Mint kiderült Francouz-nak csípő és térd sérülése volt, és azután sérült meg, hogy beállít Grubauer helyére. Az pontosan nem derült ki, hogy mikor, mitől sérült meg.

Bednar:

“I think it was uncharacteristic, the way he played in the series (but) you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was dealing with hip and knee problems — muscular problems that were giving him some weakness and some pain and he just didn’t play the way we had seen him playing (and) eventually he couldn’t keep going. It was obviously getting worse as the series went on.”

Sakic:

“He was battling through his issues once he came in,” Sakic said of Francouz, who began the playoffs with a 27-save shutout against Dallas in round-robin play Aug. 5. “He’s an athletic goalie and he wasn’t able to push. I give him credit. He tried. He battled. He just couldn’t do it anymore.”


Plusz Sakic szerint mind a 7 sérült játékosunk 100%-os állapotban lesz Dec 1-re.
