Most online World Cup betting favorites will have a solid defender, and the opposition will try to go at him like Lesnar in the upcoming UFC 116 betting Match. In the NHL, Philadelphia has Chris Pronger, who is playing in his third Stanley Cup final with a different team in the last five years, and Chicago is trying to throw the big man off in this year's championship series.

Pronger leads the playoffs in ice time with 28:56, playing in every situation imaginable. Usually he's up against the Chicago line of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien, and his main goal is to move the 260-pound Byfuglien from in front of the Flyers' net. But he has been getting attention from the rest of the Blackhawks, particularly Ben Eager, who earned an offsetting misconduct at the end of Game 2's 2-1 win for Chicago. Eager and Pronger were jawing at each other as Pronger picked up the game puck, which Eager told him he could have, and Pronger responded by shooting a towel thrown on the ice by a fan at Eager. Also, a number of Blackhawks were seen slashing at Pronger throughout the first two games.

Pronger has been the focus of other teams before, so he should be able to keep his cool, but he has been known to do stupid things as he has a number of suspensions under his belt. The Blackhawks are hoping that the slashes will add up and slow Pronger down, and if they can get under his skin, that's a boost for their online sports betting odds.
