Can't debate Pronger was a force to be reckoned with. But you know the above about Toews how?

because Crosby asked his permission to be captain once

(what a load of stupid that whole story was, btw)

I think Pronger had a legendary handle on the media. G is good with them but Pronger would hand them their crap right back and they'd lick it off his fingers and beg for more. I miss his looks of "you're an idiot and you know it", or "REALLY? Did you just lower yourself to ask me that" look.
In other aspects I think G does a fine job...

I enjoyed G telling the media horde "one at a time, guys" last night when they were talking over the top of each other.

Prongler had Tim fawning over him. C'mon, Panotch named his cat after the guy, he was so smitten.

Short of being in the locker room or hanging with these guys on a regular basis, I'm just not sure where some of these ideas come from.

Pronger's interviews were less civilized but no less on the point. You always knew it was Pronger who was talking, hahaha.
I missed the game last night as we had guests over so I can't comment on last night

No one's calling Crosby a great leader simply because he won. People called Jason Smith a great captain without ever having won a Cup. Dave Poulin is considered the second best Flyers captain ever, and he never won. Brind'Amour was a great captain prior to winning in Carolina.

I don't. But part of Toews' status, to me, is that he is a very no-nonsense guy on the ice, and carries himself with a quiet dignity off of it. Like I said, he's the closest thing to a modern day Beliveau.

If the Flyers were a true team with GUTS and not a fake team, they would have Weber as captain, Stamkos and Ryan as alternates (Giroux on the Phantoms to learn how to lead). Next captain when Weber retires: Chris Pronger's son
