Hatchet Barry 71 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) I wonder what that was about. He shook the coaching staffs hands. I wonder if he was just too emotional? Edited May 23, 2007 by Hatchet Barry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_mcgrath88 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Who the f*** cares... I dont shake hands with people I dont respect.. and i'm sure the same goes for Cheli.. The Ducks team is made up of world class goons and babies.. did you hear the things some of these guys said in the media.. god knows what they say on the ice... Cheli is a class act veteran guy, and if he didnt shake hands with them, he had reason....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 I had to leave the room for a bit after the loss, didn't see that. What's that about? Sounds like poor sportsmanship to me.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19 C 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Wow... I can't believe some of you are defending that? I don't care if you're too emotional or don't respect them... you shake their hands!!! Is that what he teaches his kids when they play hockey. I don't care what the circumstances are... you shake the other teams hands!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) If anyone has the right to pull a move like that it's Chris Chelios..... He did go over and shake the coaches' hands.... There must have been some on-ice issue with some player(s) that we may never know..... or, as mentioned, he was just too emotional and will regret/apologize for it later.....I will reserve judgment until more information is brought forward.....

glasgowcelticwing 18 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 I wonder what that was about. He shool the coaching staffs hands. I wonder if he was just too emotional? That probably what it was . Cheli's a warrior and warrior's don't take defeat too well especially when overall the Ducks didn't deserve to win the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Something was said to him in disrespect, or he was just too emotional to even consider it. Who cares though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a professional sports player is very much about sportsmanship. Too emotional??? Whatever What about the other players on our team???? They ALL shook hands. It's an embarasment to the wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ducks showed no sportsmanship all series long.. so why should Chris? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19 C 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Okay... so going by your argument of "they play dirty.. dont' shake their hands".... I guess that should have been the case when Chelios was such a dirty player back in the day???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Cheli should have shook hands...that's the end of it. If Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux can be in handshake lines (though not shaking each others), then so can Cheli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Good for Cheli!! I'm glad he didn't. Especially Giguere's, he has to be the biggest cheater in the NHL. He'll get my respect when his protective gear is not in Hextall's realm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19 C 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Unless we find a reason why he didn't, I think it's best to wait before jumping on the guy. That's lame! There is absolutley NO reason for not shaking hands. He skated off the ice... even shook hands with the coaches. There is no reason why he couldn't have skated to centre ice to shake hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Production Line 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 I'm sure it happens alot more then we know... Better that then who was it McCarty that said, and a number of wings thought it to that "I can't beleive I shook his ******* hand" meaning tha infamous claude "the repundent turtle" lemieux... It is the only sport that does it and I applaud hockey for it, but if you have that strong feelings you should be able to do what you want, he could be injured or maybe needed to go to the bathroom...
