edmontonsun.com - Oilers - Body blow

Another superstar eyeing the exit.

Only this time it’s not even about money.

It’s worse. It’s about Edmonton.

Chris Pronger and his wife want out.

Reports began surfacing Thursday in the Toronto Sun and yesterday on SportsNet that the Prongers find our city unlivable, even at $6.25 million a year, and desperately want a trade.

Don’t like Edmonton

How’s that for a punch in the Oiler logo. It almost seemed unbelievable at first, too cold to be true. Then, late last night, Pronger’s agent Pat Morris confirmed the rumours.

The story is that his wife is homesick, as she’s from St. Louis. It’s supposedly not a hockey issue. Well SUCK IT UP PRINCESS!! Your hubby chose to sign a 5 year contract when he came here. He was thrilled to get it. He’s making 6.25 million/year, and you are complaining??? PUHLEASEE! Why marry a professional athlete if you can’t handle getting moved around??!! I had to accept the fact when my hubby got transferred to bumfuckalberta, and I had to quit my job that I loved, and it was NOT for big bucks!

It’s just too bad….. he played great for us, the whole city fell in love with him, and now he’s going to be public enemy #1 if this all turns out to be true. BAH HUMBUG! I’m going to become a lawn bowling fan!
