Spittin' Chiclets Interviews Chris Pronger - Full Interview

[@Weekend658]

Pronger, held me on his lap at age 4 in Cleveland Ohio. I was the youngest player in their hockey camp to ever play. Between the years with Pronger being a celebrity coach & the Harkins brothers, running those camps, I am so grateful My brother almost went pro at 16, after USA Selects & I was a late bloomer at age 22. God, doesn’t make mistakes.. injuries kept us from the Show, but you and Harkins gave us training we will never forget. Thank you Chris.

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

I appreciate how candid Chris was. It's hard to imagine this easygoing, hilarious dude being a total beast on the ice, but he was. As a teenager, I tried playing like him.

[@johnf.rancoeur8191]

Lol. Like hitting people to the head and stomping on somebody's leg with your skate? I bet your father was proud.

[@jrodgers211]

When I was a kid he was my favorite player along with Rob Blake and Scott Stevens

One of the GOATs for sure, could have dominated in any era.

[@johnf.rancoeur8191]

Could have been a goat in WWE. Too dirty to be considered a goat in NHL. Just a more recent version of Scott Stevens and the latest destroyed so many careers that he shouldn’t even be in the HoF.

Huge piece in that run.

[@justinlavigne4852]

I was a fan before Pronger came here to Edm but watching him here live that season.....the dude was a BEAST. He's the reason they made a run at the cup. Period. Great interview boys. Nice job!

[@hainers2711]

I really hope you guys start just posting the video of all pods from now on. Love seeing the boys reactions!

[@BlissFortress]

One of the best hour and 23 minutes I've ever spent. Nice job everyone!

[@brettbarreras48]

Pronger wasn’t on the ducks for long but man was he incredible for us. Major part of our Stanley cup run. Brought such toughness and veteran leadership. I’ll never forget how great that team was

[@gracesuyat2919]

He should've won the Conn Smythe that year. His 1st year after being traded from Edmonton, who he brought to the cup final the year before as well, and the Ducks win the cup

[@joeq.public281]

"us"? Were you on the roster?

[@phantom6715]

Excellent interview. Pronger became my favorite defensman when he played in Philly.

[@GlobalVeteranStories]

This was such an amazing interview! Chris’s memory is insane with fine details in stories!

[@johnf.rancoeur8191]

Yeah he's was mostly giving hits to the head to others so they have memory problems and he doesn't

[@GlobalVeteranStories]

49:20 you're gonna get some lumps somewhere. It may not be on that play...but youre getting it. Best part

[@TheSwede9]

How good of a guy is Pronger. Not just thought-through answers to absolutely everything but even when talking and wrapped up in a story he makes sure to make eye contact with the guy who asked it. I know he's media trained but still. All these podcasts just make me appreciate everyone so much more once you get to know what they're like off the ice too. Killer interview and a pure beast on the ice. Grant Fuhr (and Sean Burke just as much of a favorite) used to be my heroes back when I was a young goalie so hearing these stories and how he threw a little shade to the replacement goalies that season after Fuhr got injured in St. Louis was on point and I hadn't thought of that in forever, haha. You guys put out some great content.

A bunch of guys and fans might've soured to the dude from (their guys) getting merk'd by him, but he's such a delightful and fun guy! These interviews are a gold mine! Why am I only now getting around to checking these out?! :D

[@Sabotage_Labs]

Yup...kinda hated him...until he got to my Flyers lol. Well, never hated him like I hate Hatcher, Stephens or Claud the Turtle....lol. Just hated that he wasn't a Flyer and crushing my boys 😉. He was a total beast mode eh!

[@Nay-kp6uu]

He seems like such a nice guy, but on the ice he was such a demon.

[@September2004]

He's retired now. Brian Burke said he used to complain about everything (coffee not being hot enough, etc) but maybe that's how needed to be to play the way he does.

[@johnhoward2481]

THIS GUY WAS A FUCKING ANIMAL ON THE ICE! & I say that with the highest respect if there ever was a compliment I could give! He & Bobby Clarke were 2 of the meanest superstars to ever play! It's no coincidence that this guy & his teams went to the Stanley Cup finals so many times!! He knew how to win & he didn't give 2 fucks who he destroyed in the process! Imagine if Chara had some Chris Pronger in him!!

[@lc389]

He was a true hockey player, one you’d want on your team if you wanted to win. Tough. Fierce. Skilled. Mean. Yes, dirty at times. But man, the guy was awesome. So nice off the ice too. To play against Pronger in his prime would have been hell.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

loved pronger..wow always wanted to see an in depth interview with him..good job guys

Easily one of the best defenseman my eyes have ever watched. I would stay up late (on the east coast) to watch him and Niedermeyer play in Anaheim. Maybe the tough love from Keene early on molded him into a legendary player!
