Detroit — Ken Holland is excited to be back in the NHL playoffs — although this time it’s a different time of year, it’ll have a different feel, and under strange conditions.
And it's with a different team, as the long time Red Wings’ general manager is now the GM of the Edmonton Oilers.
Holland has the Oilers in the playoffs in his first season in western Canada, with Edmonton opening its best-of-five play-in round series Aug. 1 against Chicago.
“I’m excited to be involved, to have my team involved,” Holland said, while watching his Oilers go through a morning skate.
