Adam Burish: Chris Pronger Is The Biggest Idiot In The League

Pronger is a boss. Words cannot describe how much I'd rather have his contract on the Wing's rather than Rafalski's. I know it would have never happened, but a guy can dream.

Pronger and his drama filled, atomic elbowing, contract can stay the hell away from this team.

Agreed.

Pronger Lidstrom as a top pairing would be unreal. They'd be an awesome combo to watch come playoffs.

Pronger would never accept to play in detroit, complete opposite kind of team he wants to be involved in...no surprise he liked anaheim and said he loves philly as well...he wouldn't enjoy the skilled euro puck-possestion game...

I remember Chelios saying he loved Philly and look how that turned out :P. No but really i cant see Pronger ever playing here with his personality i highly doubt he would mesh well with the rest of the team in the locker room. Kinda against the grain....just a little bit....

Is it me? or did this "I hate Pronger but want him on my team" mentality somehow magically start the year after he made the finals w/ a non rival? Or is it because he's on the East Coast now?

*shrug* Just seems to me that this time last year he was much more disliked.

no doubt. I think its because after watching him troll up the Hawks we started to find his antics funny now.

Yeah, because I hate all tough players.

I simply hate Chris Pronger because he is a cheapshotting *******.

In all honesty the only reason I seem to be so negative towards "tough guys" is because I have to point out the delusion posters like you have that having a "tough game" automatically makes you better than another guy. Colby Armstrong does not become good simply because you misconstrued his undisciplined play for "sandpaper aggressiveness that this team needs."

I've always wanted Pronger on the Wings. Even during his Duck years.

Haha well you would never see me saying I dont want a guy like Kessel on the wings even though he is pure skill and no grit. However you wouldn't take arguably the best defenseman in the league on your team because he's had some cheap shots on some red wings the last few years while theyve had a rivalry with the ducks.

You say I'm delusional because I like tough hockey players, but you wont take the best "tough" hockey player on your team. Really seems like Doc Holliday is anti toughness to me...

It's not like Pronger's pulled a Claude Lemieux-like cheapshot on a Detroit player.

Excactly, he did hit homer pretty good but thats nothing HUGE by any means to not take one of the best on your team. So what he cross checks infront of the net and pisses people off. He's also led s***ty teams to the playoffs, won a hart, and been clutch too.

But no he's too "dirty" for this team

I have always had a special disdain for Pronger (not so much anymore now that he's in the East) but you're crazy if you wouldn't like it if he wore the Winged wheel.

Then I'm firmly in the "crazy" camp. I put up with Chelios, I put up with Bertuzzi, thank God I didn't really have to put up with Hatcher, but swear to God if Pronger played here, I'd quit watching until he was done. I can't stand that SOB no matter where he is.

I think the negatives outweigh the positives.

Either way it doesn't matter because Pronger would never play here.

You are "delusional" because you use overrate toughness to the nth degree. And I never said I don't want Pronger because he is "tough". You are using the fact Pronger is tough and making it up a the reason I would not want him on the team.

No I overrate toughness on this board to try to get it through the thick skull of some posters on here that a team needs balance, you on the other hand severely underrate it. I don't know how I overrate toughness really to be honest, I say I would like it on the team in the form of guys like Abdelkader but I never say we should trade Datsyuk for Boogard or anything.

I would like to see you point out a time when I actually really overrate toughness honestly

I don't know if you overrate it but it does seem to be the only thing you care about.

Nah its pretty much the only thing I talk about with our prospects, which youve taken notice of. Other then that, unless its a thread about toughness then I dont bring it up.

Theres so many people on this board who actually think tough hockey is good hockey but there are a few who don't and those few for some reason think they are in the majority. And they continuously try to make tough hockey advocates seem stupid for whatever reason. I used to not say anything now I'm just gonna keep talking about it because I'm sick of guys like Doc Holliday undervaluing what toughness can do for a team.

And I think its funny because I never say I want a useless 13th forward goon on our team either.
