Eric Nystrom knew what he wanted to do when his playing career was over.

“I told Red Berenson that I wanted to replace him and coach Michigan hockey for 30 years,†Nystrom laughs on Tuesday. “He said, ‘Take a number, there’s a long list.’â€

After nine seasons and 593 NHL games, Nystrom is eyeing that next phase. Father Bob, who won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders, made it an early priority.

I always really like Nyzerman. Best of luck to him in retirement.

Always loved Nystrom, even after that weird night where he scored four goals vs us.

Best of luck to him.

Me too, his performance in the playoffs '09 was just fantastic.

Yeah, when I think of Nyzerman, the first thing I think of is the 2009 playoffs, followed by his 4 goal game haha

I really only have fond memories of the four goal game, but even that's secondary to this:

Love Nystrom, always have. I was really sad when he left us but never blamed him. Guys like that can make a certain amount of money and who could blame him for taking a little extra. All the best to him and his family.

I'll miss him. Liked him enough to have one of those nice glossy photo's of him on my wall of Flames gear back in Uni.
