I'm sorry, I'm usually not this blunt but... has Chris Pronger always been such a douchebag? Did anyone see his interview after game 1? What a joke. He was/is an arrogant prick. I hope he gets hit like Eric Lindross. I'd love to see Byfuglien lay that clown out and clean his teeth out.

Re: Chris Pronger...
They were talking about that on WIP (philly sports talk) this morning. Moreso in a general way of Pronger not allowing the press to fashion a question so that it makes it look like something you said, when you didn't .... which I can appreciate, because, let's face it, journalism ain't journalism any longer. Pronger will not put himself in that position .... suggesting he is actually listening and thinking through the implications of a question versus blindly and quickly answering it. I admire that. -
Re: Chris Pronger...
I like the fact that he goes against the norm. And that even reporters are kind of scared with him and that he ridicules some of their questions in a playful way.
I met him at a Ducks charity event last year and he was very funny. He takes great pleasure that he is portrayed as a grand villain.

Re: Chris Pronger...
I love his antics in postgame interviews. All those guys are out to make something out of nothing anyway, so might as well have fun with it.
Now if I was a journalist, it'd be hell to interview him. But as just a fan, it's awesome.

Byfuglien lay our Pronger? Please pass over some of that stuff you're smoking.
Pronger controls the media rather than letting them control him. Plain and simple."And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!"Comment

Re: Chris Pronger...
He apparently also controls the refs because he seems to be able to blatantly interfere with players and use his stick as a tool to clear the ice of pesky opponents without ever drawing a penalty. I will say he's pretty damn good at disguising it. But he does it - all game long.
I've hated his guts since the Wild-Ducks series a couple years back. What a douche.Comment

Re: Chris Pronger...
I have a feeling if Chris was on your team you would love him. In fact I wonder if we can find some old post about Chris and see what the Flyers fans had to say about him. I bet that would be very interesting reading.

Re: Chris Pronger...
Pronger is a straight G.
He does douchey stuff and is dirty, but I like it.
This is playoff hockey. He's trying to get in the minds of the Hawks, althought it hasn't really worked.Comment

Re: Chris Pronger...
Clearly he is doing his job if he is being called out about something (See Ben Eager)

Re: Chris Pronger...
First off, I'd take Pronger on my team in a heartbeat. Sure, he's a giant douchebag but success follows the man around for a reason. What is this, his 3rd SC finals appearance in 5 seasons? Pretty impressive.
But I do find it hilarious with all the stuff he gets away with. You could call an interference penalty on him every shift if you wanted to.
Last night there was a blatant one that wasn't called when Versteeg forechecked in during a PK. He put his stick right across Versteeg's waist and steered him away from the puck so his defensive partner could get it.
That's textbook interference.
But like I said, while he infuriates me with his shenanigans (firing pucks into defenders skates during dump in's), I'd take him on the Wings without any question.Comment
