HolmstromScreens Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) well as my name suggests I am red wings fan but i hope you have a place for a female who's second fave team is the Habs? My name's Svetlana and I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. I will turn 30 on August 1. I was born in 1978. I attend university in St. John's where I study history and Russian Language and Literature. My favourite Habs are Koivu, Kovalev and Price. My fave red wings are Holmstrom, Cleary, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg. I became a hockey fan in spring 1991 my father is a habs fan and he was watching the pens win the stanley cup, I watched it with him, I became a nhl fan then and have been ever since. I chose the habs for a team I liked in 1992. I chose the wings in 1995 as my second fave team because the wings are my father's second fave team and he wouldnt stop talking about them lmao before 1995 i was like wings? Feh but after reading up on their history and wings contributions to hockey and to make the world a better place I chose them as my first fave team. Didn't choose them right away though I remained a habs fan for 16 years with habs as my first fave team It took me years to come to a decision some ppl say why take a decision like that its just hockey why should it be so serious but for my father and I hockey is a part of our lives. The wings have made revolutionary changes to hockey and the world (the creation of NHLPA and players rights) The Habs have won the most Stanley Cups and have impressed North America with their amazing on ice greatness. To me there are no two better teams than the red wings and the Habs ! Edited June 11, 2008 by HolmstromScreens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolmstromScreens Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks, Mark and Cali for your kind words tbh i didnt know what to expect joining a board of a team that isnt my favourite but this welcome is very sweet thank you ! and btw I'm glad someone else recognizes Holmstrom's talent and unique abilities that are useful I'm going to become your big fan ! No seriously haha always love to talk to fans of Tomas Holmstrom (who I just love to death) !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 well as my name suggests I am red wings fan but i hope you have a place for a female who's second fave team is the Habs? For me it's the other way around - I'm a Habs fan first and Red Wings fan second. 'Cause of that guy Lidström, you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolmstromScreens Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Welcome to the boards. Thanks, Tony. btw I like Lidstrom he's a great player and captain. He isnt one of my favorites though *ducks to avoid internet brick thrown by lidstrom fans* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm a huge Zetterberg fan myself, but I wouldn't mind having Holmstrom on Les Habs, he's exactly the kind of guy the team is missing. BTW, welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, welcome aboard! well maybe having a Holmstrom fan on your boards when you cant have Tomas himself on your team might be the next best thing p.s. Zetterberg rocks ! Loved him in that game when he killed off a long 5 on 3 penalties the wings had half of that by himself ! he was hero for his team that night, Im glad he got the Conn Smythe Trophy, OMG, ye just knew - I coulda jumped for joy when he did that, by gum, I could've - who do you think will get the Selke? Datsyuk or Zett? Personally i'd like for Datsyuk to get it. I personally favor Datsyuk a little tad more than Zetterberg. and I hope Datsyuk wins the Lady Byng he's up for. btw thanks for the welcome.

Psycing Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Datsyuk is pretty solid defensively, but with Zetterberg you've the complete package. I'd say Zetter gets the Selke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd welcome you but as an Avs fan, I'm officially barred from saying anything positive to a Wings fan. See, it's in the secret Avs rule book. My apologies, you seem like a nice enough person but I don't want to lose my Avs fan membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 First of all, they should rename the team and call them the "Sweden Red Wings". Give Datsyuk the Selke. Zetterberg (in Sweden we often call him Zäta; literally a spelling of the letter Z) won the Conn Smythe, Lidström stands a decent chance to win the Norris, I say give Pavel the Selke.

JoeLassister Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Welcome aboard. I'm a HUGE fan of Holmstrom ( I use to be a REALLY HUGE fan of Dino Cicarelli...). I tend to think that Guillaume Latendresse should take a summer class with Holmstrom as a teacher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all like Holmstrom it seems well maybe except for you avs fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think that Guillaume Latendresse should take a summer class with Holmstrom as a teacher... I think guillaume is that guy. he'll need to learn to take punishment in order to score goal. and if he doesn't want to do it, wyman and Pax will take his place.

I knew I forgot something. http://maps.google.ca/ -- Search for "123 Fake Street". It's the "B" result. Didn't take long to crack Jets code.
