So I have no idea how this could be considered a blemish on the Wings.

There is a long highlight video of that game from 10 October 2015 included with that article. The hit occurred at the 14:05–mark of the second period. What is amazing is that Franzen gets up and brushes it off right away—he is laughing and joking with teammates; he appears to be fine. Franzen leaves the ice and goes to the dressing room, but then he returns to the game even before the end of the second period, and finishes the third on the powerplay.

Looking at how much he is struggling now it really serves to reinforce how serious even the apparently benign head injuries can be, and how difficult their severity is to diagnose. When you watch that highlight package I very much doubt that anyone would predict from this an end to Franzen's career, and quite possibly the quality of the rest of his life. This is scary stuff.
