Guest bullocks Report post Posted May 21, 2007 i think that should be our moto, "do it for lilja"...man i feel bad for the dude...hes been OUTSTANDING in the playoffs, he played 18:30 of ice time last night and only had one turnover...i guess we can all guess what it is. I hope they rally around him. The way i see it, we force a game 7 its ours!!!! I found this kind of interesting what i read... "If the Wings really are better than the Ducks -- as they've appeared the last two games, both losses -- then they'll eventually prove it on the scoreboard, won't they? They're down to their last opportunity, and players sounded more determined than demoralized. The Wings still have a chance because they still have Hasek and they still have Anaheim taking dizzying amounts of penalties." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) I hope the team uses this as a rallying method. I feel bad for the guy too. He has been solid through the playoffs thus far. P.s. I miss Schneider. This may be a diff. series with him on the points for the PP... Edited May 21, 2007 by Yzerfan1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WINGS TILL DEATH 9 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) I love your quote Yzerfan1999. Tell that to duck fans I just got bombarded by my buddies on AIM and Myspace "Ducks kicked the Wings's asses. it wasn't even a game " "The Wings don't even deserve to be in the playoffs" The Number one reason I hate the ducks is because of their fans.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 Seriously I feel heart broken for Lilja. Big time. He didn't deserve what happened, and it's absolutely in no way his fault. You're amazing, Andreas. Keep your head up. They are going to win the next two for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WINGS TILL DEATH 9 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 YEA they are!!! They seriously think that the game tying goal was skill, and that Scott planned for it to go of Nic's stick. I hope the Wings win otherwise work is going to be hell on hump day, and if a team like that lifts the cup then we'll have to find a new trophy because the cup will be ruined.

Keep your head up. They are going to win the next two for you! i wouldn't say it wasnt his fault, cuz he did cough up the puck. but there should have been someone supporting him...filpulla was jus skating up the ice not paying attention...it's okay tho, not his fault in general we lost.

w00p33 2 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 I mentioned the same thing in the other Lilja thread ("Lilja deserves props"). I hope we rally around Lilja and support him better than we did vs. Selanne in that play. He has elevated his play so much I think he deserves at least consideration of playoff MVP (we'll see if anything comes of that if Wings make finals...). He made a mistake, it happens, and I would say about 75% chance it wasn't his fault (bad OT ice a big factor) but it doesn't change how big this guy has played all playoffs long. If I had to list the heroes of this playoffs it would be Cleary, Lilja, Cheli, and Holmstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrossCheck24 2 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 Look I feel bad for the guy too, but he didn't play it safe. Skating the puck out of his own end was the wrong decision. I don't know where you guys are coming from when you say it isn't his fault. Lidstrom, Chelios, Schnider all would not make that mistake, they would have put it off the glass and out of the zone no problem. Its his fault.. I do hope the wings use this as a rallying point though, and I hope this does not affect Lilja's game, and learned not to be so predictiable.

hardcoretom21 71 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 Thank you LGW members for reinforcing my faith in you! At the beginning of the year and during much of the season, Lilja was being bashed a lot, and it feels good to read that the majority is still behind the players, individually and collectively!

Guest jaytan Report post Posted May 21, 2007 "Lose it with Lilja" seems like a more appropriate phrase. I don't put all the blame on him, but I'm not exactly in a good mood about the guy today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't put all the blame on him, but I'm not exactly in a good mood about the guy today. None of the blame should go on ANY of the Wings, especially not him. The guy has played his ass off, he is the only one that scored for the Wings yesterday. Even with him slipping up the puck, he is the Wing that deserves to be criticized least.

joshy207 156 Report post Posted May 22, 2007 should have never got to that point. Yeah, Lidstrom should know how to block a shot. Never, never, NEVER with your stick. Always with the body. If you're not going to get your body in the way, get out of the way and let the goalie see the shot! He should have known better... Get 'em in games 6 and 7!

It's a little different when you're defending a 6-on-4. The circumstances are completely different than 5-on-5. If Lids puts his body in front of the shot, it leaves 1 (or possibly 2) open guys right at the goal mouth. Lids was playing a great positional angle, and it was just unlucky.
