eric nystrom

it would have been more of a coup to write this 3 hours ago when i walked past him at the airport, but eric nystrom was the callup to replace (you choose) david moss or wayne primeau. clearly mark smith will be shooting pucks at the game on monday night but nystrom was the chosen guy from the quad cities to fill the second open spot. i probably would have selected brandon prust or grant stevenson in his stead (both with significantly better stats), but clearly it is not my choice....

all i know about the guy is that he has an unfortunate bald spot, some serious facial hair growth, and only brought a second bag "cause it has a pillow in it"... total fluke due to me picking up my brother at the airport tonight....

anyhow. i didn't realize nystrom did much of anything in camp, or in the QC, to warrant the callup. but so be it.

tomi mäki would still have been my first choice. DVDG would have been my second...
