cjm502 165 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) I don't think the guy's very good, but I still don't think there are 179 D-men better than him in the NHL. Lebda could be a decent defenseman. He needs to stop doing his Paul Coffey impersonation every damn offensive rush, and knock off all the little f*** ups he has every game.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 Yes, 55fan. I guess Mickey won't be leaving the booth after all!! Believe me, I'm deliriously happy to be wrong- both about Mickey and Lilja. So Kenny was playing his cards close to the vest, so to speak. I can see that. If he's trying to negotiate a trade, it's better not to let other teams know that we need to move someone as opposed to wanting to move someone. Happy and delighted.

ComradeWasabi 109 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 On the topic of Lilja, it's been 11 months since his concussion. If I'd had headaches every day, or every few days, for 11 months, I probably would have killed somebody by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't caught as many games as I used to, so this question is just out of curiosity: Why Ericsson over Kronwall (assuming Kronwall will be back before Lilja, anyway) on the 2nd PK D-pairing?

Woops. That's a good question. I forgot about him. Ericsson probably won't play on the PK in that situation. But based on the recent news on Lils it seems like nobody is sure yet on when he'll return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But based on the recent news on Lils it seems like nobody is sure yet on when he'll return. Ah, ok. I'm certainly hoping Lilja can return soon and get back to doing what he loves. I'm just as happy that he's starting to live a normal life, though. Glad one bad decision/outcome in a hockey game seemingly won't negatively affect him for the rest of his life.

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 OK so those of you that doubted Mickey should be shining up your forks for some CROW!! Yeah maybe Mickey's comments have put Holland into a bad situation considering trade value for anyone he's considering trading. I suppose that Mlive confirming it may mean a deal is already in place?

HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 And? If it works, why not? Define "works." If you want your nerves stunned so you don't feel pain for a little while, then go to a chiropractor. But don't expect a resolution of pathology. So if you think it "works," I have to respectfully disagree. As for the Pain Train! I remember the day Kenny said the contract was drafted and Lilja just had to sign it. I ran around southeast Michigan hiding pens. For that, I apologize. I can't wait to see #3 on the ice. I would love to see him run a Penguin over this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) LILJA IS CLEARED FOR CONTACT!!! lilja crazy having the biggest guy run him..damn Red Wings' Andreas Lilja needed some contact, Johan Franzen was happy to help By Ansar Khan January 26, 2010, 11:41AM DETROIT -- He's been practicing with the team for months, but Detroit Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja hasn't had any contact. Now that he sees a light at the end of the tunnel -- he has been headache-free for 14 days -- he wanted to see how he would react to a hit. So he asked Johan Franzen to run him after practice. "I had Mule run me yesterday in practice. He picked up all his 230 pounds and threw it at me,'' Lilja said. "My body hurt, but my head was really good. It felt real good." Lilja was asked if Franzen drove his head into the glass. "He did,'' Lilja said. "Stuff like that I need to test. I can't come out there and get one hit and then think, 'OK, that's it.' I got to know how it feels." Franzen was happy to help. "He was seeing stars,'' Franzen said. "He needs that, needs someone to hit him to get him ready." What's next, an open-ice hit from Niklas Kronwall? "No, I think I'll stay away from that,'' Lilja said. "I usually don't get hit open ice. I usually get it along the boards." Lilja has no timetable for a potential return. He said he'll talk to doctors and management in the next day or two to find out the next step in his recovery from a concussion that has idled him since Feb. 28. Forward Brad May will replace Ville Leino in the lineup tonight against the Phoenix Coyotes. It will be defenseman Niklas Kronwall's first game since Nov. 21, when he sprained his MCL. He replaces Derek Meech. Those are the only lineup changes from the last game. Edited January 26, 2010 by brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
