I'm really happy to see old friend Chris Pronger voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The ultimate honor for an NHL player reaffirms Pronger's true greatness. This selection was inevitable; the 6-6 Pronger stands tall among the best defensemen in NHL history.
Pronger was a towering figure on skates, all arms and legs and carrying a mean stick that gave opposing forwards reason to pause before they wandered into his space. With an extra-long reach, Pronger could easily pluck the puck from opponents or deliver a whack that made them stop in their tracks.
