Franzen out for Game 1 of Cup finals
Published 5/23/2008 at FOXSports.com News for NHL
Red Wings forward Johan Franzen practiced for over an hour Friday with his teammates, but hasn't been cleared by doctors to return to game action following concussion-like symptoms.
Franzen, the NHL leader this year in postseason goals with 12, has been out since Game 2 of the Western Conference finals and said he won't play Saturday night when Detroit takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals opener.
"I'm out of shape, but otherwise I felt good," Franzen said.
