If there's anything to be appreciated about Arizona Coyotes legend Chris Pronger's time as a Flyer, it was his tenacious work ethic, coupled with his relentless will to win at any costs. Matched with his ability to hit people that seemed almost like a second nature to him, it wasn't at all difficult to see why Pronger was so revered during his time with the Flyers.
During Saturday's All-Star Celebrity Shootout, as part of All-Star Weekend, Pronger had the opportunity to deliver a hit on pop star and fellow Canadian Justin Bieber into the boards.

Just another reason why Pronger is one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of skates. Not only does it feature him running Bieber into the glass — something I'm sure plenty of us wouldn't mind doing after that music of his that we've been subjected to over the years — but it features that menacing, snarling grin that hockey fans have been accustomed to. Feels good to see that back in action.
Here's a video of the action:

NHL All-Star Weekend is always known as a way for the league to have some fun, all while taking a short break from the demands of the season. This will surely go down as one of the most fun All-Star Weekend moments.
