Chris Pronger: Helluva Game Last Night
The tie breaking goal, with about 3:20 left in the 3rd period, was initiated by a terrible turnover by Kent Huskins (who? why is he playing next to Pronger?) which Nigel Dawes (his parents destined him to a life of Broadway and Mamma Mia! with that name) promptly picked off at the blue line. At this point Chris Pronger steps up, like a deer in the headlights, and flounders, Dawes skates directly by him, and flicks a little wrister through Jonas Hiller.
I just realized something...Nigel Dawes is black! Yikes. His parents were A-holes, no good in the hood...Moving on.
Empty net now, pressure in the Rangers goal. A clear is fired anonymously from Lundqvist's crease to a streaking Zherdev. Pronger won't catch him, so he hooks him down, teabags him, pushes his face on the ice, tries to stomp him (some of this may be exaggeration) and leaves him laying there. But since the net is empty and Zherdev was hauled down on a breakaway, that's a goal. Now granted there was so little time left the game was essentially over but man, Chris, tough one.
After your dirty play over these years, I don't feel bad watching you flail, as a matter of fact, I enjoy it. Here's to you, Chris. 27 minutes of ice time, 1 shot, no stats. Good for you Chris, good for you. I kind of wish you would've stayed with Edmonton, that way, instead of just losing 3-1 late, you could've been throttled 9-2 by the Blackhawks. Now that is a fun team to watch.
Um other notes, Blake had a pretty sweet shootout goal last night, albeit a little unoriginal, and technically illegal, or so I hear.
PSSSST...Jason Blake still looks like he has cancer.
Looks like the Sabres will get a tired Scott Clemmenson and Devils squad tonight. Sweet.
