Eric Nystrom retires from pro hockey

[Reggie Dunlop]

He always struck me as someone who would move into management once his player days were over. Even when he was in university, he'd track the progress of other Flames prospects.

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

Nystrom's career was 9 seasons long. Goes to show just how long these recent 8 year contracts really are.

I also a Nystrom jersey (retro). Now that the retros are back, could theoretically get it changed to Monahan...

The Prustrom line was one of my favorite ever.

All of these former Flames are retiring all of a sudden.

Maybe not so retired?

Signed with a Norway team today, same team he played with during the 12/13 lockout

Good for him. He's still a relatively young man and if he doesn't have anything heavy on his plate for retirement he may as well continue to play for the love of the game.

[Hack&Lube]

Gross he signed with the Oilers!

What's worse, the real Oilers or foreign Oilers?

[Lil Pedro]

Fav Nystrom memory was when he scored that game winner in game 4 against the Blackhawks in the playoffs for us....I think that was Keenan's first year.

I've never seen a better website in my entire life.

"Oilers.No."

Cant make this stuff up.
