Johan Franzen keeps pushing aside Gordie Howe's records.
In March, his six game-winning goals bested the franchise record of five established by Howe in 1952, and on Thursday night, he scored three goals in the Detroit Red Wings' series-clinching 8-2 rout of the Colorado Avalanche, giving him nine in the four-game sweep.
So what did he think of again besting Howe, the Hall of Famer who set the franchise record of eight goals in one series (seven games) in 1949?
"He's been great. He's a big, big man with lots of skill. We're lucky to have him," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We feel good about that. I'm not taking anything away from what we did, but their team was depleted by the end here.
Btw, Franzen makes $900,000 a year.
