miller76 463 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 The Tribune ran this: link Chicago Tribune link The Philadelphia Flyers' star defenseman is hardly celebrating his portrayal Tuesday in a Chicago Tribune poster, though. It shows Pronger wearing a skirt beside a bold headline that declares, ``Chrissy Pronger. Looks like Tarzan, skates like Jane.''``I don't read what you guys write, good or bad,'' Pronger said Tuesday. ``I really couldn't care, to be honest with you. I'm worried about playing the game.''

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Bah, we've been making pics of Pronger like that for years. Just another case of Hawks fans wanting to be like us. 2 55fan and Konnan511 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChitownWingsfan 54 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 The Trib shouldn't have run it, period. While it might be funny, it belongs in the blogosphere and message boards, not in one of the largest newspapers in the country. Most Hawks fans I've talked to feel the same way, which was a big surprising to be honest. 1 miller76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Although hilarious, the Chicago media has been a downright joke these playoffs... from the billboard to this, it's almost like they're taunting the hockey gods... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest screwdahawks Report post Posted June 9, 2010 I can't believe they are sooooooooooo ******* stupid running something like that. Now I know why beer commercials are so stupid, they're aimed at the the dumbest segment of society , the American male sports fan.......Women are having a fit about this and I don't blame them. Major newspaper???????? 1 miller76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest micah Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Stupid. The Tribune cannot post stuff like this AND be seen as a trusted unbiased mature news source. I am as guilty of anyone of declaring that certain players look like or act like or skate like women and are therfor inferior - but I expect better out of a nationally circulated newspaper. If you have a problem with Pronger (or anyone else), have Eager (or anyone else) leave him in a bloody pile on the ice, the way it's always been done. 3 miller76, Zeowingsfan and Uncle Danny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Even the writers of the Trib don't know how to act when their team is a game away from winning the Holy Grail. Funny yet a fail all at the same time. Chicago can't class up a damn thing other than the standing ovation they gave Galarraga last night. for that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Even though I hate his guts, Pronger has played his butt off in this series and the only ones who look small, stupid and scared are the idiots who decided this was funny and/or representative of his play.
