The suspension is uncalled for in my eyes. The refs should have called a penalty, or maybe even a double.
Just the NHL trying to make an example.
We held ground without him last time, so we can do ita gain.
The line took a big shift. I'll be on the Ducks tommorow.

chris neil had a similar play in game 3 and it went uncalled.....neil took 6 stides at andy mcdonald(i think it was), and that play went unpenalized, and no suspension....but no doubt pronger desereves the suspension.....he himself admitted that he deserved it....Leave a comment:

being his 2nd of the playoffs I think they should've given him a couple games. If it was jobber Brad May getting his 2nd suspension they woulda come harder at him for his 2nd but Pronger gets the kid gloves treatment.Leave a comment:

Pronger out for Game 4
Ducks star defenseman Pronger suspended for Game 4
June 3, 2007
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
OTTAWA -- Anaheim Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger received a one-game suspension Sunday for his hit to the head of Ottawa Senators forward Dean McAmmond in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
Pronger, who also was given a one-game ban during the Western Conference finals, leveled McAmmond with an arm to the head Saturday night in the Ducks' 5-3 loss to the Senators. Pronger will miss Game 4 of the series, that Anaheim leads 2-1, on Monday night. He is eligible to return for Game 5 back in Anaheim on Wednesday.
It is the sixth career suspension for the 6-foot-6, 220-pound, hard-hitting defenseman. During the Western Conference final against Detroit, Pronger was suspend for Game 4 after a hit to the head of Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom against the boards.
Pronger wasn't penalized on the ice for either of the hits that led to his postseason suspensions.
