Franzen has the potential to be a good power forward if only he could fight.  Either his game consists of sniping/floating from the outside which has not been effective the past few years or spending more time in front of the net and mixing it up.  And by mixing it up I do not mean all the face washes he gives while being held in the arms of the referee.  The way the game is officiated right now, he is going to get mauled every time he approaches the net and the only way to stop guys taking liberties is to drop the gloves and defend himself properly, not this after the whistle crap.  This is the definition of the soft Euro tag.

 

I'm not sure what else he can do - it is apparent to me that he is trying and is engaged, he is just getting mugged in front of the net.  I do not recall Shanny or even Bertuzzi (in his prime) taking that kind of abuse.

 

Is the Kronk gym still open?

 

 

 

 

Have not seen any mention of realignment in the new CBA - has anyone heard anything?  I did hear somewhere that the shortened season would be conference play only and if so, Winnipeg will be spending a lot of time on the East coast.

Announced yesterday he will play for the new Denver Cutthroats CHL team this winter. They are an affiliate of the Avs.

They will play at the old Denver Coliseum where I used to take my kids to see the circus. Really old, small and in bad shape.  Cheap seats are $15 so I might take the boys to some games.
