Comments on: Game 3: @ Anaheim, 9:00 ET http://onthewingsblog.com/2007/05/15/game-3-anaheim-900-et/ by true Citizens of Hockeytown Sat, 06 Sep 2008 23:41:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Ian http://onthewingsblog.com/2007/05/15/game-3-anaheim-900-et/#comment-18182 Ian Wed, 16 May 2007 04:23:53 +0000 http://onthewingsblog.com/2007/05/15/game-3-anaheim-900-et/#comment-18182 Weird thing about Pronger... during the first period I said to myself "you know, Pronger gets a lot of ink about his size and his shot, but he's really an excellent overall defenseman, like Lidstrom." He did a beautiful job breaking up that 2-on-1, but granted that was Cleary and Maltby, which is a formula for ugly. Then Pronger goes all Jamie Mclennan on Holmstrom. Of course he won't be suspended, much worse has happened with not even a fine. Am I the only one still pissed about Daymond Langkow? He crawls over to Lebda, who is LYING ON THE ICE INJURED, and PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE, giving him a concussion that knocks him out for what, six games? No fine? No penalty? Anyway, great game from the Wings. Hopefully they can recreate this Thursday. Hey, that Hanes commercial with Jordan and Kevin Bacon just came on... what the hell is up with that commercial anyway?

They sure are living up to their reputation. Remember the hit in Vancouver just before the goal on Luongo. That was Rob Neidermeyer too. Pronger followed through way too high. The last five minutes of the third should be especially dirty. I hope Homer is okay. The league has to do something about intentional head hits in the offseason. It's been going on all year. I just hate seeing any player laying on the ice looking like he just took a bullet to the dome. I'm with everyone else on Pronger and Neidermeyer. Game on. These guys are quacks.

You watch, nobody gets suspended again......Pronger, a typical Don Cherry Canadian boy......if your team is losing, just kill somebody to make the series worth something for your teams hapless play.....sickening......your still a loser no matter what team you play on......

He was just as, if not more guilty that Niedermayer. When is the league going to protect the players??? we've seen an awful lot of these cheap shots and disrespect in the game this year, and there hasn't been enough done to the guilty players to keep it from happening again. It's time for Bettman and the NHL heads to wake up and try to take this dirty play out of the game! I'll all for physical play, but not when it's unsportsmanlike, blind-sided, illegal hits... especially when the team doing it is down 4-0, and is frustrated. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!

Chris Pronger and Rob Neidermeyer should both be suspended. That was bush league grade-A bullsh*t. Just because your team is having a bad game is no reason to take a run at a guy. I had little respect for both Pronger and Neidermeyer before this, and now I have none. Other than that, this has been a textbook game for the Wings. Great puck possession, and cashing in on their chances. The sad part about Homer is he could have a concussion, and the league is likely not going to do a thing to either Pronger or Neidermeyer.
