Really? I don't see that this one is particularly bad (other than the fact that because of the puck positioning it probably should have been called for interference), it looks pretty borderline to me. The Weight hit was purely incidental, I can't see how you could possibly conceive of it being predatory (unless you are a Canes fan with an axe to grind). The Weight hit was worse? Really?

Seriously? He's an incredible offensive talent. I find the Weight hit to be much worse than this thing. That hit on Sutter was predatory. Getzlaf has no talent at anything else? Seriously?

Not only was it interference (as noted) - but he throws his elbow up at the end of it (like he timed the elbow too late). In addition to putting Datsyuk in danger, he endangers his own teammate by almost catching him in the head with his stick to accomplish the hit. I'm all for aggressive, rough play (and I've doled out plenty myself) but it's the NHL, not MMA. Chris Pronger SHOULD be fired into the sun.

Get rid of him. He needs another Lidstrom slapshot to the chest to keep him in line for the final few years of his career. Pronger is trash. Get rid of him.

But in typical piece of crap pronger fashion he is head hunting. pronger saw Pavel, how could you not, and you can see him lean into the hit right when he is making contact with Pavel's head. Another intent to injure is what it really looks like to me. He should be fined and suspended, especially with a history like his. One of the dirtiest players in the game right now. However i do agree with C3, hockey is a rough sport, but you do have to protect the players, they should be allowed to hit, but hits to the head are not needed, especially when the player isnt even near the puck. players like Kronwall, Phenauf, those type of players hit people correctly and they are fun to watch, pronger is just out to hurt people and that isnt part of the game.

But this time i totally disagree!!!! i also do not think pronger made any move to go straight at datsyuk.. he wasnt even looking in my opinion Earlier in the game perry took a dirty elbow to the head while against the wall. the ducks got a 2 minute PP but no one is complaining about that. I dont remember the name of the detroit player but he is shorter than Perry(think about it!!!) And for getz being a dirty player i disagree... he is just one of the most powerful players in the game!!!and if he throws you around like a ragdoll, get stronger and reverse the role!!! i was at the game and saw the hit on youtube many times and not once did i see pronger raise his elbow off the side off his body in a motion to hit datsyuk in the face(until after the hit), also look at the where datsyuk has his head… i agree pronger can play dirty and when you stomp on someone with your skate you need to fired to the sun.
