Could be crucial in the series

[mightysimi]

VOORHEES, N.J. -- Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger is confident he'll take part in the playoffs against the Buffalo Sabres, though he's noncommittal about suiting up for Game 1.
Pronger, a former NHL MVP, has been sidelined since having hand surgery in March. He also missed time with a foot injury and was limited to just 50 games this season.
The Flyers won the Atlantic Division and finished second in the Eastern Conference. They'll host the Sabres in the series opener Thursday night.
Pronger skated and held a stick during practice Tuesday, but didn't take any shots. He suggested he might try Wednesday.

Your darn right its critical. I was hoping that punk wouldn't make it back, but I guess my hopes will be crushed. He will def' make a very big difference in this series if he plays.

• Oh, Danny Briere you scamp and/or ass-coverer: The Philadelphia Flyers forward told WGR in Buffalo that Chris Pronger will not play in Game 1 of their series against the Sabres and said it was "very possible" Prongs would miss the first round. Later, he told reporters in Philly that he was having a laugh with WGR, and that he "had no clue" about Pronger's status.

If he plays, he plays. I'm more worried about players like Briere, Richards, Giroeax (sp?) and Carter.

Re: Could be crucial in the series

Last night on the news I saw they asked Briere if he's playing and he said no.

Then they asked Lindy what he thought and he said "Danny wouldn't lie" and broke a little smile, as if to know he may be being tricked.

I hate Pronger. I don't want him to play.
