Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Thrashers legend. Number.... 24(??) needs to be put up in the rafters of the MTS Centre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Does that mean he’s officially retired? Chicago could use some help on the blue line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Well deserved, the guy literally played forever. Had no idea he played for the Canucks. Edited September 8, 2023 by nuckin_futz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Chelios single handedly ruined our 94 follow up. At the time he was the best defenseman on the planet, which said a lot about his peak prime years. Forgave him for that. Those CHI teams were good, and at the time he was their greatest player. That's my biggest Chelios memory. Guy was a total warrior, you'd have to be a little nuts to drop the mitts with a guy like Tony Twist.

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I honestly thought that this should of happened awhile ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I'm really surprised this hadn't been done already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbone Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I worked with a guy many years ago who lived in Montreal when Chelios played there. He said he'd occasionally see him out at bars late at night being a huge douchebag, getting drunk and trying to start fights. I can't verify any of that but that's what I was told!

Compared to Stevens who just gave out nasty headshots (which was a legal hit back in the day). Both made even more effective by the intimidation their reputation brought (and well deserved rep because you had to always be aware as an opposing player when you were on the ice - but Stevens would lay you out within the rules of the game then).
