Happy Birthday, Tomas Holmstrom! Here's to the man who made a career out of standing fearlessly in front of angry goalies and flying pucks. Your legendary ability to screen netminders was so effective that even your shadow probably annoyed them. Four Stanley Cups later—especially that sweet 2008 victory with Detroit—you've proven there's no better pest than you!May your birthday be filled with fewer bruises than your playing days, and may every cake slice find its way past any goalie-like obstacles straight onto your plate. Keep screening life's troubles away just like you did on ice—relentlessly awesome!
