| Wings general manager Ken Holland revealed that Johan Franzen had a subdural hematoma. It's a form of brain injury in which blood gathers between the dura (the outer protective covering of the brain) and the arachnoid (the middle layer of the meninges). It usually results from tears in a vein. They had to wait for the blood to dissipate before clearing Franzen to play again. There is no long-term concerns. He should be fine, Holland said. |
That's not a concussion It's great that there's no long-term effects for Mule, that's for sure... _________________ Bring back the old OTP!

It's a weird injury, although I don't know how serious it normally is. Definitely a "sit and rest" injury, but I don't know if Franzen was any more "tough" dealing with it than normal.
It seemed to effect his game when he came back, though that might just have to do with sitting out and losing his rhythm as a result. _________________ "Oh my God. There she is. Lovely Sally Slater.
