Is Franzen done for the year? Forever?

[chances14]

I remember getting a lot of flak earlier in the year saying that Franzen was done and should go to LTIR for his own well being. For some reason, people didn't take to well to that opinion

Well, look who was correct after all

i don't recall many saying that. We all knew he was just one hit away from retirement

still can't believe he was actually cleared to come back in the first place

Yeah I'm pretty sure we were all shocked he got cleared.

For selfish reasons though, I was very glad to see him back while it lasted.

Love his Instagram account. It seems that he's making the most of being sidelined. Cracking lineup/ref jokes, spending time with his kids etc

Franzen needs to be given the official Red Wings Twitter account.

He got my vote.

100% done for the year. His career is too early to tell but it's looking that way as well.

I'd love to see the official drw twitter account post images of refs with their heads up their *****

Nothing against Franzen, but he needs to just call it quits and be done with it, better for his health in the long term, as well as we can use his money elsewhere I'm sure.

By the sound of things, I'm pretty sure that's where he's heading. He's still got a lot of life to live and he needs to be around for his kids. Concussions are nothing to mess around with.

Maybe he already has and is just hanging around for the money and workout?

I'm sure you're very happy about being "right".

We all knew his career was probably over the next time he got hit or got concussion symptoms. Some of us just thought he had a right to attempt a comeback if that's what he wanted to do. A lot of the posters who didn't want him to return made comments that gave the vibe they were less concerned with his health and more with getting some prospect on the roster instead.

Should have kept Hossa. 08 was when his concussion stuff started anyways. It sucks health has to be a factor but if we kept Hossa instead I bet we win another cup along the way.

 

[Henkka]

Of course. Keeping Hossa would have quaranteed all Cups from 2010 to 2016 for us.

When people realize we couldn't have added other players if we had hossas contract

When people realize Hossa is a person with his own free will and decided for himself that he wanted to go to Chicago.
