Oh crap!!

DETROIT -- Bad news on the Johan Franzen injury front: The Red Wings just announced that the big forward will be out a minimum of four months after sustaining a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.

This is the third straight season in which Franzen has injured his knee in October. But this is his most serious injury.

Franzen, whose first goal of the season proved to be the game-winner at 17:49 of the second period Thursday, is starting the first year of an 11-year, $43 million contract.

Oh crap!!

I know how you feel Grace, I was there last year with Gonchar's injury. At least he will be back for the end of the season and playoffs. Maybe he shouldn't play in October anymore! Prayers to Franzen for a healthy recovery.

Am I going to have to pul out "Hockey Jesus" for this season?

The Kings are in first place?

The Wings beat the Kings tonight.

Nicklas Lidstrom had 2 assists - giving him 1000 points in his career. The first Swedish defense man in history to reach that goal.

For some unknown reason I am unable to edit my previous post??

I wanted to add and clarify.

Lidstrom is the FIRST European defenseman, and 8th overall, to reach 1000 points.

He now has 229 goals and 771 assists in 1,336 career games.
