Reminder: The Chris Pronger tribute contest continues

By Greg Wyshynski

Please recall that we are the proud sponsors of Chris Pronger's page on Hockey-Reference.com. With great sponsorship comes great responsibility, as we're tasked with creating the official slogan that will appear above his statistics for the next year. The current page reads: "Chris Pronger: A suspension waiting to happen."

This is a B-minus effort; we're looking for an A-plus. So last week we asked you to provide the snarky tribute to the Anaheim Ducks defenseman, and received some absolute comedy gold:

• "When authorities take away your right to elbow, don't forget that you have stomping options."
• "This page brought to you by FCP Crib Burning Services LTD. Burning athlete's crib's since '06."
• "Lauren Pronger: The Pants of the Relationship "
• "That other guy from the Lidstrom era."
• "Chris Pronger: Plays the way Jagr looks in a dress."

Much like 100 hockey announcers chained together at the bottom of the ocean, we consider this to be a good start. Keep the submissions coming through Friday in the comments section here or on the original blog post. Keep it PG-13, but more importantly keep it under 255 characters (not words ... characters).

Thanks again to the puckheads who have contributed so far to our celebration of Chris Pronger, his sportsmanship and his legacy. What we're looking for is the eloquent, thoughtful, literary version of the following clip:

    Chris Pronger is a man just waiting to be murdered. Oh, wait...I forgot. Detroit has already done that to him for his entire career.

    Peaked when he was with the Whale...all downhill since. Classless scum. That's about as far as I can go and still keep it pg-13.

    Pronger actually did not murder the Wings. The only person responsible for beating the Wings last year was Giguere. The Ducks were outplayed the whole time the goalie saved the day for them and no one else. If you disagree your in denial.

    When Life throws Pronger at you, you'd better 'duck' the elbows and jump the skate blades.

    Chris Pronger...because Sean Avery can't reasonably be expected to despoil the dignity of NHL on both coasts.

    This thread is hilarious - you're telling me you wouldn't be thrilled if your team signed Pronger tomorrow?!? You all would be doing handsprings.
    Yeah he's mean and nasty - that's his game, and it works well.

    Pronger - the queen of cheap shots. Hope Todd goes Bertuzzi on him at practice and ends his misery

    Red Wings are a great team - very skilled, and Babcock is probably the best coach in the NHL, they'll win the Cup this year. But don't tell me those guys are all angels, there's some nastiness going on there too (granted not as much as other teams) it's part of the game - wasn't it Osgood who butt-ended Ribero in the face at the end of Game 2?

    As a Native to St. Louis I cheered loudly the day we lost Pronger only to find another pile of garbage in Brewer and Mckee.

    Pronger has never been a force, but has always had the luck to be surrounded by talent that carries him. Just like a child, when he doesn't get his way he resorts to elbows, crosschecks, stomping...
    I'm not a supporter of cheap shots, but someone needs to geve him a taste of his own medicine to the point of ending his (joke) career.
