Nev 1,085 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 "Obviously, he (ticked) someone off last week when he got pummeled (by Edmonton rookie Theo Peckham),'' Chelios said. "He still managed to keep his mask (visor) on, what a surprise. If it's still in him at his age to do that, that's why they got him.'' Chelios said Lemieux not only wears on the opposition, but also on teammates. "Whether it was him cheating at cards or (ticking) someone off,'' Chelios said. "But he was young, he'll be the first to admit he got under people's skin on other teams as well as his own team, coaches and everybody. Not the most pleasant guy to be around, but he had a big heart. I talked to him over the past few years. I like him a lot more than I did back then.'' Of course, Chelios calling someone out over their fighting style - pot, meet kettle. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/20...ieux_ready.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I bet if Cheli finds Lepuke in his bar he'll throw scalding hot chili in his eyes, break a beer bottle over his head, find a broom/stick/pool cue and slash him in the leg. That'll teach the bastard to fight with a visor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

softshoes 83 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Cheli doesn't fight, but he doesn't cheap shot either. They were cheap shots when he played for Montreal and Chicago. With Detroit it's just old time hockey. As for La Phew, that's old history. Mac took care of the hit on Draper. Untill he fugs up again he's got a clean slate. Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't keep an eye on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StaticWithABeat 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I dislike Claude as much as the next guy, but Chelios has no business calling anyone out for their fighting. He was one of the most weasely, despicable pricks in the league until he got old. Loved to run his mouth, take liberties with star players, then leave Ciccone or Steve Smith to cover his ass when the enforcers came calling. Maybe not as slimy or conniving as Lemieux was, but just as dishonorable when it comes to fighting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I hate all this Lemieux talk, but tonights the night to end all the talking. Stuart wants to make a good impression on his return, well if he runs Lemieux over he will hears cheers the likes hes never, and probably will never, hear.

hallelujahlogic 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 i know it's fun to think everyone hates each other as much irl as they do on the ice when the adrenaline is pumpin' and emotions are riding high but...this article didn't really make it sound like cheli was "laying into him". that being said, i hope that turtle gets pounded tonight. i don't even care who does it. huds can jump on his back from behind and wrestle him to the ground for all i care. haha somehow i will never get tired of watching that man bleed.

Ratbastrd 90 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Gotta say I find it pretty amusing to see all of the animosity towards a 42 year old has been. I hope that this might actually make for some good violence tonight. I am generally ambivilant to the guy, as I don't see that he adds that much to my team, but if he can get under the Wings players skins as much as he has their fans, then he is worth every penny he is making tonight. Go turtle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
