More on Kesler/Pronger

For those who haven't seen the clearer video clip of Chris Pronger going Michael Flatley on Ryan Kesler, here it is:



Pronger didn't get suspended over this stomp. Chris Simon got 30 games. The argument was that the video was inconclusive, nor does it show intent.

Number one, the new video is definitely clearer and you see Pronger looking down on Kesler before putting his skate on his calf. Number two, intent is never an easy thing to judge, which is why I think professional sports should discipline players based on their actions. Of course no one intends to hurt another player on purpose, but, intentionally or not, they do sometimes, right? They do the crime, they do the time.

Thankfully, Kesler wasn't hurt, but what if he was? I would bet that Chris Pronger would have gotten the Chris Simon treatment (or something close to it). The sad thing is, until someone does get hurt, the league doesn't give two hoots about it.

If he doesn't get suspended for 5-20 games now, then GB and CC should resign from their positions for being incompetent.

Agreed on the injury comment. I thought this year would be different. I figured that since they were dolling out 20-gamers like candy early this year, they would at least give halfhearted suspensions for plays where no one got hurt.

But I guess not. It's been a while since there's been any suspension noise made by Campbell and co. I guess it just proves that they were only looking for attention early on!

I figured at the beginning of the season that the league would give out large penalties to less known players. This proves it that the "super star" players get special treatment because they figure the leauge would lose money with their big players out. I'm really gald that they think its better to get as much money that they can and not care about the integrity of the game.

The problem with Canucks' fans is that they are so desperately in love with their team, they miss reality. Every girl in Surrey over 12 wanted to marry the goon Betruzzi after the Moore incident, and know everyone is blind to see that: 1)Kessler grabbed hold of Pronger nd wouldn't let him go; 2) Kessler is one of the league's biggest sh*t disturbers and deserves what he gets.
