Absolutely he can. That's partially why I like him, he gives a bleep about his play. After a mistake, u can see it on his face. He cares and is self reflective. Ill bet he is one of the most coachable players Keefe has seen. He needs time, keep it simple, he is too much in love with rushing the puck right now, he has to forget about that right now imo.

How about you bring something of substance into these threads, other than personal attacks? You contribute nothing and can never back up your argument.
Personal attacks? I don't do that. I just think you're obsessed with being right about Lilly. Not personally attacking you. If I hurt you, it was not what I intended.

You do seem obsessed about being right, but instead of backing up your point of view with anything that resembles evidence, you are content to troll threads and toss around insults. I think you should use what little brain cells you have to do something more productive with your time, but carry on with your trolling if it makes you feel better.
Well you two are entitled to stick together and like eachothers posts if it keeps you confident! You're also both entitled to your own opinions. I just aint.

he can't even handle a 3rd pairing role without getting demolished. I thought he would be a lot more ready than he has been, but I was wrong

This is pretty much all wrong. Your pretty reasonable so I assume your just emotional.

Honestly, he was our best D tonight.
Positionally sound, took the body when needed without hesitation, and didn't flub the puck like Holl and Marincin did a half dozen times.

Yup posters saying he was terrible are going by underlying numbers to support an opinion.

The way I see it he is ready to be in a sheltered 3rd pairing role, but it's better he gets sent down especially in the middle of a playoff race.

The sample size is way too small to make judgements on underlying numbers in any situation, however his PK numbers are strong so far.
When we’re fully healthy, Lily, Sandin, Marincin and Rosen all sit. Rielly, Muzzin, Barrie, Dermott, Holl and Ceci are our top 6 dmen. Lily has done a serviceable job in a 6/7 D role, but for now Ceci is better.
Lily probably makes the team full time next year, though. He’s close.

Anyone have the video of Liljegren daddy dicking Thornton?
Rielly ________
Muzzin Liljegren
Dermott Holl
Sandin Marincin/Rosen
It's a pretty thick dcore other than Sandin.

Honestly, I despise the sheltered 3rd pairing role in Lily’s case.
Either play him in a serious role and live with the mistakes or send him down. It’s not like the other D are playing mistake free. Marincin alone whiffed on 3 pucks tonight without being pressured resulting in scoring chances against and got caught badly out of position on the 4th goal.
Lily’s is as good a skater, puck handler and passer as anyone we ran on D tonight, and his defensive awareness, poise and physicality is already miles ahead of Barrie.

Essentially played a smooth, mistake free game today but I agree he needs more minutes to develop properly at the NHL level.
We've had that top 6 group together for 1 game this year and Muzzin got hurt in that game lol it's amazing we're where we are in the standings.
I think Dermott will calm down a bit once the other guys are back and hopefully they can mesh before playoffs.

I thought Liljegren played great last night.
He is where he should be right now. He’s helping the team in a sheltered role, while we deal with injuries. He’s learning that he’s good enough to play in the nhl. Once our team is healthy, he’s going to have the opportunity to go back to the ahl, and dominate.
I honestly think this is all great for his development. He will be an absolute stud for us next september.

Ian Tulluch said this about Lilly's game last night.
Timothy Liljegren (RD, #37) — Even though his on-ice numbers were terrible in this game, I thought he looked alright. Liljegren was winning some battles along the wall in his own end, which is definitely something the coaching staff is going to appreciate. He was also playing a tight gap in the neutral zone defensively, stepping up on opposing forwards before they could enter the zone.
This is exactly what we were saying. The numbers weren't pretty but from the eye test, he played well.

The most exciting thing moving forward, opposing players already bounce of Lil like they hit a concrete wall. We need that type of D man, if he dominates 10 feet around our net, everything else will be a bonus.
