Gizmo 21 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I was talking to someone today about the time that Chris Chelios drew a penalty while on the bench by stepping on the stick of an opposing player that had fallen into the Red Wings bench after being checked along the bench boards. The player, frustrated by Chelios' actions, punched him in retaliation. I recall seeing a photo posted on LGW showing Chris' skate in the stick, but I've used a variety of search keywords, and cannot find it. Can someone please post a link to the photo?

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I forgot about that. Was it this same incident or another one where Cheli picked up the stick while sitting on the bench, but smashed the blade of it before handing it back to the guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I guess it was 2010 then? Chelios was no longer with the team in 2009-2010. I can't positively identify any of the other players in the picture, so I can't narrow the data down any further. If that is indeed Lilja on Chelios's left, then the incident occurred between 2005 and 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

esteef 2,679 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I thought that was Lils It is Lils, the coach behind him is MacLean and the face just to the below right of Babs behind the bench is McLellan. 2006? esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 At first thought I kept thinking that was Ericsson then I realized it was Lils. When did the Wild use those jerseys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 Looks like Lang holding the Vapor stick... Lang used Koho. I have one autographed by him. I first thought it was him as well, but realized that it was the wrong stick. Definitely Lilja. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 Surprised it took you guys this long to see that it's Lilja holding that Vapor stick. Didn't you recognize that ear protection he always used to wear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I think Yzerman is in the background. That would make it the 2005-2006 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I think Yzerman is in the background. That would make it the 2005-2006 season. I thought that was Franzen in the background. And who's the Minnesota player? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 Stephane Veilleux, possibly? The Wild wore those jerseys 2003-2007. I see a ?9 on his jersey. Veilleux is the only possibility I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Axe Report post Posted September 5, 2012 Thats Devereaux , making it the 2001 season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest irishock Report post Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I definitely see Franzen in the background. If the Wild player was Veilleux, it's definitely this game: http://www.hockey-re...0511110DET.html Edited September 5, 2012 by irishock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted September 6, 2012 Thats Devereaux , making it the 2001 season Neither Franzen nor Lilja played for the Wings in 2001. And I'm pretty sure Babcock wasn't coaching us then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
