BREAKING NEWS: Holy Shit! Chris Pronger Live Press Conference 12 PM ET Just Announced

He was a damn good player, not sure why all the hate.
You guys know he is the first defenseman to win the Hart trophy since Bobby Orr.
He is a 1st ballot hall of famer imo. 6 time all star, Stanley Cup champ, 2 tiime gold medalist, went to the finals with 3 different teams...

Guy can't even score 15 goals in the NHL.

HOF'er...he's not even a Top 20 D-man all time.

Philly's offense-first style of hockey is the reason they won't win a stanley cup in near future

Pronger will never win a Cup.

He has no peripheral vision. If he comes back, he'll get cleaned out in one of the first shifts. He should just retire like the giant pussy that he is and skate off into hockey irrelevancy like most other players with a longterm home or Cup.

The sad thing, it's going to be a debate of whether this guy's number should be retired and by whom. He didn't play long enough besides STL to justify it. He also didn't win a Cup

WTF, learn your hockey and get your facts right, before you trash a great player, punk!

Pronger being called a great player. Great goon yes

PhillyFlyers · 03-08-13, 05:14 PM

Pronger easily one of the greatest defensemen ever.

How many defensemen in the history of the game have won an MVP?

Vegas39 · 03-08-13, 05:21 PM

Only thing Pronger great at is milking money from a shit team.( and banging sbr mods) No shock since same shitty organization is paying 51 million for a washed up goaltender

Who cares, that would make Jose Theodore one of the greatest goalies too.
Pathetic loser choked in the 1st round that year. They had to find someone on that pathetic team to give it to.

Maybe Top 50, maybe.

14 goal, 62 point MVP, pathetic. Even more pathetic is that's his best year.

Judging by your avatar, Go back to watch Nascar, its more up your ally. Pronger is/was a great player in the league. Calling him a goon, well coming from a guy with a Nascar avatar. Can't really argue with you....

This is one of the dumbest statements I've ever read on SBR.

Pronger is EASILY one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

He took a nothing Edmonton to the Cup finals almost by himself.

He took the Flyers there his first season in Philly.

This is a defenseman we're talking about mind you. Not a goalie, not a center.

It is absurd to think of him as anything other than truly great and anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the game of hockey and it's history acknowledges this fact.
