Yannick Hansen

I think it's a fair question.

You know what?

For Pronger, I guess I can scoot 25 minutes.

You know what?

When I got called up in that playoff against Anaheim and we played them there,

I was digging in the crease at one point and he kind of like, he laughed and he's like, you want to do something here?

And I was like, this is not one of the proudest moments, but I probably, I skated away from that one.

I was like, no, I'm not interested in this one.

Again, obviously he had a reputation.

I don't know if I'd had five years in the league.

I don't think my decision would have been any different.

He definitely had a presence to go along with him.

I don't know if there was any laughter when we played them, but he was nasty to play against.

He was obviously mean.

It was that type of defenseman, that error.

And at the same time, he had the size and the physicality to go along.

So it wasn't like a pretend mean that you sometimes see along.

He could back it up, whether it was...

yeah, dropping the gloves or hitting or like, like the stick work, the cross check, the slash, like, like it was, it was everything.

As soon as you got within, it felt like 10 feet of him that the stick could reach you.
