Get Well Soon Mule!

oh no, does he have the flu, too?

[timothy1997 0]

at this point, he can be out for game 5 as well, making him only available in a game 6 if needed.

I would assume rest him up as much as we can.

[redwinger4747 6]

No worries here. Another day and still no news on his condition. If there was something serious, they would have found it by now. This can only mean they haven't found anything to report. He'll be back by game 1 SCF.

Johan Franzen won't play in Game 4 of the Western Conference final. When he returns to the ice is still unknown.

THe NHL's leading goal-scorer in the playoffs had tests, Monday, because of concussion-like symptoms ... headaches. General manager Ken Holland said that the tests found nothing that needed treatment.

But Franzen's headaches persist, so he'll have to rest until they subside. He's not able to work on conditioning (bike, etc) right now.

THAT is absolutely amazing news!

hopefully he'll get well soon!

I agree though that rest might be what he needs......I am a firm believer that just being able to spend a few days being "lazy" and just relaxing can work wonders for your health....I can't tell you how many time's I've been run down while sick and how much just being able to relax and get some sleep has helped me improve......hopefully we can take care of business again tomorrow night and the entire team can get some rest along with the Mule!

[StevieY9802 6]

Yeah I already figured the other day he wasn't in for game 4. I hope he can be back for the finals.

That's huge! I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he just had allergies and/or a sinus infection. Those can lead to headaches every single day, without showing up on certain tests.

Great news, nonetheless.

After reading these thread i was thinking i was getting a blood clot... but alas it's snot

[Ontario Wingsfan 0]

Sucks to see him out after the way he was playing but his health is more important and hopefully whatever it is that's troubling him will come to an end soon.

See you in the Finals Mule

[Gizmo 21]

Sounds like a good plan... Give the guy some rest. He's earned it.

[Opie 308]

So is this a similar thing to what just happen to Ben Wallace, dizziness headaches related to cold/flu/allergies??????

[Lollipop 8]

So amazing to hear that it isn't a clot! (Or I guess at least they aren't calling it one!) I hope Franzenstein gets better soon...even though our top line is playing out of their minds, it would be so nice to have some Mule action!

[StevieY9802 6]

He's starting to fall behind in Conn Smythe voting now though. Osgood is #1 for me now and Dats & Hank are tied for 2nd.

Guess we dont need this:

You gotta wonder though if the coaching staff is just keeping him out as a precaution given the WCF's current standing even though it could be something as minor as a sinus infection. I know how that can make your head feel as I've dealt with it in the past, but it sure seems excessive unless he's really struggling with the headaches.

Like I said though, its probably just a matter of not needing him right now given that the Wings hold the 3-0 lead more than him not being able to play.
