from the Windsor Star,
Almost immediately, coach Scotty Bowman recognized what Holmstrom’s ticket to success in the league was going to be.
“When I got over here Scotty told me never to leave the front of the net,” said Holmstrom, who has 20 goals and 36 points in 44 games. “He said. ‘Don’t even go into the corner, just stay in front.’
“I don’t mind it (playing in front); sooner or later the puck is going to come to the front of the net because that’s where everything happens.”

There are indeed a lot of times where I wish Holmstrom would just lose his marbles and crack some faces but would hold back only to score a goal that’s a million times more hurtful to the opponents that any slash, fight, or cross-check could ever inflict.
he did; remember the 6-3 defeat to the Quacks start or the season…
i like him how he is
