On Wednesday, Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle called out Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen.
After complaining about what he saw as underhanded play by the Red Wings, Carlyle said there were ‘upper blows being delivered.’ When asked to point the finger, he singled out Franzen.
Franzen was delivering more blows Thursday, but in how-do-you-like-me-now fashion, scoring two first-period goals to erase a 1-0 Ducks lead in Game 4 of their Stanley Cup playoff series.
Franzen slipped an innocent-looking shot past goaltender Jonas Hiller to tie the score 11 minutes 51 seconds into the period, then redirected a shot with 36 seconds left to send the Red Wings into the dressing room with the lead.
