Phazon 24 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 could the reason the wings has given up so many PP goals (except for game5) be the absence of lilja? Lilja is great blocking shots and very good on PK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ericsson is more of a stickhandler and Lilja is a shotblocker. As for right now I have to say Ericsson because he is playing and Lilja is not lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spinner 6 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 The PK wasn't all that great during the regular season either. So I'm not sure there'd be much difference. I'm just thankful that theBig Rig was able to step up for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just thankful that theBig Rig was able to step up for us. What I was going to say...as much as I love the guy, our PK sucked when he was healthy too.

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Maybe. He also costs a lot of goals by turning the puck over. How many seasons in a row of solid play does Lilja need to have for the masses to let these types of outdated comments go? He's been great the past two seasons, especially given his contract. Those that still find a need to make these comments are either trying keep the bandwagon of a couple seasons ago going or haven't watched the Wings the past two years.

I don't know how long it will take for me to forgive him for that turnover in the WCF in 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsNick5 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Post title: I think wings miss Lilja on the PK My response: I don't! Sorry that he's injured, but glad that he's out. I don't think he blocks enough shots to warrant the give aways and bad plays. Sorry Lakadillia likers... Edited June 9, 2009 by WingsNick5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 I'm just glad Lebda hasn't been his usual defensive liability self in Lilja's absence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
