WingsWingsWings 3 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Anyone from the Detroit or Calgary areas: Is there any news on Holmstrom? The CBC guys said he went to the Hospital last night just to get checked out. I hope he is alright........................ Because we need him to park himself in front of whatever goalie we face next!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 This seems to indicate that he's OK: "Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom went to the hospital for stitches to close a cut over his eye after getting high-sticked by Craig Conroy in the first overtime." Must've been a pretty deep gash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyoski 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Damn he's tough as nails! He wanted to just sit on the bench and get stitched up so he could try to get out there for that 4 minute power play. That's heart!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's heart!! I know, and we really needed him out there too, because after not scoring on that power play and then the Flames getting their power play i thought that was going to be it, but thankfully we had Dom in the net and he saved the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's heart!! That totally made me laugh when I saw that. Here he is bleeding, clearly from a deep cut and all he wants to do is get back on the ice. There's a hockey player for you.

Yzermania19 1 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 I just read on MLive's message boards that according to an interview with Babcock on WDFN, Homer did indeed get clipped in the eye, as well as his eyelid. There is bleeding in his eye and there was added pressure, which could have been very dangerous but apparently there has been a big improvement in the condition of the eye from last night. He was cleared to fly home with the team so the pressure couldn't have been too bad. The blood in his eye needs to clear up before he can play but officially he is listed as day to day.

Quadnational 3 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 According to Kenny Holland on Detroit Sports Radio, looks like it is indeed an eye injury for Homer. Day-to-day. He has blood on the eye and they're waiting to see how he goes in the next 48 hours.... right now it's swollen shut. Click on the Ken Holland podcast: http://www.1270sports.com/ Not good news, the Wings need Homer to screen the goalie and get those "garbage" goals. He's probably the MVP of the playoffs over the long term. Bert and Kyle may have to take his place as best they can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
