Well... well... well... What can I say about this guy?
Hm... What's not to like about him anyway?!
He's really nice and sweet to all his fans, and he's just unbeliveably cool on the ice.
I started to notice the big guy because he's the one who always standing in front of Grant Fuhr most of the time, pushing and knocking down all the guys who were trying to distract Fuhr.
In a more short and simple word, I just love the way he plays the game.
 Traded to St. Louis by Hartford for Brendan Shanahan, July 27, 1995.

And..., like most of you might already know that I'm very proud of this authograph picture,
specially since he puts my name on it.
Some of you might already know about the accident
that happened to Chris Pronger on Game 2, Blues Vs Detroit in playoff (May, 10th'98), where Pronger got hit by a puck on his chest and became unconcious.
That big accident had stopped the game for quite a while. I actually screamed in front of the TV asking him to wake up(it's true, no kidding).
Then, after that game, I'm so worried about him, so I wrote a letter telling about my concern of him, and sent it right away.
Luckily, the big guy is fine, he already played again on game 3.
But then, those happy moment isn't ended there; a couple of week later I got this picture on mail, with his signature on it.
And it become more special to me since I got my name there. It may sounds stupid to make such a big deal about this, but... it is special.
Anyway, you might sound stupid yourself if it happened to you, I guess.
Thank's Chris!!! |
