from Red Wings Corner,
When asked why the Red Wings have been able to string together so many 50-win seasons, Franzen’s first response was to point out the franchise’s veteran leadership.
“They make you relaxed,” said Franzen. “Of course you’re going to be a little bit nervous at the beginning (of a career). But they make jokes all the way to the game and it relaxes you. It makes it easy on the young guys. It’s a good atmosphere.
“Veteran players teach the young guys what it takes, preparation. The oldest guys on this team will often work out the hardest, set examples for the younger guys every day.
They don’t let up any games. They’re always prepared.”
