No Need To Worry About Getzlaf. He's Ready to Play.

Evidently Ryan Getzlaf is ready to play in the Olympic Games. Jeff Carter can stay home.

When Canada opens the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Hockey Tournament, Getzlaf will be in the lineup after a remarkable performance on Sunday night.

Now, in case you missed it, Getzlaf injured his ankle last Monday, didn't play on Saturday in Calgary and there was a real concern that he might not be ready for the Games. Team Canada GM Steve Yzerman even called Philadelphia Flyers forward Jeff Carter and told him to be ready to play.

But on Sunday night in Edmonton, Getzlaf left no doubt he'd be ready to go. The big Anaheim Ducks rightwinger scored two third-period goals and dished out a pair of assists as his four-point night led the Ducks to a 7-3 road win over the lowly Oilers.

"In my mind, it's pretty made up," Getzlaf told nhl.com. "Obviously I would like to be there."

As he showed on Sunday night, if he's not there, there are bigger problems than a sore ankle.
