HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 I would love to see them drop to the 7th seed so we could see a Sharks - Ducks 1st round matchup. That would be beyond amazing. Have those two go at it for seven games with of course the Sharks winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Burke and the Duck's have had ample time to rest players this year thats for sure. Teemu and Niedermayer get the luxury of working the system and missing half the year and now Pronger gets this joke of a suspension to rest up before the playoffs start. Burke and Campbell must have some mutual man love going on for each other thats for sure!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 This is absolutely disgusting. A shame and insult to all fans of the NHL. This is exactly the reaction they wanted, an uproar over not recieving a suspension. Then magically a new video is revealed, seriously in todays super technology how does it tkae 24hrs for this video to leak? BAM! There will be just Colin Campbell is reviewing the tape. Telephone hearing for Pronger, BTW did you know that Simon had to show in person? So then wham a HUGE 8 game suspension and the fans of the NHL shrug thier shoulders and say well I would have liked more but 8 is better then nothing. If no one does not think this was planned from the start to be able to let Pronger play is nieve. Once again this ass bag gets over, once again Burke gets over, and once agian the dirty ass ducks get over. Did you know that the Ducks have over a hundred more PIM's then any other NHL team. 500 more then the lowest. Incredible disappointment. As fans we should not except this. As fans we deserve a fair league, as fans we deserve impartial punishment. We deserve better. We lost a player for games in the playoff's last year and could have been longer and he lost one games. TWICE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegend19 1 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 That's it? I guess it's better than nothing. They couldn't suspend him any longer, the league needs him back for the playoffs. Otherwise, Detroit would win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiff_luvs_homer 5 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Pronger is a punk and they need to make an example of him and kick his ass out of the league... We don't need players like him out there making dirty hits and trying to hurt other players. Call it quits Pronger, you're a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glasgowcelticwing 18 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Glad he got punished but not happy about the length of the suspension . he shouldn't be able to play again till next season . the guy is a thug and a bully and should be made an example of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chairman Maouth 97 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 My favourite comment from a Ducks fan: "How many games does Kesler get for his intent to injure Pronger by putting a leg lock on him?

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Maybe he should sioux for lost wages? If he does that, the Black Hawks might be the only team willing to sign him.

Chase 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Thought this was funny, from a TSN article. At the bottom they list the career suspensions for Pronger, and one of them being: March 14, 2004 - With St. Louis, one regular-season game for kicking Calgary F Ville Nieminen. Seriously?? Kicking?? Was he throwing a temper tantrum?? This guy is such a loser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Maybe he should sioux for lost wages? My LOL moment of the day! This is just a band aid measure on the part of the league to stem the outcry against this crap yet not seriously do anything about it when it involves a player with some recognition. I can only tell Mr. Pronger that karma is a *****. Remember that ACL tear, Chris? That's just the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you sign a player who uses his stick and skate to chip away at his opponents? Depends, if you run out of bathroom supplies you could always use Simon's contract as t.p.!Speaking of weapons for defense, on a side note i think the Hawks could use someone like Poti next year.
