tomas holmstrom Stories - Winging It In Motown
From the Chicago Daily Herald (possibly fictitious newspaper?): Bowman reveals Yoda-like wisdom on crashing the net
It was Bowman, while coaching in Detroit, who made Red Wings left wing Tomas Holmstrom the best in the game at screening goalies and causing havoc in front of the net. "That's why Holmstrom is so effective - he stands outside the line," Bowman said. "When I was in Detroit we had a lot of goals...
Still Over .500
I'm not going to say the Los Angeles Kings deserved the two points against the New York Rangers nor the Detroit Red Wings. In the first game of the back-to-back, the Kings played well but the Rangers were able to get their heads together and finish the game in their favor. In the second game, the...

Head coach...
Holmstrom seen limping from arena
After a 3-2 loss against Pittsburgh last night, the Wings have another concern to add to the list. Forward Tomas Holmstrom left the game with just over six minutes remaining after a Hal Gill cross check (update: trip) and did not return. He was seen limping as he exited Mellon Arena. Despite this,...
