“As players get older, people say they are going to start slowing down. “But Homer isn’t going to go much slower. His game is he knows where to go....he still knows how to play the front of the net. I say he and Ryan Smyth are maybe the two best net front presence players in the game today.”
-Wings GM Ken Holland speaking about Tomas Holmstrom. More on Holmstrom from Kevin Allen of Mucking and Grinding.

When you’re talking about playing in front of the net, they don’t get any better than Holmstrom. I really like watching him frustrate the other team. I’d be willing to bet that he’s been the cause of 100 penalties in front of the net.

Now that’s just plain funny. Sounds like something Babcock would say, not Kenny.

Ryan Smyth is wildly-overrated for work in front of the net.

I disagree..
I am a big Homer fan,
but think Smith deserves more praise than he gets.
