Once again, yay to Stu Barnes, along with Stephane Robidas, Loui Erickson, and another big boy by the name of Mike Modano...Turco did what I said he needed to do, and that was help this team get to the second round...now we can talk about monkeys off the back...
In the end, though, my long-standing point about Chris Pronger has been proven: he is a worthless, over-rated goon, and how he has gained all-star accolades is beyond me...from the first puck dropped, this guy has shown he is no more than a meathead skater, who has nothing more in mind than to dish out physical play...now, some of you may say, "physicality is part of the game"...sure, but not when you sacrifice actual ability...remember, Pronger was coming off an 8-game suspension for stomping an opposing player, and he had no regrets...I think it's appropriate that his penalty helped his team lose game 6...I can't stand how people like him, Keith Tkachuk, and Rob Blake continue to play with no regard fo sportsmanship, and still have such popularity...they wouldn't have lasted in the 80's and early 90's, when Probert and Domi made you pay for hitting a real star...
Rock on, Believe, and keep the dream alive...
