e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 It is unlikely that we'll see him doing any of that when he eventually makes his return to the ice. but I can't wait for his return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 It is unlikely that we'll see him doing any of that when he eventually makes his return to the ice. but I can't wait for his return. As long as he's killing penalties and eating up ice-time, I'll be happy. The Wings could use a defensive-defenseman right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 I miss this man. Yeupp, and thanks. I'd forgotten all about that one. And it seems he's remained a class act in spite of huge obstacles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XxGoWingsxX 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 if he ever fought again id s*** myself. but who knows he sounds alil crazy having 230lbs guy run him the first day hes cleared for contact It's the only way to test it lol. At least it was a friendly teammate and not a cheapshotting opponent. When I was out with a concussion, my coach had me do the same thing.....I'd skate into the corner towards the loose puck and he'd have the 2nd biggest guy on the team run me (I'm the biggest 6'4 225). Once i said I was fine from that, They made me run the gauntlet...which is fun because i can knock some of my smaller teammates down when they're hitting me lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, Phaneuf s*** his pants during the squaroff and fell down like a little girl for fear of being pummeled in front of his famous moviestar girlfriend. That was a clear win for Lilja in my book.

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 According to that site he will play in Grand Rapids next week. I want to think that'll be a great way to get into game-type condition. Sure, they're not as quick as the Wings, but that ain't all bad either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Ken Daniels just said on Red Wings Live that Lilja will go to GR next week for a conditioning stint for 5-6 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LidstromIsASuperhero 29 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Man, right when I thought he'd never play again, this happens. I just hope he plays well. I'm just worried that if he takes over for Lebda on the bottom pairing, there won't be enough speed between him and ericsson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, at least they won't have excess speed to make repeated stupid pinches in the offensive zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 The Wings have what like 6 or 7 games until the Olympic break right? Is it possible for Lilja to just stay in GR throughout the whole Olympic break? What would be the problem with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What would be the problem with that? IDK about da rules when it comes to that, but you'd have to think that Lilja'd want that considering how long he's been on the shelf. A great defensive-defenseman's pairing=Lilja+Janik imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Hot damn, that means I'll see him next Saturday! YAH HOO!!!!!!! :banana: Ok, I'm officially jealous. Meanwhile, if you have time, could you post a report of any size as to what your reactions were to seeing him and watching him play? THANKS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
