My source is MAB. That's the news they had at this morning's practice.

And it's 5 games minimum. They said the lenght is still undetermined.

MAB will be in the lineup saturday against St.Louis, paired with O'Donnell.

If this is true, I'm fine with it. Five games is getting off easy for what Pronger did.

He was, but with this new close-up view of the incident, I think the league might be able to tak another look at it.

Sorry but it's true.

It will be announced shortly I guess.

I'm just trying to pass you the informations I have a chance to get first hand.

It's not a good news.

I agree. Campbell doesn't have the stones to suspend Pronger longer than 3.

So Pronger is gone for five games (pr something), he comes back at start of playoffs ready to play. This also gives a chance for MAB to get into some sort of form before the playoffs.

Well it's 5 minimum. And it's pending further review.

That's what the players have been told this morning.

I think they are preparing for the worst case scenario which could be a suspension for the rest of the regular season.

No, not really. This isnt the court of law.

When MAB played for the Oilers, Guy Flaming (Oilers writer) confirmed with MAB that the Goon was indeed a friend, and accurate...so he's legit.

I'm totally fine with him being suspended for the rest of the regular season, too. That's 9 games, which I think should satisfy most (but obviously not all) people. As long as he's ready to go for the playoffs, I'm okay with it.

I can vouch for GOON's relationship with MAB. It was confirmed to be true when Bergeron was an Oiler.

I've never known him to post anything that wasn't later confirmed.

So just going way out on a limb here, you guys don't think he should get 30 games like Chris Simon did?
Same type of infraction and both have had multiple suspensions.

I think the rest of the Regular season and first 2 games of Playoffs is a pretty big deal.

I think he should be granted a lifetime pass to Disneyland and Ryan Kesler's girlfriend.

Leg locks will not be tolerated in the NHL!

Had Simon not been fresh off a 25 game suspension, he wouldn't have recieved 30 games for his stomp. Pronger hasn't had anything remotely close to a 25 game suspension in his life, so no, there's no way in hell he gets 30 games.

I'm watching prongers point of view on tsn.ca

Reporter: Did you get a chance to see the footage?
Pronger: Well, I was there?????

Lifetime suspension for Reporter

Not saying Simon isn't technically more of an offender, just saying that Pronger is no angel, and certainly deserves some attention in this matter.

Edit:
I despise Kesler and still have a small amount of love for what pronger did for the Oilers.

Sorry no link yet.

Then no thread, unless there is a validated source.


I don't meant to put the kibosh on the discussion, but it's clearly outlined in the FAQ.
