IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 Holy crap -- I hadn't even seen this second video until now. It's even worse than I thought. Ok, you might be able to argue the first stomp was accidental, but the second? Can anyone watch this video and say it was not intentional? Duck Guy look at both video's and if you can still tell me there is a slight differance you should be banned from the forum for complete homerism.

T-o-o-l i have never seen that second part where they zoom it in and it is clearly a stomp and is right up there with what simon did.

What I love is that 93% of the people voting on the "should he be suspended" poll think he should. How does this not sink in for Colin "Crackhead" Campbell?

That's just speculation by TSN. Frankly I'd be amazed if they admitted that they came out too early saying he wouldn't be suspended and now disciplined him based on this evidence.

I've lost all faith that the league is willing, or even capable, of handing out anything like real justice. Campbell isn't answerable to anyone and it shows.

Mors 201 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 Absolute travesty, I don't know what the NHL is trying to prove with their lack of consistency, but this is an embarrassment to the league. I don't care what it sounds like, I hope Pronger has a career ending injury as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot stand seeing the sport I love so much suffering from stupidity and favortism and racism. Certain teams with certain nationality or popularity get special priviliges. I apologize for calling names it was very childish. I truly just get so upset by this. I am considering not watching the sport anymore. With all the calls that the wings get and the lack of for other teams just crushes me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 O.o It is not qouting you right. Like I said I have always had respect for your comments. I don't think you take our side everytime and actually your view would be less interesting if you did. I do think Giggy's pads are huge but so is 90% of the goalies in the NHL, I think Dipietro has been in trouble for illegal pads once or twice. I think Gigs is a good goaltender but I agree with Martin Broduer when he says that all pads should be cut down in size. I was not excited when Perry got injured, I like him as a player. I think Geztlaf is a great player and it still pisses me off that the ducks signed both Schnieder and Bertuzzi from us when I wanted both to stay. Again, apologies.

12Newf 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 i was talking about this with 3 friends and we were split 50/50 on intent with me saying he did it on purpose. granted this was on the evidence from the first video. now i was thinking maybe im biased because i loathe chris pronger but then i went on tsn and looked at the user comments on the first article where it said he would face no discipline and i couldnt find ANYONE saying they thought campbell made the right call. im fuming over this, how can this incident be ignored.? maybe its just because right now im so insanely pissed but i agree with Mors...i hope someone ends his career.

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 After seeing the second video I can officially say that it is worse than what Simon did. Harder stomp on a more vulnerable area. There should be a suspension coming, or I'm calling for a "every team goon it up against the Ducks" protest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 I know I read this in a sports opinion column somewhere and can't for the life of me remember where, but the suggestion might be valid... Does anyone think Chris Pronger should be "randomly" tested for steroids about now? His outbursts of anger are eerily reminiscent of "roid rage". If it ain't roid rage, he simply has SERIOUS anger issues that need to be worked out - off the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
awingsincebirth 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 What I simply CANNOT understand is why the hell the league was sooo fast to come to a decision about this. Considering the facts that this immediately drew obvious comparisons to an incident earlier in the year that warranted a NHL record 30 game suspension, it is clearly a sensitive, critical issue. Why the hell would the league not recognize that give the situation the attention that deserves - that it requires? (Rhetorical question, because I'm pretty sure we all know why) I find it incredibly hard to believe that the league would not have had access to the latest view of the incident - in which it becomes incredibly clear to EVERYONE that the intent was there - when they made their decision. And at this point, to give the league the benefit of the doubt when it comes to issues such as this seems almost naive. Either a) the powers that be made far to rash a decision without getting all the possible information before coming to a conclusion, or b) there is some "Protect Pronger" (and the Ducks) coalition that exists in the league office that is polluting the game that we love. Either way, something has to happen, and in my opinion, heads should roll. (But, of course, they won't) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deke 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Gotta agree with Duck Guy on this one. Dont get me wrong...Pronger is a complete dumbass, but he had every right to go after him on this particular play. You don't shoot the puck after the whistle has not only blown, but *clearly* blown. That's retarded. Push the guy then. Give him a face wash. Punch him if you have to. Do things normal hockey players do. What you DON'T do is use the sharpened steel blade on the bottom of your foot to do anything but skate with. Ever. Period. End of story. There is no circumstance ever which warrants a hockey player using their skate for anything but skating. If you don't agree, get the f*** out of my sport. It doesn't matter if this was pronger or datsyuk. If any of the wings did this I would come down twice as hard on them because you don't expect it from them. What is starting to piss me off more than how much I hate pronger's style of play are the fans who defend his actions. Edited March 14, 2008 by Deke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therock48880 14 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 How was Laraque's elbow in relation to Pronger's elbow against Dean McAmmond last post-season? That was a pretty brutal and blatant cheap shot and Pronger only got a single game for it. GREAT point! Laraque gets three games, Pronger gets 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therock48880 14 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 What bugs me, and someone mentioned this earlier, is eventually someone is going to cheapshot the idiot and something VERY serious could result. (Steve Moore, for example). If you think back to the Moore/Bertuzzi thing, the Canucks were irate that the league didn't do anything to Moore for his cheap shot on Naslund. So, look what happened. I don't want that to happen to anyone, including Pronger, but eventually someone will snap if the league doesn't step in and discipline him for his cheapshots. Imho, of course.

up2here 41 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 Little know fact about this incident is that Kesler got up and stomped Pronger in the face,but his skate went through the gap in his teeth and fell off into his stomach. He s*** it out later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who would defend what Pronger did (which, I'm guessing is most Duck fans) don't belong as fans of our sport. Luckily for us - seeing as they are DUCKS FANS - they probably really aren't anyways. Although I would be interested to see if Ducks fans have changed their tones at all since the latest evidence has come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
