Gio to Play For Canada at Worlds, Nystrom Played Through Injury
Some interesting sound bytes came out of the Flames' dressing room on garbage bag day. One of them being that Mark Giordano will play for Canada at the World Championships (no word on Bourque yet, but he said he'd be thrilled to go if asked) and the other being that Eric Nystrom suffered a groin injury in October and wasn't healthy until after the Olympic break, explaining his good play early in the season, after the break, and the 43-game goalless drought in between. He said he'd like to be back next season but "it's a two way street" and that he hasn't engaged in any contract negotiations as of yet. Same goes for Chris Higgins and Ian White.
