BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 As I'm watching the NHL on NBC, Pronger has, to a certain extent, neutralized Crosby and in fact laid a decent hit on him that Crysby immediately whined about. My question to LGW is this: who, between Pronger and Crosby, do you hate more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holmstrom96 347 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Easy, Crosby. For the simple fact that Pronger isn't force-fed to use by the NHL and NBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ZetterbergFourty Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Wow what a tough one. Probably Pronger. As much of a ***** as Sid is, he's far more entertaining to actually watch play in a game. Besides, I've had a long standing hate-on for Pronger, Crosby's is just beginning really, he hasnt been around that long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Cindy has never gone for the Captain's knees (or any body part he knew to be weak) with intent to injure. Cindy has never blamed physics for, putting someone's head into the glass and laughed about it. I make fun of Cindy, just because it is the in thing to do. I actually like the guy and feel he will grow into the role into which he has been thrust. I respect his talent. His mistakes are just that- mistakes. Bad hockey etiquette, Bettman-fed opinions- those are annoying. He's not a villain. I hate Pronger. Yeah, he's got talent. That's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 I wasn't sure until this promo came on NBC about Sid winning the cup and getting injured.. My hate for Pronger kind of evaporated after he went to Philly.. especially since now all of his dirty plays are on Crosby.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Gotta go with Crosby on this one. He beat us last year and I can't stand seeing that clip of him hoist the cup with his T-Rex sized smile. Its a respectful hate though... the kind of player you love to hate. Pronger you just plain hate. Going with Crosby on this one.... but to be honest there's a few other players out there I'm starting to hate more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 I picked neither. Crosby doesn't annoy me like the rest of the slap-happies here. I would have said Pronger if he finally didn't act like a true professional in last year's playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltgator333 3 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 I voted for Pronger. The Yzerman hit/fail being the one time I've seen Pronger get what he deserved. When Dmitri Mironov stopped Pronger's heart, I felt slightly bad for him. I would've took a broken rib instead. Pronger has years of cheap play behind him to back him up, and is the candidate to vote for here. He is, to me, the stereotypical prick and a perfect Philli Flyer. JMO, he would've fit in with the broadsteet bullies just fine. Crosby, either the actual man himself or the one the NHL PR paints and crams down everyone's thoat, is talented but largely harmless. If you don't mind the BS it doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theophany 110 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Crosby, just because of Millbury/McGuire have orgasms when they talk about him. Also, because Millbury called him a "great two-way player". WHAT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Crosby, just because, no matter how much I hate Pronger, Id want a D man like him on our team any day (not him but someone like him). On the other hand, there are atleast 5 players id want in an offensive role above Crosby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beepbeep 3 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 PRONGER! Last year that would have been a lot tougher one to answer. At that time I couldn't stand Cindy because he recieved all the hype from the league and Datsyuk and Zetterburg got zilch but after watching our two star players sink into mediocrity when the team needed them to step up and carry it this season I'm resigned to the fact they obviously get the print they deserve....Still don't like the ******* NUT PUNCHER but Pronger is lower than amoebae s***.

Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 New Drinking game. Over the course of an NHL broadcast on NBC, take a shot of hard liquor everytime you see a commercial with Crosby. My god. I'd love to play but I have to work the next 5 days. Should of caught me early Thursday on a 4 day weekend for this game. Anyway, my vote is for Schlonger. Crysby is a whiny cheapshot artist *****. But, Schlonger is a whiny cheapshot artist ***** with intent to injure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 Pronger. He's one of the better d-men out there but he's also a dirty cheap shot artist. As much as Crosby is spoonfed to us when it's stuff like "Crosby can turn water into wine" instead of just "Crosby is a great hockey player", it doesn't bother me as much as others and I think the whining about him is just as bad sometimes, if not worse.
