Ducks Gameday -- Back on the wrong end of Captain Elbows.

by Earl Sleek on Oct 10, 2009 10:08 AM PDT Comment 208 comments

Anaheim Ducks (1-1-1) at Philadephia Flyers (3-1-0)
Broad Street Hockey can now assume the task of fending off anti-Pronger trolls.

It's tough for me to put together a solid remembrance piece on Chris Pronger -- how can I properly do justice to the three years of intimidation, suspensions, and opponent hatred, not to mention the Ducks' Stanley Cup? Pronger is for sure a unique game changer -- a top shutdown defender with fantastic offensive skills -- and if it weren't for his two elbow suspensions in the '07 playoffs, he would have been my shoo-in for Conn Smythe. He was easily the most-booed Duck in visiting arenas, which was impressive considering his competition, plus he's useful in front of a microphone -- I do tend to overprioritize things like that.

Thank god he's on the east coast now, or we'd probably get to see a lot more of this:

Oh shit.

The Flyers have gotten off to a quick start with Pronger aboard, winning their first three games before a late loss to the Penguins -- it feels similar to how the Ducks' stormed out of the gate after first acquiring Pronger, though in that Cup season the Ducks didn't suffer a regulation loss until their 17th game. Still, we've seen firsthand the additive power of Pronger -- put him on an already-playoff team and watch out! Talent inserted at the top of a lineup has a nice trickle-down effect of success -- lower players get sheltered into easier roles, and results improve across the board.

What was most awesome about Pronger's three years in Anaheim was the fact that it was really three years of Pronger + Niedermayer, an unreal combination of talent. Pronger was the perfect complement to Scotty, it seemed -- Niedermayer was a rover, Pronger was an anchor -- but both were workhorses. When played apart (as was the norm except on power plays), the duo was able to keep lesser defensive partners afloat and control most minutes of a game. When played together (power plays plus special occasions like shutting down Spezheatledsson or Thorleauguchi), they were unbelievable. By the end of Pronger's time in Anaheim, the power play configuration essentially became Pronger at the point and Scotty at the front of the net, Holmstrom-style -- Pronger's point presence definitely gave Scotty extra license to roam.

I'm still in favor of moving Pronger, btw -- even with the Ducks' struggles and Philly's early success, Pronger had to be moved before that next contract was signed. Philadelphia is now carrying the risk of Pronger's next over-35-multiyear-contract; that's something that likely Anaheim couldn't afford to do. Besides, Luca Sbisa has looked great and Joffrey Lupul has fit in so far (Killing penalties? OMFG!), and I'm still excited for the draft picks, however late in the first round they are.

Still, we had some good fucking times, Pronger. After the jump, a walk down memory lane -- some of Sleek's favorite BoC Pronger-themed art.

Waa! Gimme back my superstar! -- 10/4/06

Pronger's first visit back to Edmonton -- 11/27/06

The B.A. Baracus of the Ducks' A-Team, from G5 of the WCF's gameday post -- 5/20/07

Pronger, Brad May, and Todd Bertuzzi in comic form -- 7/19/07

Sketch in preparation for Ducks/Kings in London, England -- 9/18/07

Pronger (x3), Bertuzzi, and May get featured as part of my updated Duck! logo -- 4/6/08

Corey Perry's elbow acts under the influence of the Captain -- 1/11/09

The Prong-orail, devastating NHL cities after his departure -- 7/9/09

I guess I should be clear -- even though most of these cartoons are mockeries of Pronger's evil side, I'm still a huge fan of the guy -- hey, I'm a sucker for winning. If he stays on the east coast, I probably won't boo him again for the rest of his career (I was a hearty booer before Pronger was a Duck; in fact it was tough not to reflexively boo the guy his first few games -- he had just eliminated the Ducks a couple months earlier). And while I tend to make fun, I've definitely spent a lot of internet ink defending Pronger's elbows and skateblade -- now that he and Brian Burke are gone I figure most of our comment trolls are headed elsewhere.

Godspeed, Pronger. Seriously, dude -- thanks for everything. Worth every penny.

* * *

Incidentally, it's weird how this road trip schedule has gone for the Ducks, at least in regards to baseball playoffs. On Tuesday, the Ducks played in Minnesota, same day as the Twins played their one-game AL Central playoff (Twins and Wild both won in extra innings). On Thursday, the Ducks played in Boston, same day as the Red Sox opened in Anaheim (Bruins and BoSox both got blown out). Today, the Ducks play in Philadelphia, same day as the Phillies play in Colorado. Tomorrow, the Ducks play in New York, same day as the Yankees try to eliminate the Twins. While the timing of visits to these cities do make hockey feel of secondary importance, I guess there's positivity in this trend -- next week the Ducks return to Anaheim, which suggests that the Halos will still be playing. Go Angels.

Prediction: Did you know? In the four seasons since the lockout, the Ducks have earned a win against every other team except one -- they are 0-2-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers. Let's end that today -- Ducks 3, Flyers 2. Goals by Sbisa, Lupul, and Ryan. Naturally, elbow by Pronger.

Go Ducks.

yea i like sbisa..i got a mancrush on him right now..ill admit it..screw u if u think im gay

lupul score a lot on my shitty ps2 nhl 09 game
not sure why i just threw that in..probally cuz u brought his name up

why do we suck so much in philly?…
we should have some type of contest in how long it will take for corey perry to get a pronger elbow to the face..i predict 6 minute mark of the 1st period

or a predication on when the dux fans start hating pronger..id say by the 2nd period

me ive always have been fine with the guy..with the dux and without them..i just like way he plays…i never hated scott stevens either..u need guys like that in the leauge IMO makes the game intresting

Actually, now that I’m thinking back on it, Corey Perry’s elbowing suspension was taken against the Philadelphia Flyers. And Perry got suspended longer for that than both of Pronger’s elbow suspensions combined.

Maybe they’ll have an elbow-to-elbow collision — that’d hurt.

me ive always have been fine with the guy..with the dux and without them..i just like way he plays

Sure, when he’s not in the process of eliminating Anaheim he’s a respectable guy. I liked his elimination of the Wings. :)

OC Register has a short interview with Pronger, and there’s an odd question on whether or not the Ducks ever offered him an extension:

There was nothing ever offered. Things never really got down to that. They obviously have their own issues that they’re trying to deal with and their own direction. They felt like this is the way for them to continue rebuilding and building for the future.

Maybe I’m confused a bit, wouldn’t it be sort of CBA-illegal for the Ducks to have offered him a contract extension? I guess they could have agreed on principle on something, maybe that’s the question, but pre-July 1st I’m pretty sure they couldn’t offer him anything.

by Earl Sleek on Oct 10, 2009 10:29 AM PDT reply actions

Pretty sure you’re right. You can’t negotiate extensions until you’re in the last year of the contract, IIRC. Maybe that’s different for youngsters who are coming up on RFA and not UFA, but I believe that is the case with UFAs at least.

Yup, I bet Perry gets creamed a couple of times tonight as well. He’s been hanging out in front of the net again, which is good, but will result in some scrums. It’s gonna be a fun game to watch.

I do not hate the guy, and I respect him as a player, but I will be booing him tonight. It just feels like the right thing to do, he is not a Duck.

It’d be awesome if the Ducks all came out for the first period in college-style face cages. Probably not awesome in terms of results — I imagine switching gear has its downsides — but I’d laugh a lot.

And it’s not like the Ducks score first period goals anyways — why not?

When Pronger was a Blue, I couldn’t stand the cheap shot asshole.

Somehow, in eliminating the Wings a couple times (something the Blues could never do!) and in very large part because of this blog, I ended up liking him. The way he carried those Oilers and Ducks teams, he kind of crossed to another level, from being a good defensemen who I couldn’t stand to showing that he is one of the very best in the game, and you’ve got to respect that.

It sorta bothers me that I don’t hate the guy anymore. I’ll still call him one of the dirtiest players in the game, and rail on him relentlessly for trying to kill Yzerman, but some how I don’t actually hate the guy anymore. Damn you, Earl.

Had he stayed in the western conference, I think I’d quickly be able to re-hate the guy (while certainly respecting his ability to be hated). But off in that distant eastern conference, I think he’s safe from my pithy wrath.

Plus I have him on my fantasy roster for this year and likely next (one of our keepers has to be a defenseman). Just PIMs tonight, please.

When he was on the Ducks, I had a healthy respect for the dude, but I couldn’t quite outright like him. Now that he’s in the East, I’m openly rooting for the guy. Honestly, if the East doesn’t just roll over for the Crosby & Malkin show and actually punished them for a couple of series, I bet the SCF would’ve turned out differently last year… Let me just finish crying into my drink here.

Really though, I think its damn near embarassing the way Crosby/Malkin/Ovechkin are allowed to freely roam opposition slots and crash the net without ever having been really defended against. I mean, did anyone see that CAR/PIT series last year? I hope Pronger shows that conference how to play defense against a superstar forward like that. Put ’em on their asses.

Heh, I know it’s like the pot calling the kettle black, but your stereo volume quirk is weird.

Truth is, I don’t have any preferences for even numbers over odd, or prime numbers over non-primes, or anything like that. It just bothered me that the thread was only one comment away from being a nice, round number. If it had been 197 or 198, I doubt I would have noticed. Also, I don’t mind clutter/chaos, but when something’s neat and tidy except for just one thing out of place, I feel compelled to fix it. That’s natural, right?
