“It’s unbelievable,’’ Lilja said. “I’d been having headaches for eight months. Then I see him for one day and headaches disappear for three days.’’
Lilja said there is no timetable for his return, but he has picked up the pace in practice. The next step is seeing how he reacts to contact.

Lilja Going On LTIR

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
General manager Ken Holland confirmed that defenseman Andreas Lilja will start the season on long-term injured reserve. Lilja, who hasn’t been cleared for contact due to headaches and concussion-like symptoms, isn’t even allowed to skate with the team in practices. Lilja said he hopes to skate on his own Monday.
Lilja on IR puts the Wings under the salary cap, so there’s no need to trade a defenseman for the time being.
“Lils has had a setback,’’ Babcock said. “It doesn’t look to me like he’s in the picture at all.’’

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja isn’t sure if he’ll be ready for the start of training camp Sunday, but he is confident he eventually will be cleared to play again.
Lilja, plagued by headaches and concussion-like symptoms since Feb. 28, said Tuesday he hoped to learn more after having some tests, including an MRI this afternoon.
“I’m a lot more positive,’’ Lilja said. “I’m almost 100 percent sure I’m going to play, it’s just a matter of when.’’

Lilja Getting Appendectomy Today

From Bruce MacLeod at Red Wings Corner --
Andreas Lilja is having an appendectomy today and won’t be with the team in St. Louis. The defenseman could return to the lineup as early as Friday, according to coach Mike Babcock, but that does seem like a very speedy recovery.
Appendectomy on Tuesday and playing NHL hockey on Friday?? Methinks Babcock is a bit of an optimist…
