NHL legend Chris Pronger did not hold back his words, as he stated that he wants to see the Oilers go hard and bump into the Flames goalie, as well as make big hits. Hall of Fame legend Chris Pronger, a key contributor to Edmonton's 2006 Stanley Cup Final run, <a href='https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/edmonton-oilers-stuart-skinner-injury-evander-kane-mikko-rantanen' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>weighed in on what the Oilers need to do</a> with regard to opponents who get too careless with their goalie. Speaking on the Ray & Dregs podcast, Pronger said: Well, first and foremost, if the sole purpose is to protect your goalie and be like, 'Okay, you're not touching the goalie, running the goalie,' then you take the hardest, toughest penalty you possibly can on one of their best players, and then you go down the other end and you bump their goalie. And ultimately, are there going to be penalties? Yes, but in the long run, you're sending a message and setting the tone of:this is not allowed. And if you continue to do it, then there will be repercussions. If you have to take a suspension, then you take one. I'm sorry, but you have to set the tone. And they should have done it a long time ago. This was prompted by Mikko Rantanen's <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/oilers-receive-bad-injury-news-on-stuart-skinner-after-mikko-rantanen-knees-him-in-the-head' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>blow that knocked</a> out Stuart Skinner from Wednesday's game. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dstaples/status/1905119054639284705'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <h3>Pronger said the Oilers can also use the McDavid-Garland situation as a lesson</h3> Pronger mentioned how the Oilers reacted when Vancouver's Connor Garland pushed around Connor McDavid. Said Pronger: It can always go back to that too and just be like, 'You're not going to be allowed to do that to our players.' In the next game, Corey Perry attacked Quinn Hughes in a brawl and flipped him over his head in revenge. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dstaples/status/1882644903202623969'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> With the Flames pushing hard to make the playoffs, and with the Oilers no longer going to be pushed around, tonight's game is shaping up to be one for the ages, and everyone will be watching across the Nation.
