Three days with a Vancouver chiropractor apparently has done wonders for Red Wings defenseman AndreasLilja, who remains on long-term injured reserve because of constant headaches stemming from an on-ice fight last season.
AndreasLilja, out since Feb. 28 after suffering a concussion, returned to his usual routine of watching teammates practice and then going out of a lonely skate. He's just been in Toronto for treatment. "I just went for acupuncture, for everything - hips, back, shoulders," he said. "It feels a little bit different, but, pretty much the same." Lilja...

Detroit Red Wings Vs Montreal Canadiens Time: 21 November, 2009 at 7:00 PM ET League: NHL – United States of America Last 10 matches: Detroit 6-2-2; Montreal 5-5-0 Detroit is missing forwards Valtteri Filppula (wrist), Jason Williams (leg) and Johan Franzen (knee) and defenseman AndreasLilja (concussion). On the plus side, Montreal got defenseman Ryan O’Byrne and forward...
... Cheli could be signed out of the AHL at a middling rate and could be a definite help. With AndreasLilja still out indefinitely, the possibility of bringing in a veteran rather than relying on an unproven young player seems to me to be the more attractive option. All of this is assuming Kronwall’s out for a while, but given the nature of the play, I don’t think that’s an unreasonable...

... the next forward to get injured but the last time I bet on player injuries, I won five dollars and AndreasLilja still isn't back in the lineup. That's not even the worst game the Red Wings have played in the last year. Why does it feel like it was the epitome of gross, and the end of the world besides?

Just wanted to share this priceless nugget from the morning skate at GM Place: I was talking to AndreasLilja about Mikael Samuelsson, who left the Wings this summer to sign with the Canucks. Lilja and Samuelsson became best buddies during their years in Detroit (they first met while both were in the minors), so naturally Lilja was present this summer when Samuelsson married...
... loss of Johan Franzen, who is out for at least 4 months, is significant for their offense, whilst AndreasLilja on defense provides consistent zone coverage that is always missed. All-Star Pavel Datsyuk has also been absent for the past week but it is thought he will make a comeback in this clash. Inconsistent goaltending has also troubled this side; Chris Osgood is 3-2-1 with a 3.21...
