#1redwingfan 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Well that's a thought, but how do you know the guy we trade for in exchange for Lilja is going to be an upgrade anyways? Scapegoats on LGW are like hot days in the summer: there are a lot of them. Trading Lilja away isn't going to change that. i definitely agree with you. i was just thinking outloud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) Addition by subtraction. STOP USING"ADDITION BY SUBTRACTION" PEOPLE! If there were some way we could outlaw these 3 words from being used on this site, that would be awesome! Everytime I see them it drives me nuts! I am so tired of people using that phrase. Its just a clever generalization meant to spin a loss into gain without any reasoning. Until next season starts, no one knows whether we gained anything by letting those players go, especially since we haven't replaced any of them... Rant over...

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 It's quite fascinating actually.... in the last regular season meeting with the Ducks ( Wings won 1-0), after his fight with Moen where he became the "Pain Train", the bashing immediately stopped....... He got his ass kicked though, somewhat. That fight was a joke, people called him Pain Train jokingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 I think you're being a bit too generous... I'd say he's: Mikael "I shoot at chests, but not breasts" Samuelsson I like to call him Mikael "I scored the teams only two goals in the series clinching game 6 against SJ in last year's playoffs and I only make 1.5M and I can play defence" Samuelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 It it is for 1.36 mil, what is Markov going to say now? I want Markov back: Lids - Markov Rafalski - Quincy Chelios - Lebda Lilja This is at the end of the season when Kronner is on the IR. No way Q plays over Lilja after the play-off performance Lilly gave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turretin 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 No way Q plays over Lilja after the play-off performance Lilly gave. Well, I think your right, for right NOW, but I would like to see the Wings develop Quincy throughout the season. I'd also like to see him get plenty of playoff experience so that we don't hit a whole generation of defenseman who have little to no experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turretin 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 I'm not going to start something on these boards (because that's not what they're for). And, I haven't seen you be an ass in the past, so I won't pretend like you are. However, if something I say bothers your personal likes and dislikes because you have some pet peeve then, in the future, just keep it to yourself.
