Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) So both Pronger and Ott received 13% of the votes for dirtiest player, from the players.. The fan poll on TSN currently shows... Steve Ott - 7.6% Chris Pronger - 52.4% Jarkko Ruutu - 13.5% Sean Avery - 19% Scott Hartnell - 2.7% Other - 4.5% Looks like the fans think even less of him.

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Pronger said it was possibly based more on his past than his present (he has only six penalty minutes in the 2009 playoffs, for example – none of them against Detroit). Extremely valid gripe, to be honest. Pronger, other than looking like a goon, hasn't been goonish at all this series.

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=277623 Chris Pronger and Steve Ott are the dirtiest players in the National Hockey League, according to a survey of their fellow players. A Sports Illustrated poll of 324 players that is to appear in this week's issue has Anaheim Ducks defenceman Pronger and Dallas Stars forward Ott in a tie, each chosen by 13 per cent of their peers. Jarkko Ruutu of the Ottawa Senators was third at 12 per cent, with Sean Avery of the New York Rangers fourth at 10 per cent, followed by Scott Hartnell of the Philadelphia Flyers at five per cent. Pronger, the Hart Trophy winner as the league's most valuable player in 1999-2000, has been suspended eight times in his career. During the 2007 playoffs alone, he was banned one game for a questionable hit on Detroit's Tomas Holmstrom and got another game in the final for an elbow to the head of Ottawa's Dean McAmmond. In March, 2008, Pronger was suspended eight games for stomping on the leg of Vancouver's Ryan Kesler. Ott's most recent transgression was a one-game suspension for gouging the eye of Anaheim's Travis Moen on March 1. With 35 minor penalties in 64 games, Ott had the highest ratio of penalties among those who played at least 50 games. The pesky Ruutu was suspended two games in November for an elbow to the head of Montreal's Maxim Lapierre, then got two games in January for biting the hand of Buffalo enforcer Andrew Peters during an altercation. Avery dominated the poll last year with 24 per cent of the votes but missed much of this season when he was sent for counselling after making crude comments in Calgary about opponents dating his former girlfriends. Hartnell, a power forward who likes to crowd the net, had 143 penalty minutes this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted May 6, 2009 new player poll. Anybody registered on the Ducks board? This would be a great time to post the article seeing as those s***bags are convinced the Wings are the dirtiest team ever and Holmstrom is the dirtiest player ever. I continue to be amazed at the fact that they think Homer hit Wiz on purpose, and even more amazed that they keep harping on the fact that Wiz was already hurt and that makes it doubly worse. Excuse me, how the feck does Homer know what's going on with Wiz? For all anybody knows Homer didn't even see the shot hit Wiz in the first place. I fecking loathe Ducks fans and their stupidity. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=277623 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
