one last thing..

is it weird that i like franzen's teeth?

...Yes. You're one sick little puppy, haha.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

Franzen is my boi.

Without him the game is 5-2? The f*** is that s***.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Glad for the W.

Sick of the D.

Hopefully this was just rust and we pick up the defense for the rest of the season.

I hesitate to say this, but it could hardly be any worse...just ask Howard.

We should have played Nashville tonight - it's 2/2 (2011).

[Vladifan 680]

Like I said, I'm thinking we win 7-6 in OT.

I'm impressed. In this case, "close" is good for a whole box of cigars.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

from 15th place in goals to top 5 in goals in 1 game. Datsyuk-Zetter-Franzen top line ftw!

Waiting for NHLN to show DiPi get 1-punched by Brent Johnson...

The one time the guy actually stops something...

Lemme know if it was a legit punch. All I've seen is a screencap that makes it look like Johnson just shot his elbow into DiPi's head.

Legit...

Howard with a .853 save percentage for the night...

VEZINA! VEZINA! VEZINA!

[BlueMonk 102]

[Konnan511 1,736]

So is it a Muletrick or a Franztrick?

[edicius 3,269]

Legit...

Yeah, once I saw the MSG+ feed via NHLN, I was like, "Okay, that was definitely a punch."

Howard with a .853 save percentage for the night...

VEZINA! VEZINA! VEZINA!

Oof, that's gonna hurt that .908 SV% on the season. Again.

Got a suggestion for an alternative right now?

[Yzermania 156]

Trick like a Mule.

[Vladifan 680]

One advantage of posting after a game...I got to look forward to how you'd put five o' them packin' mules on the post. DEFinitely looked forward to it!

[Barrie 900]

Great game Franz! Hopefully that moron who wrote that article saying we need to get a goon, and that Franzen is soft, is eating some crow.

Why was Neil on the ice with less than a minute? I think Coaches should be fined for sending out their no talent idiots in close games. It's a safety issue for opposing players, also it makes teams that are about to lose look like sore losers. There's no need for goons to be on the ice at that moment in a game.

[RedWingsRox 614]

Look out Crosby and Stamkos ... couple more night like this and we'll have the top scorer in the league

[jeff48109 474]

15 in 16 for Fil.

(86th of all forwards in scoring)

and people want to trade Fil and a 2nd round pick to get Fisher.

[wingnut40 176]

I'd just like to say I called it again. After Franzen scored his 3rd I was being all hyper and ridiculous and said, "Ok, now score 2 more!" Little did I know. Haha

[plopster 136]

So if he scores another goal in that game, would you get 2 orders of curly fries?

[titanium2 867]

It seems like Zetterberg didn't feel as if he could hit the net on Franzen's EN, which is probably why he passed it off.

[Sprsquirt7 45]

Was Zetterbergs streak of 2 shots in a game broken tonight? Yahoo only had him credited with 1.... i mean he was ahead by like 50 games on the next guy but still
