Chelios hobbles out at ceremony
I must admit that I teared up a little during the banner ceremony. I saw firsthand the work that it takes to reach the Finals and it was great to see that hard work and success honored last night. The ceremony was well done with a live mini orchestra, the seven trophies the Wings had won last season, management/staff, and the team. The biggest cheer of the night came when Steve Yzerman was introduced (no surprise there) and he even received a standing ovation from the fans. My dad sat on the glass yesterday evening so once I get the photos from him, I will be sure to upload photos from the ceremony and game so you guys can view them.
Chris Chelios came out hobbling and I felt bad for the guy. Apparently he’s on crutches, but refused to use them for the ceremony. While this injury isn’t going to cause Chelios to retire, he very well could at the end of this season especially if these injuries keep cropping up. According to BetOnline.com, the oldest active player (he’s 46) in the NHL is a 4-to-1 longshot to retire this season.
But enough about the hobbling Chelios, you can read my thoughts on the game over at Winging It In Motown.
