On a Sunday evening in early March, long before he made the most prolific playoff run in Detroit Red Wings history, Johan Franzen scored the goal that started it all. Skating near the left-wing face-off dot late in the second period of what would become a 4-2 Detroit win in Buffalo, Franzen, a forward, took a pass from defenseman Niklas Kronwall and buried the puck behind goalie Ryan Miller. It was just the 13th goal of the season for the 6' 2", 210-pound Franzen, who hoped that the score -- which ended a seven-game drought -- would be a sign of more to come. Was it ever.
