Chris wrote about this night in his book. He was clearly very hurt, and said he had a longer speech but decided to scrap it when he saw how uncomfortable one of his daughters looked. The fans in Chi town must be pretty intense! Then again Theo wrote in his book how much Support he got from Hawks Fans when he played there despite his addictions. Either way Hawks fans have Passion.
@@davidkruse4030 those are not bandwagon fans. Those are die hard fans who remember him saying he would never play for Detroit. Hockey is one sport left where these people, like the fans, still don't like each other. Love Cheli, but actions have consequences.
Wow Chicago is a tough crowd but i remember you as a capt on the black hawks and when your a kid just playing is cool enough I seen you on ducks movie nhl 97 and hawks game on tv thank you
there were only a couple of boos.... it doesn't matter, we got our cups even though he bounced to detroit... only guy i wished could have been there was roenick... he and belfour and amonte were my favorites as a kid.... and jeremy was SUPER emotional after the blackhawks got the cup
JR should have been on the 10 team. his last year was 09. it was clear the Hawks were a Cup contender in 10. they should have given him a 4th line spot.
this is what you get when you go to play for the detroit from the blackhawks... he said he will never go to the detroit and a week later he signs with them.. something that true blackhawks fans never forget.....
all these people saying the fans are classless never had their hero break a promise and THEN come back to rub it in chicago’s face? Thatd be like a Cubs hall of famer leaving for the Cardinals, winning multiple championships there, then coming back to wrigley for a thank you. Nah.... keep on goin. I was at this game and booed my loudest 😂
@@TylerStoneking56FIBS are classless. It's not just this situation. Chris Chelios is an all timer and to boo him after the years he gave the team says everything about shitcagoans
it would have been like Yzermam saying, “ill never go to the Hawks,” publicly, then doing it, THEN coming back to Detroit looking for thank yous. Had he not dome a special press conference saying he WOULDNT go to detroit, then signed there a week later....it woulda never happened. Period.
@@TylerStoneking56 He didn't do a special press conference, it was an offhand response to a question several months prior to the trade. Also the only reason that Chelios even entertained a trade is because the Hawks refused to extend his contract. The only reason he waived his no trade clause to come to Detroit is because they were the only team willing to extend him. Chicago fans have smooth brains and forgot all this apparently and also forgot that Chelios is the best defenseman to play for them lol
why the fuck would they cheer him is a beloved redwing his heart is in detroit chicago doesnt owe him shit he might be from chicago but his home is detroit
I'm actually most surprised that those so called fans even knew who he was and gave him some kind of reaction. I guess they still have some fans that stuck with them from the older days after all.
No surprise. Blackhawks fans are the most classless in the NHL, They booed a moment of silence for Bill Wirtz for pete's sake. Bunch of fairweather fans that only care when the team is doing well.
That's not classless, that's earning respect. Chicago fans care about their sport and demand the same from their organization. Chelios betrayed his team then only wanted something to do with them when Chicago was winning and Detroit was losing. It's not being classess to lose respect for traitors. We aren't Cleveland fans who talked a bunch of crap when LaBron left yet welcomed him with open arms when he came back. Chicago would never be ok with that.
@@Kartracer6Shitcagoans are classless people in general. It's not just sports. You have no respect and you boo your own hall of famers. Chelios was traded. Chicago didn't want him.
He was on a local TV station litterally the day before saying he'd never play for another team, that he'd retire a Blackhawk, and he'd win a Stanley Cup here. All the while demanding (there is't enough bolding or capitalization to emphasize that word in this instance) to be traded to the Hawks most bitter rival. He had said earlier in his career that he'd rather die than play for the Red Wings. He's from the Chicago area. He was a bold faced liar and complete snake.
@@Zenon0K This was just before my time (I was born in 90) so I didn’t really get into the details until we won in 02. But Chelios was traded to the Wings no? I mean did he really have THAT much to do with him being shipped to the Wings?
@@RushAnthem69 Yes. He was the Captain and star player on an otherwise shit team, yet a situation that wasn't that bad back then. City wasn't being hard on the team, management wasn't breathing down their necks. It's his hometown. AKA no legitimate reasons to leave like some other stars had/have done without any hard feelings towards them.
@@Zenon0K Thanks for the info! In retrospect though management probably did not feel bad (knowing they didn’t have a good team) trading the 37 year old Chelios for 2 first round picks. I am sure it was harder on the fans though, when someone you love leaves it hurts (Fedorov leaving the Wings was a total backstab).
Wow just classless fans,but as Chelios said let bygones be bygones,just the type of player he was a true warrior a guy who put his heart and soul on the ice.I wish he would have spent more years with Montreal!!!
Let's not forget the continuous "Detroit Sucks" chant all night long. Little do their fans know, but the Blackhawk players have tremendous respect for the Red Wings.
@@davidkruse4030 Kane and Toews were kicked out by the new boy GM. They would not have been re-signed at any price. Kane intended to spend his whole career w the Hawks and break the team points record.
But the Hawks did not keep him, he came to Detroit. He did pretty good here on the Red Wings. But I must admit, he did look a LITTLE better in a Hawks Jersey. But then again, I am a Wings/Canadians fan that hate the Hawks, so that might explain it.
Boo him then and booed him again when they retired his number. Chris and I quote "I'll Always be part of the Red Wing family" Chelios. Let the Red Wings retire his number. He'll NEVER be accepted by us 300 level REAL Hawk fans. Same goes for you traitor Kane. Quit shoving Chelios down our throats Danny Wirtz. Your either a Blackhawk or a Red Wing. You can't be both. End of story.
I get what your saying brother with chelios, but Kaner won 3 cups with us and the division and conference re-alignment changes our rivalry with the wings a little, kaner in my heart will never be in chelios level of traitor he won with us bare
Yep 3 cups in 6 years and the most successful team last decade. Have fun missing the playoffs and being the worst team in the league yet again next season. That's exactly why you'll never see them win shit ever again. They'll be shit for years to come and you're the perfect example of why they and the fans don't deserve anything more.

He deserved it. Fuck him he simps for Detroit He made his bed and he can lay in it forever
Any team that wins 3 cups in 6 years is gonna have bandwagon fans. Just drop it they aren't even good anymore ya bozo.
Amazing. So many quality years in the NHL, as a 180 pound defenseman- defies human comprehension!

Amazing how after a team wins a championship they then can honor the former players who couldn't get it done before they won the title game. Jeez.

I thought they were booing when he mentioned the owners Wirtz

@RCMatthews93 like i really believe that
To Chicago fans: Were you guys salty when he went to Detroit? Im just curious as to why he was booed.
That's exactly why they were salty

chelios LIED to the fans. big mistake. they should never "honor" liars.
Except the ridiculous reactions by "fans" (its a frigging hockey sport ffs), i add that Chicago always had the ugliest logo. I guess they still do.
Ok, the Chicago logo rules.
I was at this game and it was hilarious 😂
dont leave the Hawks for the Red Wings and maybe this wont happen 🤷🏼♂️😂
he left for greener pastures
He prospered in Detroit. Thanks for getting rid of him....we really appreciate it

Proof that chicago fans are classless. Spoiled by two fluke cup victories this year and in 2010.
the Hawks had 3 Cups in 6 years and made 5 WCF in 7. they went 15-1 in game 6's. fluke lmao.
This is why it will be another 50 years before you win the cup. Chicago, just doesn't deserve it.
9 years later they won 3 cups. enjoy your drought idiot

Typical bandwagon Crackhawk "fans". I'm surprised that some of them even recognized Roenick correctly.
