a letter to Tomas Holmstrom...

dear Tomas:you have played 1,026 regular season games,have been the best in-front of net player,in NHL history,have absorbed hits to your ribs,and your knees are not what they were,in the past,but you are a player with character... you have said that you will play for the Red Wings,next season,or retire... i would love for you to play for the Red Wings,for,at least,one more year,but if you decide to retire,that is just fine,with this Red Wings' fan,but i really hope you have a great life,and simply do what your heart tells you,and if you play for the Red Wings,next season,i really hope you are really healthy,all season,because your health is most important than the beautiful game of hockey...
