Nigel Dawes Nifty Goal vs Anaheim "Pronger undressed" | Dec 16th, 2008

[mineralmax]

Right after Dawes scores, pronger looks as though he says something to Hiller. How much you wanna bet that it was something douchey? I wouldn't put it below the fucker to have brutally turned the puck over and then say something nasty to his own goal tender for giving up a goal.

[xStealthAddictx]

@mineralmax Uhh, he didn't turn the puck over. Number 40 it looks like did. Dawes was coming with full speed and Pronger got caught flat footed. Doesn't it seem highly possible Pronger gave a quick "My bad"? Just because a player is a pain in the ass to the other team doesn't mean he's an idiot.

[MasterBeatles]

He's now in montreal :) can't wait to see him :D

[BlazedOfficial]

Welcome to Montréal! :)

[MbossySabre]

waived

[IAMBLACKSTIG]

U guys are idiots..i am a lifelong rangers fan and dawes was a waste of roster space...he can have fun blowing kotaliks and higgins nuts.

[punkpimp]

@IAMBLACKSTIG Not really. The problem was that he is a type of player that needs to play on the top-six. However, he couldn't keep up so he played on the bottom-six where a player with his skillset can't thrive.

[DBFL88]

Dawes is ass.

[petrcech101]

I still hate that trade the rangers did for derek morris :(

[stabileownzwow]

gunna miss him on the rangers good luck on the flames

[rabble000]

same im also guna miss nigel dawes i loved his game very gritty, cud score also and played solid D in his own zone best of luck to him

[6tbonemmvn77]

Nigel's offensive abilities are under rated. He's got real good hockey instincts.He was Marty Brodeur's worst nightmare on those penalty shots.I think he can be an asset on the power play as well. He's got a real sneaky and accurate wrist shot. If you watch some of his goal highlights you'll see what I mean.He's a real good passer as well and is good at catching goaltenders off guard.Even defense men.Find a clip of where Dawes scores a goal after making a Wild d man look like a complete moron .

[RockNow68]

not to mention he is always in great position to shoot the puck in the offensive zone.

[krisp8111]

i think he's going to fit in with the flames just fine.....i hope so we lost effin mike cammalleri and he had a great season with us..i just dont knwo what the fack to think about that....anyways he'll find his place with the flames...

[Jawnfawn]

krisp8111... why do you think we signed Jokinen? It was obvious Cami was going.

Jokinen>>>Cami

Cami will probably not have such a good season again cause Montreal sucks and do not have players who can set Cami up for one timers, which were all of his goals with the flames.

[JamesD567]

dawes sucks

[Sinlessgrins]

dawes is one of those guys who shows flashes at times. he has good hands. i hope he finds his game in calgary.

i always root for ranger alumni who move out of the division.

[Flamesfan7]

I'm really looking forward to Dawes playing in Calgary. Hopefully this is the kind of scenery change he needs.

[SugaaLumps]

While one highlight video doesn't reflect the scope of a player's abilities I'm definitely anxious to see this guy put on a Flames uniform.

[seekhim777]

Now A Flame

[rangerhockey14]

IF YOU HAVE NO ANGLE DANGLE!!!!

[dadeeman1oo]

listen duck fans ur team lost this game get over it this was the winning goal dawes is not a cheap player ur just mad 2 see ur crappy team lose 2 the rangers

[detroitsports77]

dawes should have been layed out by prongs elbow, but thats just the kind of cheapfuck player he is.

[AnaheimDucks39]

you should be on your knees sucking a cock, but thats just the kind of queer you are

[detroitsports77]

lol another disgruntled mighty quacks fan......haha

[bagoge2]

nigel retourne dans ta cage

[EsKimoJarHead]

fucken sick

[boxesofsox]

wow! now dawes can do that more often cuase he's on phoenix

[mirzayanov]

pronger is overrated no wonder why the canadian national team does so bad

[baysar]

that's why his team has made the playoffs since 1996.... with blues, oilers, and ducks....

and hes got a big ol stanley cup ring on his finger

dont get me wrong.. i dont like the guy,,, but would love to have him on my team

[mirzayanov]

he was good back in the day but right now he's not any good anymore, his time is over

[AnaheimDucks39]

... yes he is good right now. he completely shut down joe thornton in the playoffs. just because you dont win the norris trophy doesnt mean you arent good anymore

[mirzayanov]

joe thornton is nothing compared to players on the detroit red wings

[danblaze83]

thats right thornton is overrated choke artist garbage excuse 4 a player

[mirzayanov]

yea deffinetly now a days if a player doesn't have speed he's useless, even defensman have to be fast now a days, thats why thornton and pronger are useless players

[NYR21135]

i cant believe he dangled pronger. i wouldnt be hard on pronger if ovechkin or iginla did it to him

[AnaheimDucks39]

you want to see a real "undressed" goal? type in perry goal vs rangers

[NewYorkRangers1926]

Best of luck to Dawes in PHX.

[andrewcdouglas39]

...not that hard to get around a player who is standing still :/

[tampabaylightning974]

andrewcdouglas39, It is when the player is one of the best defenceman in the NHL and it also is when the player is 6'6

[AnaheimDucks39]

being 6''6 has nothing to do with it. pronger was standing still and dawes was going about 20 mph, its not that hard to beat him

[tampabaylightning974]

If you watch the video, you should have noticed that dawes was no were near 20mph and your defending Nigel Dawes when your youtube name is AnaheimDucks39. My point is, that Pronger is one of the the most talented defenseman and you dont really see someone go aound him so easily that often

[AnaheimDucks39]

im not really defending dawes im just saying its not that incredible of a goal since pronger was standing still and dawes was skating its easier to beat him than if he was skating as well but w/e its still a nice goal

[808state909]

to be fair, pronger was at a disadvantage due to his teammates terrible pass. still a nice play though

[notyler453]

dawes is pretty finesse. hes realy underatted to

[bagoge2]

nigel retourne dans ta cage!

[tonyseenie44]

made pronger look like an idiot lmfao GO RANGERS!!!

[darkknight91]

Pronger IS an idiot.

[hockeydiva166]

nigel DAWESOME<3

[TravisTuovanen]

ahahahahha

[Raymondbeacon1]

Dawes helped us in this game but he fucked us over last nite thanx Dawes

[trippygs]

rangers got sucha good team this year just dont wana shank it

[RangerFan1994Rocks]

He made it look so easy. LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!

[markmessier94]

Missed the game but the highlight itself made my jaw drop the first time i saw it. I seriously repeated it like 10 times. He really does show flashes of a lot of talent.

[tyluscious]

yea man dawes is highly underrated...hes gonna or should be with us for a while barring retarded trades

[WristShot527]

The move was nasty. Even though the goal wasn't clean, it's still a great fuckin' goal.

[Oghomiedontplaydat]

Unclean goal? the guy weaved right passed Pronger, not some novice defenseman, chris Pronger. The shot was just as good too.

[WristShot527]

What I ment by 'unclean' was that Hiller got some what of a piece of the puck when it went through him. Maybe 'unclean' was too negative...anyway...

[NYRangersFan94]

well i think the way it slowly trickled passed the goal line made it a bit sweeter. it kinda gave you moment to take that all in before the red light lit up. lol.

[TimboBandit]

Never thought I'd see a guy like Dawes get around a guy like Pronger that smoothly.

[Raymondbeacon1]

holy shit Dawes comes in handy when we needed him, LETS GO RANGERS

[Dubinsky98]

LETS GO RANGERS

[KSchram17]

Sam Rosen is my favorite announcer for any sport (And I hate my other favorite teams' anouncers) but this other guy is killing me. "Throws the puck into an area and gets it." He reduces a nasty dangle to a lucky break.

This was a sick goal. I have been waiting for Zherdev or somebody to score one of these. Insane dangle around CHRIS PRONGER, Getzlaf didn't know what to do, and he scores. The Rangers never score off their dangles. Thank you Dawes.

[GRaf222]

He pushed the puck past Pronger skated around him and and picked it up on the other side for a shot. That's not a dangle, because it isn't a stick handling move it's still a sick move but a dangle is different.

[cdudeNYR]

i don't know why people rate you badly for this haha... it's true

[GRaf222]

ignorance?
