The club anticipates Holmstrom will need about six weeks to recover and has plenty of time to get ready for the start of training camp on Sept. 20. Holmstrom missed 13 of the last 14 regular season games with the injury, which he said bothered him throughout the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine how much that must have bothered him throughout the playoffs? My thoughts exactly. Then you add on those two disallowed goals -- can't imagine he was an especially happy camper this postseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
