At age 48, Chelios finally hangs up the skates

In NHL history, only Hall of Famer Gordie Howe was older than Chelios when he played, skating at 52 for the Hartford Whalers during the 1979-80 season almost a decade after leaving the Red Wings.
Chelios also is the only player in NHL history to appear in at least 400 games with three different teams. Known for his strict workout regimen and surprising endurance given his age, he played the fourth-most regular season games in NHL history (1,651) and the most postseason games in NHL history (266).

Kenny Powers is back


Mark September 17th down on your calendars if you’re a fan of the HBO Show Eastbound & Down because Kenny Powers is back in action, and that sombrero tells us that the season will take place down Mexico way. I didn’t even know Tijuana had a professional baseball team.

Wear Your Love for Superdawg

Sometimes, we love so deeply that our love must be proclaimed. We’re speaking, of course, of our local lust for deep dish from Gino's, the unignorable craving for a wiener from Superdawg, or the deep hunger that can be satisfied only with a piled-high corned beef sandwich from Manny's. Now, you can take a deep breath, steel your nerves, and announce your gustatory proclivities thanks to a t-shirt series from faux-vintage purveyor Hometown Classics. At $28 a pop, they're not cheap (in fact, Manny's sells an identical version of their shirt for eight bucks less), but can you really put a price on true love?

Should the Blackhawks keep Niemi?



GM Stan Bowman had 48 hours to either keep Antti Niemi at $2.75 million or let him walk as an unrestricted free agent and go after a veteran goalie such as Marty Turco. Rumor has it, we signed Marty Turco to a 1 year at $1.65 million!!!!!
