BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 Well, as was said in the original thread...whatever doctor let that slip should lose his license. The report I heard at the time was that the source heard it from Franzen himself. Regardless, this was pretty serious and I'm glad it turned out okay for Mule.

HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) Subdural hematoma does not equal blood clot. More like, brain bleed. Technically, tearing of a vein that drains the brain. Whatever. It could have been from repeated hits to the head. Luckily it resolved well and he came back to play. It's not an uncommon injury in hockey players. Edit: Jonny you know me so well!

That was quick So basically a vein in his head got pissed off at the repeated hits and thought a nice hole in itself would set things straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 Wow, that could have been serious. Glad to hear he is okay. However, this is exactly why injuries should not be released during the playoffs. Repeated headblows could be dangerous ::gary roberts:: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmorland 16 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 I was waiting for this report. I kept telling everyone I knew that I was almost positive it wasn't a concussion because the report was that he was only suffering headaches and that he didn't have any other symptoms like dizziness, nausea, etc. Good to hear everything is alright. I figured it was if they let him come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kemosabi 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 And to think a couple Dallas goons were throwin punches at his head... No wonder Franzen showed a bit of his nasty side this post-season, swingin' back. MULE! MULE! MULE! Top contender for my next jersey. Stay long term, Johan. May the hot streak never die! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 I heard -- since Franzenstein is already created from spare body parts -- that they simply replaced his brain with a brain from a gorilla. This way they made him even more strong and fearless. For proof of this; see any of the Cup-celebration pictures of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Vlad Forever 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 if you all remember game 2 of the SCF where roberts and i forget whoelse were taking pot-shots at franzen's head in their frustrated, scoreless state! then babcock confirmed in this pre game presser for game 3 that the nhl came to talk to them today. he wouldn't say about what, specifically. one reporter asked if it was about the obstructions that therrier was whining about, and he said something to the efffect of 'no, i don't believe that was brought up'. my guess is that they were telling babs not to retalliate and let the refs handle the franzen situation, and i'm sure the pens got the 'no more blatant hits to franzen's head' speech at the same time. just a guess. but it would stand to reason that nobody took any cheap shots at franzen (that i saw) after that point. glad he's ok! and with cup now!
