  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand thats why people hate chris pronger.

  • fool

  • pronger is a bitch

  • KARMA IS A BITCH, PRONGER!!! I HOPE YOU NEVER PLAY AGAIN! WOOOOHOOO!!

  • he has his fucking arm towards his neck, he should have been suspenden for longer !!

  • Fuck pronger he is the biggest pussys on the NHL

  • Clean. rofl

  • Pronged is such a big bitch. Wings owned him his whole career

  • pronger is a douche

    

  • Old man Holmstrom should retire to Sweden if he can't take a little hit. He can than become a commentator and discuss how Forsberg broke 30 goal barier twice besides breaking his glass ankle.

  • Lemieux won the cup on NewJersey/Colorado and Montreal not bad for team's with no successsssss

  • what is succsess you illiterate MORONSSSSS

  • This hit was almost as good as an orgasm,,,seeing that ugly cheap snaggle toothed idiot drop to the ice was almost as great as Draper aka the dog faced boy get his face flattened by Claude ahahahahaha

  • @beelzeebub1

    ay pussy go suck a dick you fuck. pronger a dirty bitch and is lemiux. notice how they both come from teams with no succsess

  • @nahhas26 I believe Anihiem won the cup with Pronger on the team, and you must be talking about Claude Lemiux? And he was playing for the Devils when they won the cup! Not to mention Pronger has 2 gold medals from the Olympics, like his style or not, any team in the NHL would love to have him on there team!

  • 1 GAME WTF...he should have gotten off his suspension..like today

  • FUCK YOU PRONGER

    

  • Pronger Physics

  • anal :D

  • Nova's mome hates you :p

  • 1 fucking game? are you kidding me?

  • Im suprised Pronger didnt get... kronwalled the next game

  • Comment removed

  • The internet, where idiots gather.

  • @Jake2012RHS That's because the internet is merely a representation of our society and ourselves.

  • of course burke's gonna defend his player. but if he was the detroit gm, he wouldn't have the same opinion

  • i want fucking tsn...my sportscenter wouldnt even play hockey shit...im moving to canada

  • Pronger is a thug, enough said!

  • if burke was not the gm for the ducks and was for the red wings he would be fliping like fish on a deck out of water

  • Fucking holmstorm, Pronger is the boss

  • Opiv377 just shut the shit up lidstrom is classy, was a lady byng nominee, captain (one of the greatest of all time), in his 40's and still plays like hes 22, won MULTIPLE stanley cups, learned from steve yzerman himself on how to lead a team, 7 norris trophies, nicknamed "the perfect human", and only you could be retarded enough to say he sucks. Lets see pronger in three words, a cheapshotting, pest...only 2 words.

    Mabye when they make the playoffs for 20+ years in a row you can talk....Smh

  • Saying it was only bad because Niedermayer was there is like saying it was only bad because he hit him in the head.

  • ahhh.....what a great hit. awesome hit prongs!!!

  • Chris Pronger is a perfect fit for Philly. Mean and dirty.

  • Ban Pronger .. he cant hold the tempo, and so turnes to these methods

  • Wow I'm shocked he got any suspension for this... the unspoken rule of the NHL is any play against the Wings is clean.

  • Pronger was looking right at Holmstrom's numbers the whole way and led with a high elbow. Lucky he only got a game.

  • 1 game suspension these hits should be a 50 game suspension

  • lol double team. reminds me of the bash brothers

  • Fuck holmstrom

  • every body hates chris...

  • @Opiv337 HA, yeah.. That's totally it. You got me.. HAHA.

  • I seriously fucking HATE Pronger with everything I have in me! But the fact still remains, Homer came right back out on the ice that game. We in Detroit have heart and love for the game! FUCK Anaheim and especially Pronger! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @FaFbFeverdog umad cause pronger is so good?

  • @Opiv337 LOL the Red Wings have a lot of players better than Pronger. Lidstrom is better than Pronger was in his prime and he is 41. You mad cause the Red Wings are so good?

  • @chaldochamp3 wtf are you talking about, the red wings are fucking awesome, but so is chris pronger

  • @Opiv337 If you reread my comment you will see that I said the Wings are very good. I am a diehard Red Wings fan and I was just telling that guy the Red Wings have many more talented players than Chris Pronger.

  • @chaldochamp3 but thats a lie! chris pronger is the best defenceman there ever was (except for scott stevens). the wings defence has nothing on pronger and you cant compare non-defenceman to him =P

  • @Opiv337 Bobby Orr and Nicklas Lidstrom are better than Chris Pronger ever will be. You saying Lidstrom isn't a defenceman is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Your stupidity amazes me. Ask any true hockey fan and they will prove me right. How many Norris Trophies has Pronger won? One. How many has Lidstrom won? 6 and nominated again this year.

  • @chaldochamp3 you're a retard if you somehow think i said lindstrom isnt a defenceman. i still think pronger is better though because he carries teams on his back whereas the wings would still be a good team without lindstrom

  • @Opiv337 Am I a retard because I stated the facts? Or because you couldn't come up with a reply that showed you had any education? You said Scott Stevens was the best defenceman yet he had zero Norris Trophies in over 20 years. You have the right to an opinion no matter how dumb it is. Lidstrom doesn't carry a team because he doesn't have to. The team has other talent that can keep them in the playoffs. Lidstrom could carry a team if he had to but he doesn't. Also, it is Lidstrom, not Lindstrom.

  • @chaldochamp3 Holy shit you are stupid. You ignore the fact that you made something up by saying you're "stating the facts". I bet you're american, 'tis the only explanation.

  • @Opiv337 What did I make up? You didn't show anything that proves what I said was false.The only thing that is now wrong is Lidstrom has 7 Norris Trophies after last night. You must be Canadian, 'tis the only explanation.

  • @chaldochamp3 Your level of retardation is great. If you can't see what you made up then you can't see reason. It would also explain why you feel the need to repeat what I say.

  • @Opiv337 You still haven't shown me what I made up. You are just avoiding the question because you have no valid answer. I will ask it one more time to see if your brain can come up with a response. What did I say that was false? If you reply without answering that question you have to be the dumbest person on the planet.

  • @chaldochamp3 "You saying Lidstrom isn't a defenceman is the dumbest thing I have ever heard" I never said that you derp

  • @Opiv337 Ok I will give you that one. I made a mistake but you saying Pronger is the second best defenseman of all time is the dumbest thing ever said. Lidstrom won the Norris 7 times including this year at the age of 41. Pronger won it once when he was in his prime. I just don't see how anyone can think he is a better defender than Lidstrom. You even think he is better than Bobby Orr. Your only argument is that he carries a team. Does that mean Crosby isn't good because he doesn't carry a team?

  • @chaldochamp3 K dude I was obviously exaggerating lol, obviously there are/were better defenceman than pronger i just think hes awesome. But it doesnt matter anymore since the flyers done goofed.

  • @Opiv337 I highly doubt you were exaggerating because you wouldn't go this long if you were. It's not a problem if you said he is your favorite player but you said he is the second best defender of all time only behind Scott Stevens who never even won a Norris trophy once in his career.

  • @chaldochamp3 You're a retard, lets leave it at that.

  • @Opiv337 Explain how I am a retard.

  • Bullshit 1 game suspension....shoulda been ten!!! fuck the ducks, and definetely fuck Pronger!!

  • I wish this could of been an obnoxious red wings fan...those mofos troll the fuck out of the internet.

  • Pronger is a piece of shit.

  • This should be done to holmstrom every game

  • @zegermans750 Right, because he's such a dick right? He goes around cheapshotting guys? He plays too soft? He's a thug?

    People that hate Holmstrom just make no sense. He's everything you want in a hockey role-player.

  • @nagahide13 I hate him because I'm a Ducks fan and he's not on my team =]

    Good reason to hate right??

  • @Kynortas That is... fair enough. Fair enough.

  • @nagahide13 ;D

  • Pronger is just pissed cus Holmstrom has what? four stanley cups?

  • Pronger is the biggest cocksucker of all time!!!!

  • I think that the NHL doesnt do enough for the contacts to the head. there is a rule trying to be passed that states that ANY contact to the head will be an automatic penalty and/or a suspension. This would clean up the game immensely

  • BULLSHIT! I DON'T EVEN CARE A LOT FOR HOLMSTROM...PRONGER WENT FUCKING HIGH INTO HIS HEAD! IF SCOTTY HADN'T BEEN THERE IT WOULDA BEEN THE SAME HIT. FUCK YOU PRONGER. FUCK YOU PAINFULLY.

  • @ungatoniko Opinions on the Chara hit on Pacioretty?

  • @Kynortas Goes both ways.... Chara shoulda known where he was. Even so, shit happens. Personally, I think it was a fuckin' dangerous hit, but whether or not it was deliberately dirty I can't comment. A trip is still a trip whether its on accident or not.... Chara's hit should still weigh heavy even if he didn't mean to do what he did.

  • @ungatoniko Yeah I agree, but ever since Pronger came to the Ducks and left them the league is a tad harsh on suspensions towards the Ducks.  A lot of them legal (obviously not this one) but like the hit I said earlier + the Alfredsson hit it that is shown in this video... Well Alfredsson can get away with anything =]

  • @ungatoniko too bad that's robby.

  • @ungatoniko It's Rob not Scott :P

  • @jad1washere Good call...when I hear Neids I always just assume Scott...it is definitely hard to acknowledge that he is retired and such now haha

  • @ungatoniko Yeah man. It sucked when he retired! Being a Ducks fan we lost a very key player! But he brought the cup to the Ducks so he did his part! :D

  • @ungatoniko who cares? its holmstrom. the guy needs hurt.

  • @xAxiom720x point... but still...

  • hits to the back of the head into the boards as in this one, no matter the player, team, or circumstance, should be at least an automatic 10 game suspension.

  • this is why i hate the gay ass ducks

  • The Flyers are going back to the cup no doubt

  • dirty hit my ass mother fucker hockey is a hard hitting sport u dont like it get the fuck out ive been playing since i was 5 its a hit u get over it and move on and hey nemzz9st ur a D-Bag pronger is the fuckin man he hits hard and scores goals thats how u play the game u panzyy

  • @butfuck446

    Yes it's a hard hitting game but at the same time there is a level of respect that is kept on the ice. You don't hit someone from behind, that is the most simple rule there is. Niedermayer knew it that's why he went shoulder to shoulder. Pronger who routinely elbows people for fun and stomps on legs showed no class when he followed Holmstrom to the boards and elbowed him in the back of the head.

    Step your life game up son.

  • @butfuck446 - It is difficult to argue with you because like Pronger, you don't get the fact that this is a game of hard hits, but they need to be kept clean. Hitting someone from behind is A PENALTY!!! That isn't an opinion, it is in the rulebook. If Holmstrom and Kronwall had hit Pronger the same way that Pronger and Neidermeyer hit Holmstrom, Holmstrom and Kronwall would have each gotten 5 game suspensions and would have had to sit out the rest of the series. End of story.

  • dirty hit

  • Pronger best defensivemen in the NHL right now

  • @nemzz9st I think what you ment to say was, Pronger....the biggest D-Bag in the NHL ever!!!!!!!!

  • Right, besides Lidstrom...

  • @nemzz9st I don't know if you heard but Nicklas Lidstrom won the Norris Trophy this year. Pronger wasn't even nominated so dumb comment.

  • holmstrom has about twice the pads of a regular skater. he wears goalie chest pads because he is in the high slot the whole game. but pronger picks his head, the only place where he is not more padded. because he is a cheap, dirty player.

  • @theguy974 ur moms a cheap dirty whore

  • god whats with all the gayness. go get a g/f an be happy an just watch some movies.

  • clean

  • @Leca41 the cleanest i have ever seen and I'm an expert on hockey... wink wink!

  • what i love is how many ppl on here prolly went on google to see if it was spelled right. like it matters anyway about intelligecance anyway. :DDD

  • @monsterkiller2010 eye no huh?

  • hahahaha!!! what a sweet ass hit!!!

  • @kcast714 defenitely!

  • I call bullshit. even without Neids there Pronger hit to the head! One game? Get this goon a permanent bench spot. It's the same crap day in and day out with him.

  • what a dick head Pronger is !!! -.-''

  • BOOBIES!!

    

  • fuckin fagget thsi pronger, was an intentional hit from behind and the NHL should sanction based on consequence!!

  • PRONGER IS THE MAN!!!!!!!! ha fuck holmstrom, no one i hate more besides bertuzzi who should be in jail (both wings) GO BLUES

  • @Strokesquad009 why do you people always get on bert's case. he made a stupid decision, not uncommon in the world. Both he and Homer have been beneficial to the Wings, oh wait. Is that why you hate them? Because they're good?? awwww so sad!(Note sarcasm)

  • @Barbaro2012 a stupid decision in hockey is considered not getting back on defense on time to prevent a breakaway or something. what bertuzzi did, is that he almost killed a guy for the cheapest, foulest thing ever done in any professional sport. give me a break, of course ur a wings fan

  • @Strokesquad009 So what your saying is it's okay to make cheap shots that injure others, just as long as it's not a life or career ending cheap shot.

    Pronger can continue to throw elbows, knees and scratch eyes, and this makes him "THE MAN", but hitting someone who makes these cheap shots but refuses to fight makes you foul.

    Bert was also suspended a long time for his cheap hit, much more than the one or two games Pronger seems to get.

  • @Strokesquad009 actually i wouldnt think when he fell down an hit the ice its the dumbfucks that jumped on top of bert an moore that prolly broke his neck, i mean come on if it was my teamate id try an get bert of instead of jumpin on the pile an makin it worse.

  • @Strokesquad009 - Bertuzzi's hit on Moore, as bad as it was, would not have had the outcome it did if there wasn't a pile of players who fell on him during the scrum that ensued. Bertuzzi served his time and has made contact with Moore about the situation. I am sure he has had many sleepless nights thinking back about that situation and would take it back if he did. As for Pronger, he has never knocked someone out of a career. Sadly, I don't think he will learn his lesson until he does.

  • @Strokesquad009 "of course ur a wings fan" wow. i've heard that before. i'm loyal to my hometown team and the people on it. the past is the past, nobody in detroit holds it against him, he's been fine with us. is it because your team sucks that you have to hate one of the best teams in NHL history?

  • tomas is my idol pronger far to HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im from sweden so don´t fuck with me!

  • @Ronnykennet So, you're a swedish fag?

  • Votes: LIKE

  • Votes: LIKE

  • NO ONE hits Homer like that. Him and Franzen are a couple of the most underrated players in the league right now.

  • typical dirty ducks

  • Psh please. I don't hate Chris Pronger but this hit was not necessary. He's a top defenseman who took out his anger on Homer. And yeah, I'm a Red Wing fan, I don't complain when Kronwall gets hit (unless it's clearly a dirty hit) because that's the type of player he is.

  • Pronger is da man, that punk had it coming. Hell you dont hear ned. getting much grief for it.

  • Pronger is a tool, imagine how great he would be seen as a player without all these brainless actions..

  • @vohmrin Repaying a hit from behind with that.. dunno. Tough call.

  • pronger suck dick!

  • @redwingsfan198 haha....dead wings....seriously...almost a dead wing there

  • @spd2549 fuck u!

  • RIP

  • RIP

  • Pronger was a good player on Ducks too bad he left.

  • Holmstrom rarely gets calls to go his way. It takes two elbows from the back of the head to get a call. Away from his office, Holmstrom is probably the worst NHL skater. He falls all the time. Some people thing it's a diving thing. I'm not saying he never dove, but the man has a hard time staying up. Now, while he is in front of the net, he can't be beat away. He takes more punishment than a red headed step child. All time NHL best in front of the net. Rewrote the book.

  • this is a clean hit to me, holmstrom just put that ketchup on

  • Why do I love this clip?

  • I enjoyed that hit immensely. Holmstrom is a hack. I have absolutely zero respect for whiny players who choose to play the way he does.

  • @socalhockey72 how is he whiny? holmstrom takes cross checks, slashes, punches, an gets knocked on his ass an still finds a way to score, is that what pisses u off cuzu dont have a quality player like that, not to mention hes 37 an still can take a beating.

  • Anahiem isa team full of Bitches. He should have gotten more than 1 game. That was intenyt to injure. Perry and Getzlaf are the 2 biggest doucebags on that team now that Pronger is gone.

  • Pronger is a piece of shit. I hate Holmstrom, and Im sure most others do too, but that isnt the way to get even.

    People need to hit Pronger the way he hits others. He might learn something

  • Look at Prongers hands gettin up. Man that boy can´t do a clean hit.

  • Pronger is a beast stop hating . lets go FLYERS

  • @MrSouthphillyitalian if he is so beast how come he didnt win hahahaha go hawks

  • how is it that everybody see's pronger throwing this check if you actually watch this video for what it is what neidermeyers right fore arm contiinue into holmstroms head just exactly where he happen to be cut pronger pushes him from his back shoulder it was that old grizzly bear who really hit him

  • Pronger was only suspended because a pussy-ass RefWing got laid out and bled on the ice like a bitch on the rag.

  • Pronger is good

  • what is the problem with this check? Is it because holstrom got hurt? well tough luck only the men play in the nhl and holstrom knows that very well being a veteran. It;s bullshit so what now? every time a player decides to drop his head down before he gets checked alongside the boards is going to be a game misconduct a fine and miss a game? nhl is getting to invovled just to prove a point to the nhlpa. Bullshit he's a veteran he should have known better

  • @steven4rmnewyork fore aem to the back of the head isn't legal...........pronger fanboy

  • @Ih8PorchMonkeys13 yeah obviously but when a guy is 2 ft shorter than you its hard to get his kneck thats something you not wanting to acknowledge. I'm no pronger fan but he's a good defenseman. fuck "the mule" he's smart enough to know keep your god dam hea dup first thing you learn and he slipped. it wasn't back of the head holstrom tried to duck out of the way pronger got his shoulders and as he ducked he got his head this reporter doesn't know anything

  • @steven4rmnewyork Pronger is a bully plain and simple. He try's to hurt guys and if you're going to use the height excuse look at Zdeno Chara, when was the last time he threw a cheap shot as bad as this and he's 6'9'. and he had his head up, he was even looking around. Pronger could have taken the bodie but he dicided to hit him from the back of the head into the boards. Pronger a good D but he's also an idiot, i wouldn't mind seeing him get his

  • @Ih8PorchMonkeys13 act like im defending him im not just saying nhl has become so much more pussy these days it makes me sick.this is a mans sport when you that contract your signing your life away you can die at any moment. not supposed to happen but i didnt watch this game and im pretty sure lil angel holstrom did something to piss pronger off and thomas got what was coming to him i show no remorse for thomas this will teach him never to go face first into the boards and keep his head up

  • @steven4rmnewyork alright man he had his head up it just got shoved into the boards. you're obviosly biased xause you don't like holmstrom. and i now it sucks but the game has changed its not like that anymore, even so that would have been a penalty in the nold nhl still

  • @Ih8PorchMonkeys13 I actually admire holmstrom as a big tough guy who takes care of business in front of net maybe better than anybody in the nhl. just the fact is when i mean keep your head up it doesn't mean in an upright position it means on a constant swivel looking back and fourth and he stood there like a easy target and pronger took it but every likes to forget how neidermeyer made it worse but its okay aslong as everybody hates pronger we can forget about neidermeyr

  • @steven4rmnewyork he did keep his head on a swivel he was looking around before he got hit. No matter how you look at this its a dirty hit. he saw pronger coming but i dont think he expected him to hit the backk off his head into the boards using his forearm. the hit was dirty thats why he got suspended end of story

  • @Ih8PorchMonkeys13 end of your story as the way you look at it..it was niedermeyer who actually drive his elbow to the head of holmstrom. they issued a suspension because of bad timing it was during the time when they want to enforce the rule. 10 years ago throw his ass on a stretcher and continue the game how is it that all of you morons can't see neidermeyer driving his elbow into the head of holmstrom its even in slow motion.

  • @steven4rmnewyork hahha wow you might as we'll be sucking prongers dick

  • SHUT UP YOU FUCKING PUSSIES HATING ON PRONGER BECAUSE HES TOO ROUGH!!! HERES AN IDEA GET THE SAND OUT OF YOUR FUCKING VAGINAS AND REMEMBER HOCKEY IS A PHYSICAL GAME NOT A BALLET RECITAL

  • exactly rockapellaman. 

  • @rockapellaman. I get what youre saying. The guys a good player and yes hockey is a violent sport but players need to police themselves more. While injuries are going to happen no matter what, when it comes down to it it really is a game and noone deserves being paralyzed or permanently mamed becasue a player does not know how to control himself.

  • Pronger is a bitch, enough said.

  • @Olivia230 lol love 2 see u say that 2 him

  • @Olivia230 are you on crack? a bitch? guys the most valuable player in the whole league.....led 3 different teams to stanley cup finals, 1 cup, canadian gold medal, made byfuglien look like a rag doll in last years cup finals, backs down to no one...you dont know what youre talking about

  • @Olivia230 Holmstrom is a bitch. He plays hockey, this isn't a book club.

  • Only one game? Pretty minor for a potentially deadly hit.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi Deadly if you're a pussy. If you don't want to get hit by potentially bigger people don't play hockey.

  • @droppingitdeep OK tough guy. Last I checked, none of the guys involved in this are "pussies."

    I also notice that they're in the NHL and you sure as fuck are not.

  • @droppingitdeep Hell, I bet you don't even know how to skate.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi Oh-kay! Whatever you say tough guy. You are probably a weak ass bitch that doesn't like to get hit. Wish I could be in the NHL, unfortunately my community didn't have any leagues. I also noticed they're in the NHL and you sure as fuck are not, faggot!

  • @droppingitdeep Good comeback dickwad. Having to resort to using the same insult is always a great sign of creativity and intelligence.

    As for your community not having leagues... where the fuck do you live? I can't think of anywhere in the US that doesn't have some organized hockey league within some reasonable driving distance. Of course, if you're poor as fuck and don't have a car, then...

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi How about you shut your cock holster! Let me guess you have no intellegence? So, your telling me that for 20 years every community in the World has had a hockey league. No matter the demographics? You got to be a real creative and intellegent cum dumpster. Next time use a little common sense with your garbage-ass intellegence.

  • @droppingitdeep What, did you grow up in India or something? No, India and Pakistan probably don't have local hockey teams. Neither does most of Africa I suppose.

    I saw you're from the States, and I said "anywhere in the US" and now it's the "World?"

    Make up your mind sissy. Where exactly did you grow up?

    "Cock holster" is hilarious by the way (better than - once again - repeating my insults). Never heard it before.

    Is that what your stepdad nicknamed you?

  • @droppingitdeep And by the way, it always makes me laugh my ass off when someone pulls the "I'm more intelligent than you" card...

    but can't spell for shit.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi i see when you get mad your ramblings get totally incoherent,couldn't you just find a job and stop boasting this BS all over teh place? Oh, I suppose it would be hard to dig a trench, build a boat or hold a sales meeting with another man's pe¬nis inside your sphincter, so I guess it's a valid reason.

  • @droppingitdeep Hey, welcome back dildo breath.

    Did your boyfriend finally get bored with riding your ass and unlock your handcuffs?

    So you build boats huh? Or do you just clean out the bilges?

  • @droppingitdeep And hey fag, what's the matter? Couldn't come up with TWO insults so you had to cut and paste the same one for both phoenix and myself?

    Believe me punk, it wasn't that good of an insult...

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi i see when you get mad your ramblings get totally incoherent,couldn't you just find a job and stop boasting this BS all over teh place? Oh, I suppose it would be hard to dig a trench, build a boat or hold a sales meeting with another man's pe¬nis inside your sphincter, so I guess it's a valid reason.

  • @droppingitdeep LOL.

    Fucking little cumhead is trembling at the knees. Too FUBAR to talk so he has to keep repeating the same insults over and over again.
