Chris Pronger, who today would end up like him?

[JP Nolan]

Brandon Carlo has some similarities...Not as mean.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Some Oiler fans will still proclaim Nurse

You have a weird obsession about the oilers.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Pronger is the GOAT at keeping pucks in at the blueline.

I used to get so f***ing pissed seeing that guy leap ten feet into the air to glove down what looked like sure clears.

 

[Brock Radunske]

I keep seeing all these suggestions followed by "not as physical" or "not as mean"

That's part of what made him impossible to play against. Without that, you're just describing a big defenceman.

 

[HanSolo]

Zdeno Chara and Shea Weber are the only 2 that come to mind.

They're probably the closest in style and impact but they didn't quite reach what he could do on the ice.

 

[triggrman]

Angry Weber in his prime was close.

Not mean true angry type defensemen left.

Angry Weber in his prime was close.

Not mean true angry type defensemen left.

Buff? Not in Pronger's class but he brings it physically.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Sam Morin

 

[Highmarker]

Thing is there really hasn't been anybody like Pronger. Guy was absolutely amazing. If i had to pick somebody though i guess it would have been Shea Weber.

 

[triggrman]

Buff? Not in Pronger's class but he brings it physically.

Not really angry type. Physical but nno lose control angry.

 

[golgoXIII]

you'll have to put Alex Pietrangelo talent + Tom Wilson style

 

[StoneHands]

Sam Morin

You have a really weird obsession with the Flyers.

 

[Hansen]

Canucks had Nikita Tryamkin tied to a chair watching Pronger highlights during travel days

 

[Sky04]

You can't be as cocky or as straight forward as the 90's players were, sensitive media and fans would cry over it. Gotta give politically correct answers all the time and kids from a young age are media trained to do so.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Zadorov if he picked his offensive game up by about 10 levels.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Erik Karlsson or Shea Weber

HM: Subban, Byfuglien

They aren't even close.
