"[Pronger's] a tough player and an aggressive player," Ottawa Senators defenseman Luke Richardson said to TSN on Friday. "[There's] probably a double standard, I think sometimes if you are a superstar you might get a little bit of a benefit of the doubt, but also works against you that if he plays and he's a repeat offender, sometimes that might work against you, too."

Favoritism? Um yeah. That's why guys like Hatcher and Pronger can get away with shit all the time and no-names get suspended frequently. Just ask Jordin Tootoo.
