Chelios in 3rd D Pairing

From the Free Press:

Chelios is competing for minutes with Andreas Lilja and Brett Lebda. Lebda, though, has the advantage of being a puck-mover. Chelios and Lilja, however, are boosts to the penalty-killing units. Babcock plans to use the exhibition season, which resumes tonight with a game against Florida, to mull the third pairing.

I think the oldest player in the league will beat out Lilja, and barring injuries, will be paired with Lebda.

A cadaver could beat out Lilja.

Re: Chelios in 3rd D Pairing

Chelios is set to pass Stevie Y in games played in the next few weeks, and apparently he isn't thinking about quitting any time soon.

Re: Chelios in 3rd D Pairing

The man is a freak of nature.

Its also pretty impressive that he has only played for 3 teams in his 23+ seasons.

Seven with Montreal, 9 with Chicago and now is now in his 8th with the Wings.

Re: Chelios in 3rd D Pairing

Is there any doubt that he is a lock for the HOF?

What I like is that he is so passionate about the game. His activity with the NHLPA is part of his off ice legacy as a leader and steward for the game.

Re: Chelios in 3rd D Pairing

Chelios takes a leave of absence from the Wings after the murders of 2 employees at his bar Cheli's Chili Bar.

ESPN.com - NHL - Chelios out indefinitely in wake of restaurant stabbings

Its refreshing to see a professional athlete go to this length. I don't know how involved he is with his restaurant, but I can't see a lot of players doing this.
