AILD Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Actually, re-reading my initial post...it was a little stupid. There's not too many players I hate in the league, but Pronger is one of them. To say he sucks is just wrong. I just don't understand the whole picking up the puck after the first two games. My only thought is that he was trying to put the target on himself so Chicago would (1) take stupid penalties or (2) go after him which would free up space for the scorers such as Carter, Richards, Briere, Gagne, etc.... I guess maybe it worked for games 3 & 4, but Pronger had a horrible game 5. What was he -5? On the ice for 6 of Chicago's goals and in the box for the 7th. It's apparent the pounding he took from Byfuglien and a few others had an impact. I loved it! One of the announcers hit the nail on the head though, I forget who it was, but he was talking about how Pronger plays so dirty that the refs have let him get away with it for so long, they can't start calling it now. Oh well, no sense crying about it. It's a physical game. That's what makes hockey "hockey" I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
