We continue with our Guest Man Crushes. Tonight we've got Matt from the Flyers blog Down Goes Spezza.
Today Chris Pronger played a glorious game leading the Flyers as they fought the good fight against the evil New Jersey Devils. Pronger had one assist, as Mike Richards had a beautiful deflection-goal on a slap shot from Chris Pronger. Chris Pronger was +2 and he played very effective defense against the Devils today. His active stick and monster body were working well as they kept Devils players away from Flyers Goaltender Czar Sergei I. Assistant Captain Elbows also made usage of his nickname by elbowing many Devils players behind the backs of the referees so he never got sent to the box. At the end of the day, Chris Pronger was amazing, and the Flyers made easy work of the Devils 5-3.
Threw that out the window the second this happened...
Taylor Hall is becoming the Matt Duchene (2 points tonight) of the Oilers. His last two weeks have been beastly (at least in comparison to the start of the season, Magnus who?)...his points aren't mind blowing like Crosby (31 points in 15 games) or Stamkos (who's gone ice cold all of the sudden) but they win you hockey games, get you back into games. They're momentum shifters. The Oilers are going to need that going forward if Hemsky is out for the long term. To think I shit all over this kid. Now I just shit all over Matt. Boom.
