Adam Burish Still Wants to Punch Chris Pronger

Victory can go a long way toward soothing battle wounds.

But not for Adam Burish.

Moments after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in Philadelphia, Burish had some choice words for the Flyer’s defensman.

β€œI think Chris Pronger is the biggest idiot in the league,” Burish said. β€œI can’t stand him one bit. I hope I never have to see him again. If I see him, I’ll punch him.”

Pronger was the object of scorn (and ridicule) among many Chicago fans. His on-ice performance gave the 'Hawks headaches for much of the series.

This city's animosity  culminated with a Chicago Tribune cover depicting Pronger in a figure skater's skirt.
