You've got to be kidding me - Chris Chelios coming out of retirement

[Winged_Wheel88]

Saw this on the bottom scroll of ESPN.

Details soon - they may take awhile to come out, though, it being April first and all.

This is my least favorite day of the year behind Arbor day.

I have my reasons.

Does it have anything to do with Ann?

No, her name was Sherry

I was flirting with the April Fool's Day thread being, "Stunning! Blue Jackets to forfeit rest of games - will miss playoffs" but didn't want to be responsible for your heart attack.

If you really wanted to give 43 a heart attack, you should have started a thread with the title "Bettman to remain as NHL commissioner until end of 2015 season, names Ed Snider as replacement"

The Red Wings have signed him to a 1 year pro-rated $925,000 deal. they expect him in the line-up Wednesday night against the Bruins. Either the Wings are really desperate or dude must have kept himself in great shape.

As a result, Danny DeKeyser is a healthy scratch against the Bruins.

I think that would have given us all a scare.

Sherbert is going to blow a gasket when he hears about that.

Babcock on the addition of Chelios to the Wings lineup:

"You know he'll always be the last man back mainly because he's slower than a sloth these days. But he's a proven winner in this league, everyone knows that. Just two weeks ago, he won the pickleball tournament at the Trembling Hills Retirement Complex".

I call bullshit ... Chelios doesnt leave his sauna for nothing these days

I read about that it was apparently a epic come back of colossal proportions. His partner Gladus Smith went down with a serious hip injury and instead of forfeiting Chelios decided to hike up his depends and get to work. He and Gladus had been down a staggering 9-3 against the Goldsteins ( Bill & Mary) who were once nationally ranked. The article said it was nothing short of a superhuman effort by Chelios and compared it to witnessing Jesus walking on water.

I for one and excited, plus Dekeyser is a scrub anyway. I mean what has he even accomplished in his career?

The proper way to troll me is to announce Jared Boll has been named captain of the Blue Jackets and signed to a six year extension.

I was considering a fake news article about how Illitch is selling the Wings to the owner of El Pollo Loco and sinking all the money into a new chain restaurant called Matzos! Matzos!




As for the Chelios joke, it would have been better if they said Lidstrom. Would have gotten more bites.

I possibly would have fallen for it a few years from now when his Dean and Jake make the NHL. You could see him trying a comeback to play with his sons.
