Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup
Susan, I agree with you on Franzen. Everyone knows that he has been out with headaches, re: concussion concerns. That was one very cheap shot that should have been penalized - I don't like to see that kind of stuff from anyone. In fact, I was not one of those who was happy to see Bertuzzi in a Red Wing uniform last year and was not unhappy to see him go at the end of the season.

Beer (and Susan) - you know, I'm not so sure that anyone saw the hit by Roberts on Franzen; and, the Wings have an attitude going during this playoffs that says, "don't retalliate." That is not to say that the Wings are not hitting either, because they are.

I'm listening to Detroit talk radio right now and the call-in fans are furious over the Franzen hit. I like to stay level-headed about the game and keep it simple; I love a good clean hit as much as the next guy, but when players give in to cheap shots it becomes real easy to dislike them. I sincerely hope that the Wings continue to stay clean headed and simply keep kicking ass. GO RED WINGS! Cheers.
