Pronger Stomp?

Eric_Isles · BRHL2 Co-Commish

tough. I don't think the camera angle does any justice to either side of the argument.

I'd like to give him the benfit of the doubt. However, I do think he has recently played with a chip on his shoulder since his facial injury.

i think the fact he was more pissed about his wife finding out about that reporter in edmonton... now he has to find a new release for all that pent up energy :P

Too me it looks like he was just tangled up with Kesler and he slipped up while trying to skate away.

Here is a better version of it....

The first time he landed on Kesler's leg it looked like he did it by accident when he went back the second time and "stomped" it looks like he did that on purpose since Kesler wasn't letting him just skate away, if you watch Prongers head it is looking right at Keslers leg. While I don't think he should get 30 games he should at least get something.

Pronger has been suspended indefinately! Team 1040 in Vancouver is saying 10 games.

Man I dont know why this is blowing up, as much as I can't stand pronger, 10 games is a joke. I guess he is a repeat offender.

Sens · Guru

If Simon gets 30 how is Pronger getting 10 a joke?? He could of easily of ended Kesler career just as Simon could of easily of ended Ruutu's.

Expecially with 2 guys in the NHL this year alone missing major time due to large gashes in their legs from skates. Someone trying to do that on purpose must be dealt with.

I might be wrong, it's happened before. I just don't think he should get 10. I think 5 max, around what havlat got for his kick, what did havlat get?

I think 10 is a little heavy as well. But Pronger sure seems to get away with a lot in terms of suspension in the NHL. Sure he is a "star player" (although I dont know who buys tickets to see a big dman), but the double standard needs to be a little less obvious....

8 games, too much? too little?

thus far 80% of people visiting the TSN site think it wasn't enough

8 games is enough.

WildJamie · Senior Member

Does it matter? Is the point of the suspension to prevent Pronger from intentionally hurting someone? He has proven time and time again that his brain does not work in that way.... he has a short fuse and he will do something stupid again. I don't have a solution these guys that cannot help themselves (Simon and Pronger are both the same), but let's just hope someone doesnt get a career ending injury or killed by one of these guys before they retire....
