Well, Briere, Hartnell, and Leino are also all at different points in their career and, therefore, are going to get dealt with a bit differently. Giroux was also especially bad the other night.
If you saw Pronger's interviews in the locker room after the game, he was genuinely unhappy with how they payed.
Yeah I saw the interview... Once again, I don't think it was a bad thing I just think that the blame can fall on a lot of guys shoulders, especially the guys that have been in the league a lot longer. Plus I didn't like how Homer went public with it, it should have been kept in the lockeroom between the players and coaches.
I expect G's line to have a good game tonight. If we can gets Mike's line scoring we should roll over Atlanta. I am glad Chris got on him, The kid impresses me with his vision,grit, skating, defense, passing and scoring. Sometimes you need to rein that **** in a bit. This team needs G and Jeff. They are a major part of our core and future of this team.
The Flyers keep saying Chris Pronger’s right hand injury isn’t serious. Yet Pronger missed another game Saturday night.
This time, he entered the building wearing a supportive wrist brace on the right hand. Most days, we’ve seen him in a bubble cast of nothing but ice on the wrist and hand.
General manager Paul Holmgren was expected to meet with the media on Saturday.
“We miss him in the lineup,” coach Peter Laviolette said. “The fact he is not in there, everybody gets concerned about that. He plays 22, 25 minutes … He’s a guy who does a lot of things for us. Plays in a lot of situations. Certainly, you’d like to have him in the lineup.”
There are 14 games remaining after Saturday before the playoffs begin and you have to wonder what kind of condition Pronger is going to be in.

But Briere, Hartnell, and Leino shouldn't be dealt with differently. If anything, because they're "veterans" they should be the ones who are dealt with more severely because they're supposed to be the examples that the younger players are to follow. Essentially what you're saying is that they deserve a free pass where a younger player should be held accountable. That's the problem with hockey - it's always easy to blame a younger player than it is a veteran, but it's the veteran who should know better.

Like I said, I still think Pronger singled out Giroux simply because he sees something special in him and that he wants to help Claude bring his game to the next level. Look at the influence Chris had on guys like Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. He called those guys out too and they brought their games to the next level as a result.
Getting hit by a puck in the arm and hand area is two different beast.
I'm sure if the kid hit you with the puck in the hand there is a high chance you could break your wrist.
Oh well he hit me in the forearm but not the hand so it wasn't as bad. I was just kidding anyway it was just a small black and blue but man did I feel it haha
the right to get in a HHOF'ers face(Pronger) because he's criticized by him?
I guess because Giroux kinda snuck in the All Sar game that gives him the right to run his mouth in the Flyer's lockeroom at 23 ?

Really ?
How many rings does Claude have ?
Any opinions ?
Is this a joke? I'm pretty sure I saw that Pronger called HIM out. Not the other way around.

Kids, this is why you don't do drugs. No, I don't care about Charlie Sheen. You will never be like him, but there is a good chance that you will be like that guy. And that would suck.
Not to open this can of worms (though I know I am), but what has Richards been saying about their lacklustre play of late to his teammates?
As I understand it, Pronger handles the media and Richards handles the locker room. Richards prefers to take guys aside instead of calling them out. They have a lot of locker room voices.

Nothing for Briere? Richards? Leino?
I doubt you'll see Pronger call out Richards. Not supposed to do that to a captain. I'm sure they talk. Everything Pronger says about Richards is overly supportive. A little too overly supportive publically.

Can not call the captain out publicly, that would be an awful idea. Media would get ahold of it and create a rift in the lockerroom. If Pronger has something to say to Richards, the door is closed for the conversation.

Actually, writers reporting a "nose to nose" confrontation between the two, OK ?
Giroux needs to shut his pie hole around seasoned vets, even Shelley has said there's a rift in the locker room.....Giroux needs to understand his "place"
