Sucks

I think the team will be fine without him, but I feel pretty bad for the guy. That's gotta be a nerve-wracking thing to have, I'd be worried sick about throwing a clot or something. Follow the Doctor's orders and get well soon, Lilja!

Awful news . . . I was really hoping he would be ready for the start of the playoffs.

Get better soon

[HanKarin40 7]

Yikes! A bleeding vein in the head, that sounds scary. It's gotta be so frustrating for him to sit back and not be able to do anything going into the playoffs. Especially with how well he was playing this year. Get well soon Lils!

Bad news. I am more worried about Lilja's long-term health and survival than the playoffs. We will miss him -- well, I will, anyway -- but it's more important that he be OK.

This injury sounds dangerous. Get well soon, Andreas!

[Guest mindfly]

Concussions sucks big time... some are ready in a week, some must take a whole year off (patrice bergeron).... GAH

This year's Franzen.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

The Pain Train has run out of steam.

For now.

Get well soon, big guy.

That's bad news, but now that they know what's going on they can keep an eye on it. I too will miss him in the playoffs, but it's better than him risking his health.

Get well Andreas

Lils! Feel better soon!

Crap

Get well soon Pain Train.

[edicius 3,269]

f***.

Get well soon, Andreas. We need ya.

[puckloo39 5,686]

not sure why my earlier post was deleted, but get well soon, Andreas...

[Drake_Marcus 890]

They say bad news comes in pairs...

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

This just wreaks of a completely Lilja-less playoff run, which absolutely sucks. I sure hope I'm wrong.

There was a duplicate thread. I assume your post wasn't erased, you just posted in two different threads. I've now merged the two.

Well aren't you a treat!

[ben_usmc 253]

feel bad for Lilja, but after this I would be nervous to be any physical dman for the wings we seem to have the most freak accidents happen. We soon maybe be able to have a top 4 of physical dman from the Wings that have had serious and weird injuries.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Shame.

Lidstrom rafski

Stu Kronwall

Ericsson Lilja

Would be sweet.

When I said bad news comes in pairs I was referring to the double post!

Gotcha. I thought of that, but figured you were referring to Rafalski.

Someone forward this to Shea Weber. Maybe the guilt will wear him down before Thursday.

Rest up and recover Lils!

[Husker BigGuy 0]

Lilja should sue the league, the officials, and and the player who hit him.

[VM1138 1,921]

Wow, this sucks. Hope you get better, Lilja, you've really become a solid defenseman.

On the bright side, the last time an important Wings player had a head injury, we won the cup.

No way, he's gotta play so that our guys, in a show of solidarity with their fallen comrade, show Weber what we do to people who injure our teammates (whether they were asking for it or not). Franzen and Sameulsson are both about the same size as Weber, so he better look out. I'm predicting that they both go with him at some point durring the game.

Why....to any of those three?

Lol.
