Coaches Rip Players for Quitting in Final Games

0:00On April 16, Dramas bubbling up from the Edmonton Oilers past, with Chris Pronger and former GM Kevin Lowe. In his new book, the 51-year-old defenseman says he planned to take just a one-year qualifying offer to test out Edmonton with his wife. But after a night of drinking, he agreed to a five-year extension without looping her in, which led to his trade request later. Lowe hid back hard, pointing out that Pronger's wife sent a thank-you note the very next day, showing the family was grateful to stay in Edmonton. That pushback has Pronger scrambling to clarify his story, and it's not painting him in the best light. Fans and pundits are scratching their heads over the back and forth, especially since this all ties back to the 2006 trade that shook the. Teamed during their Stanley Cup run, Pronger's comments stirred up old wounds, reminding everyone of the chaos that followed. In a recent interview, Pronger doubled down but shifted gears, insisting he only agreed to terms that night, not fully signed the deal, and the team, announced it anyway.

1:02When pressed on whether he could have backed out, his response left even more confusion hanging in the air. This feud shows how history can resurface in trip-up legacies, but maybe it's time to let these bygone stay buried while the current oilers chase, fresh glory on the ice.
