]]> <![CDATA[Chris Pronger: Victim of Circumstance Or Thuggish Douche?]]> Notice that Pronger & Lindros are OUTSIDE the men's room. Coincidence? I think not!

Also, is it just me or is Lindros throwing Hextall his shirt after their 3 way and saying, "Nice four & five hole, dry yourself off"....

Finally: Pronger = Douchebag. Can't stop laughing about the hit where he tried to up-end Stevie Y in the playoffs and ended up blowing his own knee out. See what I mean. Douchebag defined.

]]> <![CDATA[Chris Pronger: Victim of Circumstance Or Thuggish Douche?]]> How the predators can beat Calgary and Dallas on the road, and then lose to the worst team in the west at home, I'll never know. Trotz keeps fucking with the lines all the time, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Most goals weren't Ellis' fault last night, lots of tip ins. LA's goalie had a helluva game, we should've had atleast 2-3 goals if not for some nice saves.

Roy appeared to give Cote the neck-slash sign that he was going to kill the Flyers' heavyweight. That's not right, either. The NHL frowns on that.

What? Killing? I think it's OK as long as the victim is back for the next home series.
