Holmstrom Being Holmstrom

from Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star,
There’s apparently just no sanctuary from abuse for Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom.
Even in the Wings dressing room, the slashes and cross checks turn into verbal jabs as Holmstrom readied himself to join a photo shoot for an upcoming story for Men’s Health Magazine. “How did you get picked for that?” queried Kirk Maltby. “They must have been looking for someone to show what not to do.”
Holmstrom merely smiles. The veteran winger is doing a lot of that lately.
The 35-year-old Swede has scored in all five game this season and leads the NHL in scoring percentage by converting half of the 10 shots he’s taken. “I should shoot more,” Holmstrom said.

“You make sure from the beginning by being out the extra two feet.”
So, he is finally doing what Scotty Bowman told him to do 7 years ago.

“They have to look farther out through me.”
Now, that’s a classic Homerism. 
Instead of Hernia Zetterberg, Marion Hossa has joined Pavel Datsyuk and Holmstrom…
“Hernia” Zetterberg? Does Waddell know something we don’t about Hank’s “groin” injury?
Probably just a goof-up on his part...which isn’t surprising considering the sloppy way that whole article was written. But, then, maybe 20 minutes listening to Homer talk does that to people.

Not true. He scored twice in the Toronto game and failed to tally against Ottawa.[/nitpick]
