[edit] Pronunciation of Name
Is the G supposed to pronounced (like in "finger") or not (like in "singer")? I've heard broadcasters use both terms, and they're not known for being reliable anyway. 70.153.213.68 02:10, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
The 'g' is pronounced like the 'g' in 'finger'...Chris Pron-Gurr
[edit] Best player(s) in 2006 NHL playoffs
The current article contains the following statement:
He was also the best players in NHL playoffs in 2006, leading the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Final.
Obviously, this sentence is grammatically incorrect. I would suppose that it was meant to read as:
He was also one of the best players in the 2006 NHL playoffs, leading ...
Unfortunately, someone skimming may read it as:
He was also the best player...
This of course may be held as an opinion, but certainly is not factual. In fact, the Conn Smythe Trophy, which is awarded to the "Most Valuable Player in the Stanley Cup Playoffs" was given to Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward in 2006.
[edit] Unencyclopdic?
"He can use his 6'6" (198 cm) frame to reach pucks and physically dominate the opposition." Writing of this nature should not be in an encylopedia entry. I'm deleting it. If someone disagrees, tell me why and then replace it. Sven Erixon 07:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- No, I agree. I was eyeing that before and thinking of removing it. I left it alone until the vandals finally gave up on this page. Looks like you just beat me to it. Resolute 02:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Numbers
Check the total amounts of the points for the seniors on the main page since there are many errors.
- Like what? The olympic numbers, at least, are accurate according to TSN.ca. If there are glaring errors, feel free to correct them. Though I am curious what source you have that indicates an error. Resolute 02:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Weasel Words
My addition of the weasel template was directed at "was considered by some to be impatient and immature." in the first paragraph. Who are these anonymous people? See WP:WEASEL for suggestions. ccwaters 15:54, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Dunno who these people were at the time, but the reputation appears to have followed Pronger, as it was repeated in an nhl.com article this past June. That said, I am not entirely certain that statement really belongs, as "impatient and immature" could describe many rookie atheletes. Resolute 16:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trade to Anaheim
Can someone give me more information as to what his wife was bitching about? WTF is so bad about edmonton that she forced Pronger to give up a supporting city and move again. Hopefully it isn't the case of some American Yuppie bitch who can't stand the idea of "snow" in "winter". I would greatly appreciate more links that detail the situation better. HEck, guide me to some message boards or something, i really want to know wtf Mrs. Pronger's problem with Edmonton was. --The Animal 00:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- A rumor was floating around blogs that Pronger impregnated a TV journalist. Not verified, not encyclopedic. All that's known officially is that she was unhappy.
-
- Not to mention, the rumor was false. Christy Chorley put up cease and desist warnings on her website about spreading the rumor. The real reason was that her wife (and possibly kids) didn't like what Edmonton had to offer. I am an Oilers fan, and I can't see Pronger throwing away the chance to be on a contending team on his own. I would live for 5 years in Alaska if it meant I had a chance to get my name on the cup.
