    Still blows my mind Chicago retired his jersey when all his success was with Detroit.
    chicago kid.

    statistically he was far better on the Hawks than the Wings, and spent almost an equal amount between the two.  plus two of his three Norris trophies came with the Hawks (other with MTL).   team success though would go to the Wings part of his career.  
    As a wings fan, Chelios was the second best defenseman in Detroit from 1999 until Rafalski came in 2008, no shame in that.
    no lidstrom?  
    Lidstrom was the best defensemen in Detroit until he retired.  May have misunderstood my previous post

    I loved every minute of this. As a Habs fan Chelios was always one of my favourites when I was kid. He truly is a legend, and how cool that Eddie and Pearl Jam are linked together with his story.

    I'm sure it's hard to watch, but as Chelios said, that #88 will be up in the United Center rafters one day
