I think we are possibly the only 2 people here that don't think this was intentional or illegal...

No, i'm with you. I think that the announcer got it right when they highlighted that it was an awkward situation for Nik, he got kinda of mixed up with what wayhe was going, and LaPerriere hit him. Were there such thing as a kind of illegal hit, that would be one. But there's not, and it was legal.

However, I do now have a man crush on Downey. I noticed that the fight was right by the Av's benhc. Was that because Downey jumped right on to the ice and immediately b-lined it for Lapperiere. Doesn't matter, it was badass, killed him.

Let's hope Lids can heal from the game as well as he plays it.

Why? Do you even know what happened, or are you just plugging into this thread randomly. Our whole season could potentially be over along with a 6th Norris trophy all because of one ugly looking f*** named Lappy.

I seen the hit SON but that was a clean hit. I have been here the whole time SON. Still even if it was dirty it is a GAME and you don't wish injury upon a player like that. I don't think anyone here thinks the same way as you.

Quenneville: "It's not too often you get to hit a guy like Lidstrom...sure fired the crowd up?"

Anybody else hear the s***head earlier?? I STILL HATE the Dives!!!

Yeah, we need Babcock to go over there and tell Quinneville that his dad would be very disappointed in him for that quote. :lol:

I miss the good ole days of this rivalry.

I'm betting so. He had to be begging Babcock to get him out there with Lappy on the ice.

No concussion for Lids.

Just the knee from when he went down with jelly legs.

He went into the boards really awkwardly. It was like his skate was going in backwards but he was twisted so his leg hit the boards sideways. Never good when your leg bends like that.

I still think it's a good sign he put as much weight on his right leg as he did. If you just blew out your knee, you aren't putting that much weight on it in most cases.

From MLive.com's own Ansar Khan:

February 18, MLive.com: Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom sustained a right knee injury early in Monday's game and will not return, the club said. Wings spokesman John Hahn said it doesn't appear to be too serious but he's being held out as a precaution. Hahn said Lidstrom never blacked out.

THANK GOD
