Chris pronger is better then lidstrom. prove me wrong?

Question

chris pronger played on the crappy blues all those years.

pronger goes to edmonton BOOM there in the cup finals

pronger goes to the ducks BOOM they win the cup

Answer 1

BOOM!

Answer 2

All I have to say is how many Norris Trophies has Pronger won???  In addition Lidstrom now has 4 Cups and is a sure bet Hall of Famer.

Answer 3

How do you convince someone that is so far far up on Prongers jock, of anything?  Dont be a hater, because your little quackers got spanked ion the first round. The Ducks cup was a fluke, and they proved their team is a fraud. Pronger, is an average defensman, with a hard shot. The new style of the game has passed him by, and he will continue to look sub-par over the next few years.

Answer 4

Hey genius, Lidstrom has won an MVP, OF THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!  

Lidstrom has:

More career goals

More career Assists

More career Points

Higher career +/-

etc etc etc

Seriously, besides hits and PIMs, name one stat that Pronger has thats better than Lidstroms in their careers.  Even Bobby Orr said that Lidstrom is the best player in the game today, but hey, I guess you would know better than him, huh?

Answer 5

Career NHL Stats (Regular Season / Playoffs):

Goals

CP: 131  / 20

NL: 212 / 42

Granted, I'll give you that Lidstrom has played two seasons more than Pronger.  I doubt two seasons is going to make up all that difference, though!

Answer 6

I say when you way things out their about even.

Answer 7

Lidstrom- soon to have his sixth Norris to Pronger's one?

Lidstrom- four Stanley Cups to Pronger's one?

Lidstrom- described by the rest of the NHL players as the best defeseman they've ever seen? Even a grudging retired Canadien (I can't remember which) said Lidstrom is better than Doug Harvey, who was considered the all time best before Orr.

Pronger is decent and a hard hitter with some leadership qualities, but he's also not above spearing, headhunting or downright cowardly play when it suits him. Lidstrom stays out of the box and on the ice, where he can kill you on the power play or penalty kill.

BOOM! You missed, but nice fireworks.

Only someone from Dryden, Ontario would think Pronger is better.

Answer 8

sure.  Lidstrom has won the Norris trophy 5 times already and is a sure thing to win it again this year, 3 Stanley cups, is a reliable leader in plus minus, 938 points, and a gold medal.

Answer 9

who has the cup right now?? oh thats right..lindstrom

Answer 10

Wake up!!! There you are wrong.

Answer 11

How many Stanley Cup Rings does Lidstrom have?

Answer 12

That's true, but Lidstrom has more Norris trophies and has won four Cups with the Wings. It's all in the wording.

Answer 13

You may be right, Pronger might be better than Lidstrom, but at what??? Indoor waterskiing?

Answer 14

Pronger didnt lead his team to the Stanley Cup this year did he? That alone is one reason Lidstrom is the better of the 2.

Answer 15

They are both good but Lindstrom is the better player.

Champions are won by teams. A goalie could be average but have a great team and have " a good season " then win the cup. Great goalies can carry an average team.

Lindstrom is the best defenceman in the league right now.

Answer 16

Sorry but Lidstrom is better in every aspect of the game besides checking..............BOOM

Answer 17

How many cups does Pronger have?

How many Norris Trophys? (Cheli even has more than Pronger does)

I dont like Pronger and I never will. He doesnt have the class Lidstrom does, not even to fill his pinky finger.  He is not a leader like Nick is either.  Never has and never will be.

Answer 18

What is wrong with you people?You guys are starting to sound like football fans....winning stanley cups doesn't mean your good.h**l what if you win 20 stanley cups but only had 1 point for your whole career....does that make you good?

Don't get me wrong,Pronger is a great player but he doesn't compare to Lidstrom.Lidstrom can move the puck very well and can put up 60+ points every season.Pronger doesn't put up that well of points but he does play good defensivley.So all in all if your going for a defensive team get Pronger,if your gonna have more of an offensive team get Lidstrom.

Answer 19

BOOM Pronger's an ***!

Answer 20

you can hit lidstrom in the chest with a puck and his heart wont stop.....BOOM

Answer 21

Lidstrom is already a 5 time winner of the Norris Trophy and has been a finalist 9 out of the last 10 seasons.  He had another stellar season leading the Red Wings to the Presiden’t Cup for the league’s best record, while amassing a league best for defenseman 70 points.

Answer 22

Pronger has won the SC only once. Case closed. Boom!

Plus, Pronger is dirty both on and off the ice.  He keeps having to leave the state b/c of his midnight rendezvous.

Answer 23

in my opinion they both stink.

Answer 24

how many times has lindstrom been suspended for a dirty hit???? how many times has pronger been suspended for a dirty hit????lindstrom is a great dman and doesn't have to resort to stomping on his opponents!!!!

Answer 25

We all know Lidstrom will never kill someone on the ice.  We can't say that about Pronger.

Lidstrom is the main reason for four Stanley Cups.  Watch what happens to the Wings after he retires.  They will be decent, but not a yearly contender.

NO Johnny Outlaw... Lidstrom, not Lindstrom.  Don't make me go on another one of my "get Lidstrom's freakin' name right" rants.

Answer 26

hmmm how many times has pronger been suspened? and Lidstrom?  Pronger is dirty

Answer 27

Ask yourself these three questions and they will answer yours

1)  who has won more cups???

2) how many career points does chris pronger have and how many does Lidstrom have?

3) Who has consistently been THE BEST defenceman in the NHL?

This is an answer to what (King) is furious today!!!  said,

Its one thing if the player has 20 cups but only scored one point but thats not the case right now. If anything without Lidstrom's leadership and talent Detroit wouldn't have had as much success as they has have this year.

Answer 28

4 Stanley Cups and 5 Norris Trophies can't be a fluke (6 when he wins this year).

Answer 29

I suppose your better than Lidstrom as well.

Answer 30

I think Meghan just proved it pretty good. Thanks for doing the research Meghan. Pronger can't hold a candle to Lidstrom. He's just a thug w/ a big slapshot.

Answer 31

you cant tell whos better and whos not better in the nhl

they both play different

ones good now may not be good laater...
