Cheli's "so G*d d*mn old"

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

This is probably a repost, but I can't help it.

I was watching the St. Louis feed for the HD quality - side point, it wasn't worth missing Mickey - and saw an interview with Cheli that may not have been on the Detroit Sports Net channel. The boob asked Cheli some variant on the "how it feels to be so old" question early in the interview, which he took pretty well. However, he worked it in to his response to the last unrelated question. He said something to the effect of, "I could keep up if I wasn't so G*d d*mn old". They did manage to bleep the cursing, but you could tell. I wish I had saved the video. I laughed for 10 minutes.

Yep, I saw it on Center Ice. Basically, the St. Louis guy asked Cheli if he had any one favorite moment in his career and his response was something like, "Probably, but I can't remember it because I'm too goddamn old..." :P

I was listening to WXYT today and they were asking who's THE MAN in the Detroit sports scene. Of the Wings many said Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Lidstrom. One guy called in and said Chelios. I didn't immediately think of him, but Chelios is a strong candidate. Especially with a quote like that.

OK, don't know if this is true and i'm not even sure how old his son is. Could Chris be trying to play long enough to play with his oldest son? I think that his oldest son has just graduated high school or will be at the end of the year. I don't know if he is even good enough to make the NHL but i know that he is playing juniors some were.

Someone had brought this up the other day and it made me wonder if that is Chris's master plan. Would be pretty cool to get to play in the NHL with your own son. I would think that Gordie is the only other player who did that.

Chelios owns his own minor league team. He'll play with his son one way or another. :D
