    Chelios’ first game after coming over from Montreal I remember thinking “So THAT’S what a shot on net from the Blue line looks like!” Haven’t had the same thought too often since he left. I was willing to hate on Cheli after he asked to be traded to the Wings but in retrospect, would YOU want to play for Lorne Molleken on a team owned by Bill Wirtz?

    He couldn’t take losing. And with the money they threw at him anyone would have taken it. I heard the first time he stepped on the ice with a wing sweater on for practice the whole place erupted with laughter.

    Maybe he can work with the multitudes of young small defensemen the Hawks have accumulated and make at least one of them an NHL’r. I think the Hawks would be wasting his HOF talent by not using him in some sort of teaching/coaching capacity. Heck, bring him to Rockford and let him work with the kids directly, you’d be hard pressed to find someone that hustled and hated to lose as much as Cheli did. Not the most graceful skater, and certainly a pain to play against, but you had to love his heart for the game.
