Hey Chris, retire already. You suck now and have for a few years. Id rather Bettman stick around then some washed up has been who hasnt had a good year in a decade and was way overpaid the whole time.

I'm not sure Chelios has the brain cells it would take to make the historical connections and realize how inappropriate those words are. My guess is it was unintentional. Still, one needs to choose words far more wisely.
Then again, maybe Chelios knows exactly what he's saying. He's always carried himself with such class and dignity.

"And that alone should be just cause for him to get the gas after this is all done."
To me, the suggestion that he be gassed sounds very much like a threat.

The Rant Thread only exists for people who say something that insults small market team fans.
Chris Chelios is a Hall of Fame Defenseman with Two Stanley Cup Rings.
You aren't.

Crazy_Ike said:Boy if the media picks up on that Chelios is suggesting a Jewish person get "gassed"...
But, in all honesty, I'm pretty sure the bonehead was just suggesting he be fired. Even Chelios, one of the dumbest players in the league, couldn't be *that* stupid...
...could he?
nyrmessier011 said:Your the biggest idiot to post on these boards. You know dick about the game and the NHL.
Chelios is 100% correct. Bettman focused so much on the PR battle and trying making the players look like the bad guys that it's now going to backfire on him. Now Bettman and the owners run a sports league in which so much people hate the actual product. Just another mistake by a "man" who knows nothing about the sport and about running a sports league.

chiavsfan said:Guys, Chelios was a POS here in Chicago, and he is the same way in Detroit. Why these comments surprise anyone is beyond me. For the people supporting him on here...I guess your blind love for the idiots of this league will keep them in the NHL for another few years.
Montrealer said:He's also a dolt. There's a reason he was traded from the Habs - his off-ice antics were too damn embarrassing.
Sucked - the guy was a Norris winner and should have played here for twenty years, but he was too arrogant to care about the image of the most storied franchise in the NHL.
By the way, if Guy Lafleur drives up and flips you the bird, and then insults your parantage, do you say...
"Please sir, I want some more!"
I guess so... after all, he's a Hall of Famer and he owns Stanley Cup Rings, right?
The Iconoclast said:Bettman did nothing to the players that they did not do to themselves.
neelynugs said:whether or not chelios "meant" what he said, he most certainly will need to apologize for the remark. totally uncalled for - i don't think we need a history lesson to discuss the holocaust, but saying bettman should be gassed is just plain stupid and ignorant.
as for the guy calling people idiots, well, it's quite ironic that you cannot even differentiate between your and you're. don't ya think?
