Picture of the Day: Chris Pronger Scares Little Girls

And the legacy of Chris Pronger grows.

I love this photo because Pronger's expression is so obviously in jest, yet if I were the little girl I'd still be trembling in my booties at the sight of the 6' 6", 220 pound man snarling at me in wolf-like menace, threatened by the mere suggestion of my encroaching on his territory. Yeah.

I also like this photo because it's a split second that could have easily been lost if not for the photographer's quick trigger finger. The NHL is in perpetual need of personality. This is picture perfect.

No pictures of Patrick Kane with goldilocks tresses or Dustin Byfuglien in a cute little blue number, but the Philadelphia Inquirer did give a subtle nod to yesterday's events. Can we all agree that it's a lame response though? Weak...very weak.

There's a picture in today's Chicago Tribune of Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger in a skirt, along with a few select zingers.

"Chrissy Pronger"..."Looks like Tarzan, skates like Jane"...oh goodness. As Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory would say, "Bazinga!"

Next up, Patrick Kane with hair extensions.
