10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 "I'm not playing tomorrow, and I'm doing more checkups tomorrow and just waiting for the doctor to clear me," Franzen said this afternoon. "I'm feeling good." Franzen also subbed in with second liners Valtteri Filppula and Dan Cleary during a few drills, but Franzen is under a "no contact" designation, so he isn't getting involved in physical play. My guess is Franzen will play Monday in Game 2. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article...055/1048/sports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taylorov 37 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Well that's from the horses, I mean, Mules mouth, so that should put an end to speculation? Good news still, but I had hoped they were playing head-games and he'd be playing Sat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I kind of figured, but better now than Games 3 & 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

up2here 41 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Im still hoping this is a ploy to screw with the Penguins and he's in the lineup for game 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 As expected. I hope to see him in game2 or 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 The Pens must have the Wings doctors on their payroll. But seriously, game 2 is better then him not playing at all. If we win game 1 and we get him back for game 2 that will be HUGE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
