haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I know most people here hate Pronger and think he's nothing but a cheapshot artist. And yes, in the interest of full disclosure, maybe I've had a ginger ale or three. But his post-game interviews are often entertaining. Don't you hate some of the stupid questions sportswriters ask? Well Pronger often makes them look stupid for asking it and has fun with it. In the game against the Kings tonight, he got hit from behind by Stoll in what definitely should've been a penalty (and I was rooting for the Kings). Here's his post-game comments. the guy clearly enjoys what he does for a living and doesn't take himself too seriously. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?&id=97603 Edited February 14, 2011 by haroldsnepsts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 A lot of questions are stupid, but their editors make them ask them, which is why you might hear the same question a dozen times. It's annoying but if you don't ask it, you don't write it. Pronger is a really funny guy and he's reallllly toned down his doucheness the past few seasons. he's one guy i use to hate, but wouldn't mind on the team because I think he's changed a lot the past few seasons.

achildr1 255 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 I would take Pronger in a heartbeat. I've grown up watching this guy being on of the only true 'franchise' defenseman whereever he goes. I mean seriously, he went to Edmonton for one year and they get a game from winning the Cup. I would be ecstatic if we traded for him today. One of the only real downsides is the contract length.

grwingfan 21 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 I hate Pronger like I hated Chelios. Then Cheli got to the Wings and i loved him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blueliner 69 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 I don't know if I hate him because he's a ****** bag or because he's not on the Red Wings and I really want him to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall 871 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 Wings fans hated Cheli before we got him. Wings fans hated Hatcher before we got him. I guarantee that the Wings fans would embrace Pronger if we got him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 I don't know if I hate him because he's a ****** bag or because he's not on the Red Wings and I really want him to be. Probably both? Though honestly, I don't even think he's a douchebag anymore. The guy plays on the edge, and sometimes over it, for sure. But as my hatred has faded and I could stand to hear him talk, he's actually a really smart hockey player. A season or two ago he wrote an article on the playoffs and his level of analysis was surprising. He sounded like a coach. Plus like I said, he seems really humble and having a good time in interviews. And I would absolutely love to have him on the Wings. Imagine Pronger and Lids on the ice together as a defensive pairing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
