Tomas Holmstrom, the best net-front presence in the NHL over the past 15 seasons for the Detroit Red Wings, is expected to announce his retirement soon, now that the lockout is over.

Holmstrom, who turns 40 on Jan. 23, informed the club of his intentions a while ago. The team did not want to make an announcement during the work stoppage. It will hold a news conference at Joe Louis Arena, likely before the start of the season.

and with that, the last member of the 97-98 cup winning teams is officially gone.

Time flies

I was born and raised on that team as a kid.

Yet another part of me has died.

looking at the banner we have now, i'm offended that there are 2 basketballs and only 1 hockey puck in the picture.
