My T&R

It could only happen to Tomas Holmstrom. Holmstrom joined a few of his Red Wings teammates Friday for the first time this week at an informal skate at the City Sports Center. And, sure enough, he was parked in his familiar place in front of the net when a puck deflected off goalie Chris Osgood right into Holmstrom's face. Welcome back, Homer. Exactly," Holmstrom said. "I got it in the chin." There was a little blood, nothing serious. More importantly, Holmstrom reported his recovery from hernia surgery shortly after winning the Stanley Cup in June has gone well. "I think I'm going to be good for camp," he said.

This was such big news that they had to post it? What's next? Jon Kitna will trip over his own foot and there won't be any blood or injury, yet they will post it here anyway?

That's probably not the first time he's taken a shot to the chin:)

T&R must be getting ready for the season coming up. This is just their preseason reporting.

too bad the whole team can't take it on the chin this year...I'd love to see somebody else on ESPN besides the Dread Wings.

I'd love to see any team on ESPN. Unfortunately, they don't have a contract with the NHL and we're stuck with Versus.

This is the ONLY T&R NHL story that made the cut today. Can you imagine how bad stories number 2 and number 3 are?

No League is more boring during the offseason than the NHL!

The other stories went something like this:

Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin Mats Sundin.

Wait nevermind, T&R would've posted those.

yeah, Sundin must have stayed in bed today, so FN had to come up with SOMETHING to entertain us.

You mean his chin got hit by the rebound, not his kiester? Did they give his chin a penalty for being in the powder blue zone?

@Miguel#94 - Howdy. Don't tell me that you are tired of Sundin stories that don't say anything? Why that's the bread and butter of SI/FN.
