Video: Dustin Byfuglien Sends Chris Pronger Flying

Chris Pronger has been a menacing figure in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Philadelphia Flyers, logging over 29 minutes of ice time per game (best in the NHL) and proving that he still has the ability to be a dominant force as a No. 1 defenseman.

His performance during Philadelphia's 7-4 loss in Game 5, however, was not his best of the postseason, as he was on the ice for five Chicago goals and in the penalty box for a sixth. He was also on the receiving end of a thunderous hit from Chicago's truck of a power forward, Dustin Byfuglien.

And here it is...



That's probably as hard as you're ever going to see Pronger go down.

Byfuglien, for what it's worth, also scored two goals -- his first two of the series -- giving him 10 during the postseason, and ending what had been a four-game goal-scoring drought. He was also credited with a game-high nine hits.

Pronger finished the game as a minus-five in 28 minutes of ice time.
