Chelios and Roberts Meet Again

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

Every 20 years or so--or in this case 19—Gary Roberts and Chris Chelios play against each other for the Stanley Cup.

It happens about as often as all-Canadian final, which it happened to be when Roberts and Chelios met for the Cup in 1989.

For Chelios, this really is nothing new. He has rings older than Evgeni Malkin and trips to the final with Montreal and Chicago in ‘89 and 1992, and of course, a Cup ring from the Red Wings six years ago.

But for Roberts, this wait has almost been forever. From the time he won his first and only professional championship, so much has happened.

No mention of the ‘86 Habs? Simmons is as shoddy as ever.
