ND was slow to offer him, but UofM, OSU and some other schools wanted him. Plays against good competition but might be a little light (right now) to play right away.

Ever since he's left we really haven't been able to be patient down low with the puck on the PP. He will also create some more 5 on 5 chances for Shanny and whoever he's playing with. Can't wait...

Agree to disagree but i mean honestly if you think that was clean then you must be accustomed to some very dirty hockey. Sticking out your leg isn't clean. Even Calgary fans on this board said that if he wasn't on their team they'd have been upset about that play.

Chellios really doesn't play dirty these days, unless he's taking exception to somebody. Matt Schneider is probably the guy who lays out the most 2-handers for us. Who we really miss is Jiri Fischer. He would have been our only big, physical defensemen and he had a mean streak to him.
