Franzen-less Wings

Talk about two different teams.  The 3-0 team and then the 0-2 team.  The Wings look totally different now because of the absence of Franzen.  The Wings leading goal scorer needs to return tonight if the Wings are going to win.  Why?  It is because the Wings have two strong lines that can score with Franzen in the line up.  Right now they only have one scoring line and Dallas knows it.  Franzen had become such a force that Dallas couldn't focus just on Datsyk and Zetterberg.  Franzen was good for at least one goal a night before he went out of the line up.  The Wings have not come up with the big goal when needed.  If it wasn't for Osgood on Saturday, the score should have been 4-1 Dallas.  You want to talk about great scoring chances?  Dallas was having fun out there taking point blank shots on Ozzy and you could see it in the way they looked.   Dallas now presents a swagger and that is really dangerous for the Wings.  Morrow had a smile on his face and it was 2-1 Dallas in the middle of the third period.  Morrow and the others have the confidence they didn't have in the first three games.  Turco has now beaten his deamon at the Joe.  The Red Wings need to get that swagger back that they once had.  With Franzen, he gives you another big body in front of Turco and he has become the sniper for Detroit.  The Wings need him now and not on Wednesday.  Pittsburgh did what it needed to do on Sunday.  The Wings need to end this thing tonight.
