryan Getzlaf has embraced the big stage since early in his professional career.
He won the Stanley Cup at 22 as the Anaheim Ducks' second-line center in 2007. He helped Canada win gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and successfully defend it in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
But there has been a lull in Stanley Cup Playoffs success, and how he responds in Game 7 of the Western Conference Final on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVA Sports) will be the latest chapter of his legacy and that of Anaheim's other cornerstone players.
