Is it me or was his Swenglish considerably better?  Evil, evil Homer.

Uh.....one question from the press? Really? 1000+ games and you only have one question? Sheesh!

This won't work on my work computer, would someone be able to post a link to a video afterward?

[RedWingsDad]

I was browsing youtube for Holmstrom videos and came across this. Pretty awesome, don't think I’ve seen him thrown some dudes down like that before.

 

 

Edit: Come to think, I must have watched this game and just forgot... somehow.

 

Homer will be missed!

That was easily the best English I've heard Homer speak.  I'd argue that was even better than Z's was at his Captain's presser...

 

Reminds me of the old Abel to Yzerman classic of how a one-on-one contract discussion between Homer and Zetterberg would go...

 

Homer: “You signing renewing and using ink for a name with paper?”

Zetterberg: “Jesus, Homer”.

I mentioned this when we thought he retired 2 weeks ago, I'm proud to have Holmstrom on one of my Wings jerseys and wearing it to games, I have an Yzerman and Shanahan too. Despite Yzerman being my all-time favorite player, the Holmstrom jersey is my favorite (figure that one out ).

 

Holmstrom symbolizes what America and Canada were founded out, hard work can make you a success.

 

Edit: I'll miss you man.

Thanks for giving it 110% every night and making yourself a better door than window!

[Hockeymom1960]

This team will certainly miss him dearly, trust me.

 

I sure hope he swings by Mickey and Ken tonight during the game.

Thought I saw somewhere that Homer & the family were going to stay in the Detroit area once he's retired.  I'm hoping he takes over Murph's job between the benches on FSD broadcasts.

 

I was seeing him quite often around town in the fall, so hopefully he does stick around.  Right now, he's probably heading up north to use that nice new snowmobile he got last February.

 

I will really miss #96 on the ice, on TV, and at training camp.  It's sad seeing this era of Wings' history come to an end.  All the best to Homer!

[Dominator2005]

I will miss Homer... kinda emotional right now...

[Electrophile]

Homer certainly was a character, and his presence will be missed.  Both on the ice and in the locker room.  Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

[Hey man nice shot!]

Thank you homer for all the good years, and also ty for growing a beard and sticking with it, because you ass is scary without one:D

[Dabura]

Dearest Tomas, I salute thee.

[frankgrimes]

I will his him, his swenglish one of the best to ever screen the goalie enjoy your skiing, golfing and playing Tennis with Nick god knows you both deserve it so much. The fans are going to miss you a lot.

Last one from a great era gone, kinda sad to see.

[Hockeytown0001]

Walked right by him in the concourse before the game. Really wishing he was out on the ice.
