Dats never ceases to amaze. He picked the pocket of a Hawks player just as he was going to dump for a Hawks line change.

The Hawks got caught in the change and the Wings had a good chance.

Cheli not choosing to go to Detroit makes the fans' reaction hard for me to understand. All fan bases have their share of idiots but the Hawks have a disproportionate number of ignorant, caveman-type fans. It's odd because the other Chicago sports teams have pretty solid, knowledgeable fan bases. I attribute it to all the losing. I didn't hear the "Detroit Sucks" chants as much the last couple years when the Hawks started winning. They were too busy cheering on their own team. But now that the team is losing again, things are trending down again. It's a shame because the team has a rich history.

Like someone said, I'd be willing to bet that most of the fans in attendance probably either forgot or didn't even know that Chelios once played for the Hawks.

As for chanting "Detroit sucks" less, a good bunch of them were chanting during their Cup parade.

The fans abandoned the team during Wirtz's dollar-stretching days, how can they fault Chelios? That team was going nowhere.
