Damn right dude. Why couldnt he hit shoulder to shoulder?? He always went for the head. Lindros, Kariya, Francis, etc.

Karma is a female dog.

It's why I keep hoping for Matt Cooke to blow out a knee and for James Neal to suffer a concussion. Guys like that deserve to get hurt!

You can thank Pavel Kubina for that.

And people say he never did anything for the Flyers.

I did too. He was a hell of a Dman. What cracks me up is everyone loves Pronger but he was just as dirty a player as Stevens was. Everyone just hates him because of the whole Lindros thing.

There is a difference between playing nasty (Pronger) and deliberately trying to head hunt and end careers (Stevens). I can't remember Pronger ever coming across mid ice and launching his forearm or elbow directly at another player's head.

Pronger stomped on a guy's leg. Pretty tasteless.

Lindros was pretty dirty too.

So you don't think that's a valid reason?

Also, from what I've seen, Pronger wasn't elbow to the face dirty. He was slash to the back of the knees dirty. Big difference.

Stevens whole career was based around elbowing people in the head. Without that he would have been nothing special.

Many people around the league say the same thing about Pronger. I just think the "Intentially trying to injure people" thing is overexaggerated by Flyers fans due to the whole Lindros debacle. I'm not the head of the Stevens fan club or anything I just don't think he's as big a scum as everyone says. Just my opinion

Sure it's a valid reason. I just don't share this feeling

Mine for battlefield 1942 is usually around 300, which gets the job done.

Besides maybe Pronger, I can't think of a defenseman in the past twent-five years whose mere presence on the ice made opposing players intimidated to even go up the middle or into corners.

I think Pronger was the 'dirtier' player... Stevens was really good at hurting guys.

I'd take either one on my team... for my own players' safety.
