If Chris Pronger doesn't get at least 15 games for intent to injure Ryan Kessler I will be convinced that he has photos on Colie Campbell or his son Gregory Campbell. Maybe one of the Campbell's are client #8? Haha just kidding but Pronger has been getting away with murder for years and the league really needs to clamp down. If you watch the video you can clearly see Pronger look down and stomp Kessler's calf. This is clearly a case of intent to injure. Both players are very lucky that Ryan didn't suffer a major injury as the back side of players calves are not protected well by hockey shin guards. Its funny how the NHL treats the haves and the have nots differently. If a 3rd or 4th line player with Chris' rep did this they would be gone for at least 20 games. Here's a look at Pronger's most recent dirty plays and soft suspensions.
Compliments of TSN.ca: Pronger has been suspended seven times in his career, with the most recent ones handed down during the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring. He received a one-game suspension from the NHL last May for his hit on Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final, and was suspended for a game in June for hitting Ottawa's Dean McAmmond in the head with his forearm during the third period of the Senators' 5-3 win in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
