JOHAN FRANZEN RUMORS
Kerry Fraser says referees got non-calls right on Blackhawks’ goal and non-goal against Red Wings
Since the Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Kane scored the 2-1 goal (in the Red Wings' 3-1 victory last night) after Johan Franzen was boarded at the opposite end of the ice by Niklas Hjamarsson, but were denied another when Viktor Stalberg's shot and game-tying goal on Jimmy Howard was negated because the referees deemed Andrew Shaw to be interfering with Jimmy Howard'...

Johan Franzen fires ridiculous shot past Corey Crawford
In the third period with a 2-1 lead, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson made an amazing pass, identifying Franzen sneaking behind the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman. He put the pass right on Franzen’s tape and the Mule walked in and fired a gorgeous shot short-side high glove. Crawford was playing aggressive to cut down the angle because he knew Franzen has a phenomenal...
The Hossa-vs-Franzen debate, directly referenced, series-pertinent for the Hawks and Wings
I've not wanted to step into this minefield since the summer of 2009, but the Free Press's Helene St. James is a seasoned pro in navigating these sorts of things, so she went out and plainly stated that, for the Red Wings-Blackhawks series, anyway, Detroit needs Johan Franzen to match or eclipse the play of one Marian Hossa, and this is just a snippet from a much longer article...

And now Red Wings fans can worry about Franzen
If you missed it in the quick take, Red Wings forward Johan Franzen suffered some sort of injury ("undisclosed") during the Red Wings' 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings, and he's iffy for tomorrow's game against Nashville, as MLive's Ansar Khan reports:
Coach Mike Babcock and general manager Ken Holland said Franzen's status for Thursday's...
Johan Franzen scores from center ice on Miika Kiprusoff
The Detroit Red Wings are in danger of missing the NHL Playoffs for the first time since the 1989-1990 season. Losing 3-1 to the Calgary Flames, the Red Wings were in need of a break and with 2:42 left in the third period they got one. Johan Franzen dumped a weak backhand shot in from center ice and it skipped just far enough in front of Flames goalie Miika Kiprusoff that he...
Wings' Franzen leads the way in win over Avs
DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings are well aware of what Johan Franzen can mean to them when he's healthy.
Franzen, 6-3, 223 pounds, can be a difference-maker, especially in the playoffs, but the Wings need Franzen now more than ever if they want to reach the playoffs for the 22nd straight season.
