So Cool to See Cheli Back in Town!
After seeing Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, and Tony Esposito on the ice at the UC the other night, Chris Chelios being back in town is just the cherry on the sundae, even if he is skating with the Wolves. Who knows? Maybe his career will even surpass Gordie Howe’s. (And if Cheli signs with the Wolves, does that mean Cheli’s Chili Bar will be coming back to town???)

I got to see Cheli play for the first time ever tonight! The Wolves were in town to play the Icehogs. I’ve never been a big fan of Chelios, to be honest, but I was very excited to finally see him play in person. Special bonus at the Icehogs game tonight: Kris Versteeg was in attendance and sat right behind me!

Oooh, lucky. I’ve been meaning to take in a Wolves game, but just haven’t made it yet. I know what you mean. Chelios with the Red Wings was borderline goonish. Have you seen that classic footage of Chelios repeatedly cross-checking Patrick Kane in the playoffs last year? He just repeatedly pounds that kid into the boards. To me, Chelios was kind of like the Bill Laimbeer of hockey. You loved to hate him if you weren’t a Detroit fan, but you couldn’t take your eyes off of him regardless. ;)
Wow, Kris Versteeg was at the Icehogs game? The same Kris Versteeg who swore he’d never go back to Rockford??…lol… And Verbeauty sat behind you?? Wow, you must’ve had good seats! Did you talk to him?
