Helene St. James reports that Johan Franzen had what is called subdural hematoma, or what amounts to a bruise on the brain. He had to wait until the “collection of blood” went away before he could do any physical activity.
Thank God that’s over and done with. I was a little concerned when I a Ken Holland comment after Game 6 that Franzen did not have a concussion. The question obviously was, “What was it, then?” It was still a serious problem, but fortunately it’s not something long-term.
Pretty sad that the Pensyltucky players chose to use that information and throw out a couple of obvious head shots at Johan. Not so much sportsmanship there.
