hooon 1,089 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 When the hell did this happen exactly? I just re-watched last nights game, and Franzen is skating all the way to the end. Even after the game when all the players went over to congratulate ozzie, Mule was one of them, skating like normal. Doesnt an ACL tear basically mean you can't walk at all? Did it happen at a morning practice or what? I want answers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted October 9, 2009 It might be a very small tear but it's still a tear and they take loooong time to heal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArcticWing 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 It's a blow, but not the end of the world. There is still enough talent for three scoring lines. Filppula-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Leino-Zetterberg-Cleary Bertuzzi-Williams -Abdelkader Draper-Helm-Maltby/Eaves/May Get well Mule! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest micah Report post Posted October 9, 2009 No biggie if he can really be back to form in 4 months. This team is a playoff team with or without Franzen. I don't think we're a Cup contender without him, so I'm really hoping this ACL deal works itself out by March-ish. I'd be fine with Shanny - in fact I'd love to see Shanahan on the 3rd line until Fran comes back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Holiday 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 This man might help us if Holland convinces him to un-retire. I don't see why not. He'd probably pay Holland to play for a cup contender for once. Especially a cup contender filled with other SWEEEEDDEEESSSS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 I don't know much about the human body, but it sounds to me like it must've been the smallest of tears, and the staff thought it should be taken cared off asap before it tears worse. He probably felt the aggravation from it and played through it the rest of the game like any other player would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Please god... no. We have enough retread projects. Rather have Shanny with Datsyuk then Homer, at least with Shanny you know he's capable of scoring on more then a backhand, tip or tap in, which unfortunately seems to be all Homer can do anymore.

Radic 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 If you'd like Datsyuk to score 70 points this season put him on a line with Shanny and Homer. If you'd like to make the playoffs put Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Leino on a line. Datsyuk is being wasted on a line with Holmstrom. Adding another guy who never showed chemistry while they were together makes zero sense. Datsyuk doesn't even need elite goal scoring, just two guys that are willing to skate hard and have average passing ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Lebda will have to be moved for this to happen. Agreed. Although I will say I thought Meech looked pretty solid last night. I didn't notice him like I usually do Lebda and that's all you really can hope for a third pairing player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
