McGraw38 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Chelios, along with the other moldy oldies of D-troit, really have to go, they have to realize now they need to get younger, and start ditching these slow pokes like Chelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jetstone Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Detroit just signed this player. He was born in 1895. The Wings say they'll use him on the powerplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
