Pronger, who was paired with MacInnis for most of his nine years in St. Louis, tells this story:
"Playoffs in 1998, Game 2," Pronger told The Dispatch in 1999. "I got hit by a puck, collapsed on the ice and was out cold. I didn't know where I was, who I was … anything. When I came to, I was laying flat on my back, and my eyes flickered open. I saw these really bright lights, from the roof of the arena, and I saw Al MacInnis' face.
"Bright lights, Al's face. I said to myself: 'These fans in St. Louis are right … Al MacInnis is God.' "
I'm going to play hockey tonight. I'm so excited!
