Pronger Gets Eight Games

The verdict is in. Chris Pronger gets suspended eight games for his stomp on Ryan Kesler (TSN.ca):
The National Hockey League has handed Anaheim Ducks defenceman Chris Pronger an eight-game suspension for stomping on Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler in a game Wednesday night.

The team has nine games remaining in the regular season, starting Saturday night against the St. Louis Blues. He is eligible to return for the team's final game on Apr. 6 against the Phoenix Coyotes.
I suppose it's better than nothing. Though it would've been nice, I wasn't expecting him to get the same 30 games that Chris Simon got. I thought though that the action alone would have been worth at least ten games. I mean, it's not like Pronger has been suspended seven times before. Oh, wait a minute. Instead, because the Ducks have nine regular season games left, Pronger gets a nice little rest before the playoffs start.
