Rate this topic

Pronger: "Waaaah! Waaaaah! Woe is me! They're being mean to me! Waaaaah! Burkey, go make 'em stop being mean to me! Waaaaah!"

And then making up stuff about Edmonton fans burning his kid's crib? Wow. Stay classy, Anaheim.

I like the comment that says "Pronger proved himself to be a major league ******* last year in the playoffs." Get real, Pronger proved that long before last year's playoffs!

The more I find out about him, the more I'm convinced that he wants everyone to hate him. Pronger will probably end his career with fans in just about every NHL city despising him. :lol:

Pronger for president :thumbup:

I didn't think it was possible even for Ducks fans to think he's not a dirty player... And an *******.

I bet if he played for Edmonton still and pulled a Pronger on one of your Ducks you wouldn't feel the same way.

I don't care how much or how loudly I get yelled at for this post, but if there was ever a realistic trade where every team benefits or a chance to pick up Chris Pronger to help out the Red Wings, I'd be pretty happy in getting him. I am not saying to make it a priority to go after this guy, speaking pretty much in the hypothetical sense. I apologize ahead of time for the long post length, necessary to justify my reasoning to hopefully reduce the number of yells or reduce the decibel level of yells. And no I am not on any medications or take any drugs and am perfectly sober with this post.

DISCLAIMER I: This, in no way/shape/form, does not imply that I excuse the hits he put on Detroit and Ottawa in the playoffs that yielded suspensions or some of his questionable hits, or his attempted hit on Yzerman's knee in the 2002 playoffs that completely backfired, so do not reply back to me "BUT HE IS A CHEAP SHOT ARTIST DIRTY PLAYER WHY WOULD YOU WANT SOMEBODY LIKE THAT YOU STUPID SOUTHERNWINGSFAN!" I get it, and I perfectly understand that he is not liked in here. I'm sorry though, the attitude towards him in here is so over the top ridiculous at times.

DISCLAIMER II: No, I am not implying either that by being open to getting Pronger I want the Red Wings to turn to the Broadstreet Bullies. Nor would they just magically turn into them if they ever got Pronger.

He has good qualities that people in here have whined about night and day in the past that the Wings often lack (or have lacked depending on how you want to look at it)…size and aggressive hitting. You take the good along with the bad with him, and I think his good would far outweigh his bad.

Is he my favorite player? No, far from it.

Do I just absolutely dispise him? I'm sorry to not go with the popular trend here, but no. Again, I don't encourage some of the things he has done in the past, but they happened, he and the Ducks won last year despite us not liking it. It's over and done with. I've moved on from what he did in 2002 and these past playoffs. As fun as it might be for many, I just don't or can't completely hate a player or team, it's just something I don't like to involve myself with. I'm not trying to say I'm better than other fans due to thinking or "behaving" differently and I understand why people might hate certain athletes, I just don't do that kinda stuff. It's just too over the top sometimes. Only person that comes kinda close is Claude Lemieux. :P

Is he one of the better defensemen in the league today? I think so, it's kind of difficult to argue against it. As much as I don't like what he did and as much as he is a top-5 public enemy in here, I would welcome him to the Red Wings as I think he would help the team and I'd put any personal bad vibes toward him aside. The team is more important than any one player that we might absolutely utterly adore, or utterly hate in this case.

Chelios was a hated enemy back in the day, now we enjoy his presence on the Red Wings. Not saying that would be the case if Pronger was ever actually here, but it's normal to hate the enemy obviously until he plays for your team. :P

I didn't read the article, but I heard Rome's replay of the interview yesterday, or at least the highlights. Maybe it's a bad joke on Pronger's part, but I just don't believe Edmonton fans burned his belongings. It seems to me that it's Pronger who can't let it go. He's a good defenceman, but he's dirty. I have very little respect for him as a hockey player. Because I have such an emotional investment in my teams, I wouldn't want him on the Wings no matter what.
