"There are a lot of healthy NHL players who'd like to play as well as Ryan Getzlaf did on Sunday night with his wobbly left ankle.
The Anaheim Ducks centre saw his first in-game action in six days on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers, scoring two goals -- including a beauty in the third period -- and adding a pair of assists in the Ducks' 7-3 win at Rexall Place.
His dominant performance boosted his season point total to 61 (17 goals, 44 assists) in 2009-10.
More important, for the time being at least, is that the Regina native still hopes to play with Team Canada at the Olympics in Vancouver, as it prepares for its opening game on Tuesday against Norway. Getzlaf said he'd rest Sunday night after arriving in Vancouver and see how his ankle reacted this morning before making a concrete decision with Canada executive director Steve Yzerman."
