Holmes became an instant celebrity after accidentally stumbling upon a Blues playoff game last season, offering hilarious commentary of the game from an outsider's perspective. But with a year of hockey fandom under his belt, he's far from an outsider now. In fact, he's become a loyal follower who regularly talks hockey on his podcast, "The Washed Chronicles."
So, almost a year after his T-shirt worthy tweets went viral, and in celebration of the most "lit" time of the year, we caught up with him to see how far he's come since becoming hockey's favorite fan.
BLUES: You discovered hockey during the playoffs last year, and you were pretty pumped about it. What's your excitement level for the playoffs this year?
HOLMES:It's even more exciting now because I went through the regular season. That build up makes it even better. And since I know more about the game it's giving me anxiety now! Like (Game 1)… I was so nervous! It's so exciting.
