Being originally from Michigan and having living in Illinois for 38 years, I support both the Red Wings and Blackhawks. Chelios is one of my favorite players of all time . Well done Chelios !!
Not a quality dude
Wasn't planning on listening to the whole speech, even though Cheli is one of my all-time favorite Blackhawks–but EXCELLENT SPEECH, and I listened to it all!
Love how he didn’t care about the clock and thanked everyone and made it about everyone else. Speaks to his high character and the type of morale he spreads. Congrats 7. Cheli…🙏✌️
I could not imagine being a NHL coach and trying to draw up a
play to get the puck past the likes of Chelios, and past Belfour.
It had to be a big headache trying to think of that nonsense!
What a game it was! Couldn't script it any better!
My birthday buddy…loved him from the start. So I think he had a reputation but I was always glad he was on our side. Not happy when he went to the deadwings but his heart was always here!❤️❤️❤️love ya, Chelly!
Seabrook deserves this way more than chelios ever will . This was a complete PR move..
red wings legend and the night capped off by red wings legend kane
Chelvis
His jersey got hung up in the tanning booth
Respect!
Great Badger. Probably best Defenseman in the school history.
Cheli to Kane: "Don't go stealing my thunder today." 😂
What’s crazy is that the thing their retiring which is the number 7 should be wayyyyy bigger than that little thing
Thank you from Detroit!! Also glad Chelios recognized Probie!!
That banner is terrible. His number should be the focus of the banner. Instead, it looks like an after thought.
Blues and Blackhawks rivalry, and Chelios was a thorn in our side, what a player and I want to congratulate you for having your number 7 retired, one of the best hockey player in Chicago!
The guy never ages!!! He looks the same now as he did back in the day! Unreal.
Great player.. great human.. great family man.. great Chicago representative.. and great business man!! A true legend! #7
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
He looks like he could still play! What an awesome speech and an awesome man.
Lets hope bedsy wasnt listening, gonna make him wanna go back to vancouver lol
Chris "Honeynut" Chelios
Good
Next time he does this will b in Detroit at LCA , Chelios #24 deserves to be put up in the Wings rafters also right beside Lidstrom 😊
St Jude Knights for life
It’s about damn time Chelios gets his number retired
The enemy this guy won a few cups with Detroit something you didn't do with the Blackhawks
he didn't even mention the HABS once. He ignored us. He was a stud here for 7 yrs and won a cup.. the habs gave him his first shot. I don't think he likes the Habs organization.He loved this city and its nightlife.. I used to always see him in bars very late picking up hot girls with his teammates. ..He was a wild young guy… I think him and habs left on a bad note. They never honored him or retired his # either. And he was GREAT here.
TOEWS AND KANE #19 & #88 ARE NEXT TO BE RETIRED BY THE BLACKHAWKS
Congrats Cheli. We got to cherish him in Detroit. We loved all those great times you were apart of!
Now Detroit should do the same thing.
If you told him to suit up and go on the ice tonight he would have with literally zero hesitation. Legend.
Cheli, you were always exciting to watch and gave Chicago your all! You deserved to have your Jersey retired long long ago! Congratulations man ❤
Great speech from number 7. Does Chelios ever age? Guy still looks sharp (no pun intended).
Cheli “ look before you leap “ quoting the Disney channel classic soundtrack from Brink . Noice
Cheli crushed this I won’t lie
