Jibblescribbits posted this today after finding it at Bethany’s. I’d assume it’s ‘98 or early ‘99.

Two more cups and they’ll retire it. Maaaaybe if he wins one more. But it doesn’t look like they’re retiring Shanahan’s since they’re giving #14 to Meech, and Shanny won 3, so might be they’re keeping the standard extremely high (i.e., at least 90% of career spent in Detroit).

It’s a shame he didn’t stick to his word.
Man, I love Cheli.

Ah, good Cheli. Some things do change for the better. The man was Claude Lemieux to Wings fans before Claude Lemieux was anything more than an annoying Devil, and now Cheli’s walking around wearing “Made in Detroit” t-shirts.
I swear, in a million years, I never would have imagined that Chris Chelios is a Red Wing, but he still is a Red Wing.
You’ve gotta admit, though, that the day the Wings brought Chelios and Ulfie Samuelsson and Wendy Clark was one of the strangest days in Red Wings fandom history…

I remember sitting at a Whalers game two days later, seeing someone wearing a Wings Cheli jersey and just laughing to myself at how quickly peoples’ tune will change.
Then, when it happened in Colorado, when the Avs got Brad May, the fans didn’t warm up to him like I expected them to. I never understood that. I always thought it was a bad move from a hockey standpoint, but Avs fans unilaterally loathed that move.
Fandom is a weird thing.
