from Mark Whicker of the OC Register,
He was the elephant in the room, although he looked more like a giraffe.
Really, Chris Pronger was, and is, one of those mythical combo beasts, taller than any hockey player anyone had seen, with nostrils of fire, a cold stare, a shortage of remorse.
“When he walked in,” Todd Marchant said Friday, “you knew he was there.”
“Sure, he was intimidating,” Ryan Carter said. “I used to play him in video games. Now all of a sudden I’m on the ice and he’s playing behind me, and I’m thinking, boy, I better not mess this up.”
Now some 22-year-old in Philadelphia is feeling those feelings, hearing those gibes, dressing in a room where much of the air is taken up by the beast.
