Bad Timing Chris Chelios

from Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press,

Then, just four days after announcing he was leaving the Wings and planned on visiting Detroit whenever he could, Chelios took a job Monday as a Blackhawks ambassador.

Really, Cheli? Four days? Couldn’t wait just a little longer for the tears in Detroit to dry? I assumed he would take a job with the Blackhawks eventually. But four days?

This feels like it was orchestrated from the start. Maybe it wasn’t. Maybe the timing was just an incredible coincidence.

But if Chelios’ job with the Hawks was already in the works last week, he should have waited to announce his move and his new job at the same time.
