John Scott to beat the crap out of Bertuzzi, anyone?



--------------------------------------------------------------------------



Likely no Franzen after a dirty knee on knee hit by Brooks Orpik last night

Red Wings power forward Johan Franzen left the game with 1:43 remaining in the first period after sustaining a leg injury on a hit by Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik. Orpik was given a major penalty for kneeing. Franzen missed 55 games last season because of a knee injury.



"We think more of his thigh, but we'll get him checked out," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We hope he'd going to be fine."

Who says preseason doesn't count. Dumbass hits like this certainly get my attention.

The game wasn't televised so there's no replay but from what I hear, Orpik targetted Franzen's knee that was hurt last year which caused him to miss 55 games. What a dirty POS.

I may have to miss this one...ill be on the road and if it is radio'ed, i don't think Home Ice will carry it.

That would be enjoying, for pre-season. Can't watch this one as my band is throwing an epic festival on a farm tonight.

You just can't every gauge much with preseason.



We have 6 starters, mostly 3rd line and below, going against over half their starters.... LOL



Poor Crawford behind this defense!

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

nice awareness by Morin!!

Nice save by crawford but Zetterpuke and Datsuck are just to much for this D.
