Lilja only fell because he was tied up with Souray. Souray was the one who lost his balance after getting hit in the head.

Takedown=/=Win. Lame fight.

I always assumed that GMR has his tongue firmly planted in cheek when he talks about Lilja's fighting prowess.

If you guys are seriously saying he won that fight or tuned up Souray, or that Lilja was in any way a good fighter, it just shows how long it's been since the Wings have had someone who can actually fight.

I don't know why you guys are blowing Sheldon Souray.

I doubt Angelica Bridges needs any help in that department.

Here's another one, where Lilja absolutely pummels a soft Euro to the ice.

According to my profile, my reputation is excellent. LOL.

I always wonder: Why does a player go to the KHL? Is it an easier paycheck than playing in the NHL, as well as a learning experience, or is it just the least painful way to flesh out your résumé, without going through the angst of waiting for a team to call your agent?

Given the Wing's previous experience, I just thought players jumped to the KHL for the hookers.

Money of the Board-2013 Playoff Edition: Current $31 ($5 per series win {1}, $5 per series sweep, $5 per Kronwalling {2}, $2 per Jimmy shutout or fight, $2 per Tootoo goal or fight, $2 per Mule or Brunner goal {8})

Why do they have to jump back so fast?

If you're talking about Hudler then that whole fiasco where he consequentially got dumped by his then girlfriend Simona Krainova happened before he bolted for the KHL. Not saying he didn't engage in any fun activity while he was there but you get the point.
