It's no secret that Hockey Hall of Famer and former Blackhawks defenseman Chris Chelios could do it all as a player. One of his former teammates in Chicago, NBC Sports Chicago Hawks analyst and color commentator Steve Konroyd, provided more insight on what a rare breed of blueliners he was.
"Just an all-around player," Konroyd said over the phone recently. "When you think of (Denis) Savard, it's all offense. But with with Cheli, it was offense, it was defense, it was toughness and being an instigator. It was getting under the skin of the opposition. I mean, he could do all those things.
