ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Hard to believe that our old man Chelios has 3 goals in 3 straight games. For a guy who had 1 goal all of last season, this is pretty freakin amazing, pre-season or not. I really really really hope this streak of his continues through the regular season, as we need a a good defensive scorer. What do you guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skacore 2 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I think it's great he's scoring but disagree we need another scoring defenceman, we got Lidstrom, Rafalski, Kronwall, Lebda for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wadewing 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I took Chelly in the 14th round of my draft. So keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Lidstrom for sure, Rafalski kinda, Lebda a bit, and Kronwall......didn't he have 0 goals last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redwings-40-5 11 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 If he can keep putting up the goals like he is right now, then I say we should let him go for it. We need all the offense we can get, so here is to Chelios having a 15 goal season. Well I can hope anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I love Chelios as much as the next guy. Probably even more. But lets be real here. This is preseason. Let's see Cheli score even 10 during the entire regular season. Then i'll be impressed. Anything that happens in preseason, is nothing to hang your hat on. That's just how it's always been, and thats how it will always be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I believe Chelios has scored the deciding goal in every game and scrimmage he's participated in this preseason. Almost spooky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Its almost Poetic when you think about it... FIRE ON ICE perhaps the wings were talking about rejuvinating Ol' Man Cheli's Career this year when they came up with that slogan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Not to be a downer, but I'd take anyone's bet that feels Chelios will score more than 5 goals. He's a stay-at-home D-man on a team full of puck-moving defensemen. Here's hoping I'm wrong, but with Lids, Rafalski, Kronwall and Lebda shooting, I have a feeling he'll continue to be a stay-home guy like Lilja. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Since when Kronwall and Lebda are offensive def??? Since someone said they were. Apparently having one end-to-end rush makes you a scoring d-man and if you are selected to play the point you must also be a scoring d-man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me its not so much about putting up goals, but rather if you are a puck-moving mobile defensemen vs. the stay-at-home variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sergei_is_still_a_wing 1 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 if cheli scores even 5 goals a round of virtual beers is on me! he only had one last year so 20 points for him and i'd be stoked (had 11 last season but 8 in the playoffs so 20 is a reasonable goal).

Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted September 26, 2007 if cheli scores even 5 goals a round of virtual beers is on me! Dont worry, you'll never have to. I say Cheli gets 2 goals this season. Which is fine. Cause that's not his role. But the fact remains, Cheli will not hit 5 goals this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the fact remains, Cheli will not hit 5 goals this season. Obviously, I'm a huge Cheli fan, but logic's on your side: 1 (10 games after the trade), 3, 0 (24 games), 6, 2, 2, 4, and 0 goals with the Wings. His one goal that some have referenced was in the playoffs. But like you said, for what he is and what we ask of him, that's fantastic. If he keeps killing penalties like someone half his age, we don't need a single goal from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) fire on ice baby! thats all Cheli ! its so cool to see him score some even if it's preseason, but ANY amount of goals from him during the regular season is a plus. dude's tryin to get on the PP unit like he wants. harharharr.

If he keeps killing penalties like someone half his age, we don't need a single goal from him. Exactly. He's the best at what he does. And Im sure if he was put in the role of goal scorer, he would definitely have more than 2 goals. But we already have players that fit that role. Cheli's role is also hugely important in a different way. And like I said, he's great at it. Which is why I wouldnt mind if he played even 5 more seasons, if he can keep it up the way he has been. Chelios is one of my favorite players, and it's obviously not because of his point totals. Cheli has officially kicked the crap outta father time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
