In Chris Pronger's time in St. Louis, he had a $1 million bonus based on his +/- by the end of the season. Pronger recently told a story about how he had the bonus in the bag and just needed to ensure he did not have a bad game.
He mentions how Hall-of-Famer Grant Fuhr was in net and how he made it clear that if he had a bad game, he would lost out on $1 million.
Pronger begins by mentioning how Grant Fuhr, despite having the record for assists by a goalie in a single season, was terrible at playing the puck.
The stakes of the situation is massive so Pronger's heart was racing after Fuhr let in a softy.
Fuhr clearly did not care all that much as he quipped back with a legendary response.
Here is the full video of Pronger saying his side of the story:
