I'll take either your theory or perhaps baby Lilja was dumped over the wall separating Finland from Sweden, and all that the adoptive parents could determine was that he originated on the Swedish side.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-15250442942127159972008-08-16T20:50:00.000-07:002008-08-16T20:50:00.000-07:00I think it's hilarious that Andreas Lilja's birthp...I think it's hilarious that Andreas Lilja's birthplace is listed as "Sweden, Sweden."<BR/><BR/>It makes it sound like his mom dropped him in the middle of a field somewhere distant from any human habitation - and then he was raised in the wild by wolves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-57730383945636729442008-08-15T11:49:00.000-07:002008-08-15T11:49:00.000-07:00Yeah, Linden was a bit of a shocker for me as well...Yeah, Linden was a bit of a shocker for me as well. Don't really remember him playing in WSH at all.<BR/><BR/>Also Joe Sacco caught me a bit off-guard.

Who knew? But then I checked, and he only played 28 games over 2 seasons with them, so he probably barely remembers that time as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-85938338022926756322008-08-15T10:16:00.000-07:002008-08-15T10:16:00.000-07:00Craig Johnson had an innate talent to create a gen...<I>Craig Johnson had an innate talent to create a genuine scoring chance all on his own and then completely blow it in the most comical fashion</I><BR/><BR/>Sounds quite familiar, actually.
