Podcast (Audio) Pronger on SC

[backhandsauce]

Anyone else listen to it?

Has some interesting things to say about his time in Edmonton.

Liked the team, had to settle down Stoll and Torres throughout the year.

Asked for a trade because he was sold a bill of goods that wasn’t delivered whatever that means.

Great player but comes across as a douche as a person.

No kidding, what the hell does that mean? Team acquired some nice pieces to help out near the end of the year. He got a big fat contract. Not sure what else was promised to him. A bunch of 18 year old virgins?

And why did you feel the need to start 2 threads on this subject?

Did it on my phone don’t know how delete the other one. Sorry

No problem, forgiven.

 

[Paralyzer]

No problem, forgiven.

Forgiven? f*** that. I WANT BLOOD TO BE SHED FOR THIS.

 

[jeblers]

I had a big smile when he talked about '06 and that team, it was really brought up some great memories.

I was pissed when he left but whatever, time healed those wounds. Thankful for that year we had with him, it really was a good team that went on a great run at the right time.

 

[Del Preston]

Fourteen years later and this goof is still blaming other people for him leaving.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Who cares what this bag of dicks thinks?

Didn't many of those acquired pieces and Peca leave as UFA in the offseason though? At that point the roster looked to be weaker than the one who barely made the payoffs.

Now, who knows what the brilliant minds beyond our leadership promissed him.

On another hand Pronger seems to be a ....... can I say it?

A dick? Feel free

 

[belair]

Considering who ran the team I believe he was sold a bill of goods. Don't care though. f*** him.

Said players decided a mass exodus after the best defenseman in the NHL demanded a trade 4 days after being eliminated in game 7 of the Stanley cup final. Had Pronger not nailed the team would have remained mostly intact.

[KarmaPolice]

Who cares what this bag of dicks thinks?

Agreed. Screw this guy. We know well enough why he left.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Kinda pissed listening to him laughing when he was asked if he was happy to be traded here. He was also ripping on Hartford for being too shitty of a place for him to stay.

Sounded like an entitled dumb jock who was gifted with talent and size.

 

[redgrant]

Most of you guys are too you g to remember but there were a lot of rumors about him cheating on his wife. Him and Marty reasoner had quite the bar hopping reputation back then.

Funny how he brings up Stoll and Torres. Pronger was really no different.

 

[Del Preston]

Agreed. Screw this guy. We know well enough why he left.

I'd like for Lowe or one of the former owners to bury Pronger and publically confirm the "rumour" as to why he had to go. 99% of fans and people around the game have heard it.

He was treated like a king here for 11 months and repays us by lying and dragging the city/fans/organization through the mud whenever his exit comes up.

Lowe has stated that Pronger was starting to request a trade back in January of that season, but he did his best to load up the team, and was hoping once CP saw how exciting the city would be during a playoff run it would change his mind.....
then Pronger went and held the team hostage with his public demand.
guy really is a piece of shit......especially for his Jim Rome interview.

Those pieces all left after the rumours started coming out that he was leaving.

 

[Oil4life99]

He aint getting a rent free spot in this head. pronger who?

I've always wondered what would have happened if the Oilers had won the Cup. They lost on Monday, had a small rally at city hall on Thursday, and on Friday is when the trade request became public. Would this dbag still have asked for a trade the day after a Cup parade?

 

[ZenOil]

A one eyed narcissist (who happened to be an amazing defenseman) F him.

I wouldn't put it passed him.
Listening to some of the things Georges Laraque has said about him, and how he treats people.
I don't wish ill will on anybody, but this guy deserved Joe Murphy's life. I wouldn't feel bad if I read he lost everything and was living in a dumpster.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

I thought he left because of a certain A-Channel employee?

 

[Soundwave]

Honestly, not even mad about this anymore.

He came here for a year and took us to a Cup Final with a one shot chance to win it all after 15 years of wandering the wilderness ... can't be upset at that.

His wife was an American socialite heiress to a large fortune used to going to parties and functions, it was never going to work out here for her.

You can't expect the guy to choose a team over his family.

The Oilers should've been able to receive a king's ransom back for him, that's on management for botching it.

Eric Brewer + a bunch of scraps basically almost got the Oilers a Cup, you do that every day of the week, if I knew going into it that's what was going to happen but it would lead to a game 7 Cup Final, I take that allllll day.

If you told me right now we could swap Adam Larsson for a d-man that would take the Oilers to game 7 of the Cup Finals this June, but then would ask to be traded immediately afterwards, I'd do that trade without thinking twice.
