Franzen given the green light to work out

[selkie 10]

How long do you think it takes a professional athlete to get back in shape after doing no exercises of any kind for about a week or however long it's been?

Logically, would he be back in time and in good form for the Finals next Thursday or Friday?

In terms of pure physical conditioning, the most important thing is what you were doing six months ago. The second most important thing is what you were doing six weeks ago. The least important thing is what you were doing six days ago. The rest can actually be something of a help ala the runner's or swimmer's taper.

What you do lose a bit is timing and reflex reaction when you're out long enough to lose what had been some good rhythm in a skill-based sports activity.

Yeah, perhaps. However, I do remember them saying something about issues with PIT but not so much with DET. That being said, I would assume they've figured out a schedule so whether its a sweep or a 7 game series that it can work within Mellon Arena's schedule.

Here I got some insider information for ya.

Here are TENTATIVE schedules for the Stanley Cup Finals based on when the Conf Finals end

Both Conf Finals Series Sweep

Game 1 – 5/20 (Tuesday)

Game 2 – 5/22 (Thursday)

Game 3 – 5/24

Game 4 – 5/26

Game 5 – 5/28 (Wednesday)

Game 6 – 5/31

Game 7 – 6/2 (Tuesday)

Both Conf Finals go to game 5 (potential if one series goes game 5)

Game 1 – 5/22 (Thursday)

Game 2 – 5/24 (Saturday) Memorial Day Weekend

Game 3 – 5/26

Game 4 – 5/28

Game 5 – 5/31 (Saturday)

Game 3 – 5/28

Game 4 – 5/31

Game 5 – 6/2 (Monday)

Game 6 – 6/4

it'd be insane to have the playoffs potentially done in may!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!THE WATERS PARTED AND THE LIGHT SHOWN!!!!!

Good for Franzen, too. I hope this doesn't become a nagging problem, like a wife, for example.

Thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking, where do you get this "insider information" from?

[StevieY9802 6]

I know someone, who is dating someone, that works for a company that will be doing some of the Cup Merchandise. It's legit trust me.

Alright, well thanks.

[StevieY9802 6]

Alright, well thanks.

No problem. I don't want to say the company name just in case this isn't supposed to get out. This person has also seen the said merchandise with the Wings logo on it and says it looks very cool. I'm psyched that most likely I won't have to miss a game 7 for my concert on the 9th. It would be a miracle for both conference finals to go 7.

Sidenote: Sorry, but no concert in the world would keep me from watching *my* team play Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

I saw this over at a Pearl Jam forum i check every so often in their NHL thread. Great story if true!

So I walk into my local golf store today, and who do I see picking up golf gear....?

Johan Franzen!

Very nice guy. I was actually wearing a Wings T-shirt so he thought that was pretty cool. They had just announced on the Radio that he had been cleared to resume off-ice workouts. When I told him that he broke into a big grin and said he had missed the team Doctor's conference call and that when I told him it was the first time he'd heard he could start working out again. Super nice guy. I'll post a pic of it later....

Why the hell would Franzen be picking up golf gear?

[AusWing13 0]

Why the hell would Franzen be picking up golf gear?

In his concussion affected state he thought he was Happy Gilmore.

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

Rumor is that Franzen's injury is being faked so that he can audition with Pearl Jam in the meantime.

Isnt picking up golf gear a symptom of a blood clot?

[FinWing 26]

Isnt picking up golf gear a symptom of a blood clot?

Nah, it's a symptom of the Avs syndrome.

[up2here 41]

Nah, it's a symptom of the Avs syndrome.

Then I should probably throw away my LGW Medical Dictionary.

[VM1138 1,921]

Franzen picking up golf gear? Let's hope that's not a sign!
